Walter Wellman of the Chicago
Record-Herald says President Roose-
welt is of the opinion that Bryan will
be the democratic presidential candi-
date. That is once where the predic-
tons of both Wellman and the presi-
dent are correct. They might both
strengthen their standing as accurate
prognosticators by declaring that
Bryan will likewise be the next presi-
dent OF the United States.

Centers around

That it isn't cheaper

"God bless the man who first COM
pounded Cuticura. Some two months
ago I had humor break out on my
limbs below my knees. They came to
look like raw beefsteak, all red, and no
one knows how they itched and burned.
They were so swollen that I had to
split my drawers open to get them on
and could not get my shoes on for
week or more. I used five or six diff
ferent remedies and got no help, only
when applying them the burning was
worse and the itching less. One morning
I remembered that [ had bit of Cuti-
cura and tried it. From the moment
it touched me the itching was gone and
I have not felt bit of it since. The
swelling went down and in two days had
my shoes on and was about as usual.

Remedies in the first of my troubles.

MISS MAYME E. SMITH, "A East
4Vl Mound ST., Colum bus, Ohio, writes:
"Have used Peruna for catarrh and
hay fever. The results being remark
able, can highly recommend it to all
who are suffering with the above dis
eases. I am happy to be able to say 1t
has helped me wonderfully"
What is known as hay fever is in
reality endemic catarrh, a catarrhal
condition of the nose, throat, some-
times the bronchial tubes, induced by
some local irritant.
The irritation is generally due to vege-
tai emanations of some sort. Hay has
been suspected as being the cause Of
this malady, hence its name, hay fever.
1t has been attributed to rag weed and
other vegetation also. It is a very
capricious disease, coming and going.
A medicine that will help one case may
not help another. Such treatment has
always been very uncertain and unsat-
isfactory.
Peruna helps some cases without a
doubt, although it is not claimed to be
an infallible remedy for such cases.
