Bryan forced tho issue il the Demo-
cratic convention At Baltimore. His
political enemies had delightful
time condemning him, but those who
are able TO see through the political
horoscope know that the Democratic
party must take up the cudgel or it is
q dead one. Progression is nothing
more nor less than true democracy. and
for the party to continue fawning with
intefests which hate the very principles
upon which it was founded means dis
aster. Bryan prefers that the party
align itself with progrtssive democracy
rather than fall into decline. The rise
III fayoritism means the fan Of democ-
racy and the reactionary Is playing to

have refused to purge themselves, Bryan

cratic party must therefore, take UP the

The Commercial saw months ago that
Woodrow Wilson was the strongest man
before the great body OF Democrats for
the nomination; il was plain then and
1t is palmer now the mistake Bryan
made in not singIing out the strongest
Progressive 10 the fight. Bryan's mis-
take was not so much in leaving Clark
during the convention, but carrying the
Miss0urian on bis shoulders to the con-
yention. That Clark was not the choice
OF the majority Of Democrats was evil
denced in the deluge of messages from
the people everywhere upon the conven-
ton for Wilson. II is therefore unfortu-
nate that Wilson s actual strength could
not be developed from the start, but it
did come in the final struggle and it
swept the convention. Schooled in
stateeraft, America cannot produce Will
SON s counterpart. He is called the sec
ond Iilden, and yet the people have-not
learned the truth Of his oyershadowing
genius and commanding personality.
Better had ii been triumph without
the sacrifice OF another's ambition al
most realized. but far better that III
shosId be so than the loss Of 50 great
an opportunity-the chance Of life
time--to do On undo the fortunes Of
Democracy. Woodrow Wilson is the
nominee, first supported by militant
and answering minority, gathering
strength with each ballot slowly and
surely until finally with crescendo OF
his name swayed the con-
rention and he was made the standard
bearer of Democracy.

SAVED BY SKILL.

The Grateful Man Tells OF His Re-
markable Cure by Dr. Lansing.
Among the hundreds who have sought
advice and treatment OF DIR. E. Holden
Lansing since the great specialist became
located in this city. is Mr.. Leon Gouchie,
a tiremen in the employ of the Saco River
Lumber Co.
Mr.. Gouchie was obliged to give up his
position on account OF an aggravated
stomach trouble which had turned his
life into living torture. He was unable
to sleep, and could retain nothing on his
stomach. and thought he surely had got
to die. Numerous physicians had given
him no relief or encouragement, and be
had fruitlessly dosed with patent medi-
cines.
That was January 9Th, this year, and to-
day he is as well as ever, eats and digests
anything he wishes, sleeps soundiy, is fast
regaining his lost flesh, and has resumed
his position with the lumber company.
He firmly believes DIR. Lansing has saved
his life.
Mr.. Gouchie is IS years OF age and un-
married, and he told his story as follows,
to the Record reporter, in an honest,
manly way that leaves no room for doubt:
II had been sufferer from what physi-
clans called dyspepsia for three years, and
had endured agonies that can scarcely
describe. The disease grew upon me
gra frta Il
took their medicine faithfully, and also
tried patent medicines that were guar
anteed to cure, but all were Of no avail.
Finally my case was given up, and was
led to believe my case incurable. l could
retain nothing on my stomach, and every
thing ! ate distressed me. My nights
were passed in sleepless torture. / was
compelled to give up my work as had
lost thirty pounds in weight and could
hardly drag myself about.
l read DR.. Lansing's advertisement in
the Record, and though thoroughly dis
Outraged, resolved to call on him. I did SO
January 9Th, and, after examination he
gave me some medicine which took and
at once found relief. became better at
once and three days later returned to
work, and have worked steadily ever
since, and am fast getting back to my old
self.
eat and sleep better than at any time
in three years, and have gained 16 pounds
in weight. DIR. lansing has done won
derfui thing for me, and IL he does as well
for Others who place themselves under his
treatment, they will have cause to be
grateful for his coming to our city"

RELIEF AT LAST.
After Two Years of Suffering from
Catarrh.

After Two Years of Suffering from
Catarrh.
Mr.. A. w. Sweetser, well-known Bid
deford electrician, writes DR.. Lansing as
follows:
DR.. K. Holden lansing,
Dear Sir: 1 had been a sufferer from
catarrh, accompanied by racking cough
for over two years, which was at times so
severe that | could obtain no rest either
day or night. Last June l was obliged to
give up my work altogether and stay in
doors. tried several doctors and many
remedies without obtaining permanent
relief.
1t was at this time that / adopted your
Germicide Inhaler, and 1 derived imme-
date benefits, and have not experienced
any trouble since, and believe that / am
fully cured. / write this in the hope that
you will use it, and that others similarly
afflicted may recover their health through
its fundamentally.
Yours truly,

SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT FOR
BLOOD POISONING.
Mr.. Joseph Thibodeau, of Presqu'
Isle, Gives Testimony to Skill
ofsDr. Lansing.

ofsDr. Lansing.
Mr.. Joseph Thibodeau was treated by
DR.. lansing, Monday, II inst, for blood
poisoning. Following is MIR. Tnibodeau's
statement: 3 While at work in the woods
for T. Il. Phair making ties / caught cold
in bad chap or crack in my right hand;
inflammation set in and suffered so badly
with it that 1 didn't sleep for several
nights; the hand swelled to three times
its natural size, turned black and the
swelling and pain began to extend up the
arm until the arm was in bad shape and
panied me all the way to the shoulder.
came to Pressure Isle Monday, the 18th
inst, consulted DR.. Lansing, who opened
the wound and cleaned it Of large
quantity ofipus and proceeded to treat the
hand. The result is that my hand is now
reduced to natural size, the inflammation
has subsidized, and the wound is healing
nicely.
i feel that DR.. Lansing has probably
saved my hand and possibly my life, and
am glad to give this statement in favor of
his skill.
