A failure

We told r. A. Crothers, Editor and
Proprietor Of the San Francisco Bull
letin, that to convince him Bright's
Disease and Diabetes are durable II he
would send US case we would at.
tempt demonstration.
The result was that we were put in
touch with a young physician who had
Diabetes. He was 80 incredulous at
first that he would not take the
treatment, although there was no
charge. When his case became ex-
IRENE and he was in bed in dark
room he consented. Within four
months from the date that Fulton's
Diabetic Compound was sent him he
called at our Office in person to ex-
press his qualification and asked what
we expected him to do. We replied
that all we asked of him was to call
on Editor Crothefs of the Bulletin and
declare the results. He did so. But
1t seems the disease was not entirely
eliminated, for about three years
thereafter his death was reported.
We do not make strong claims in
young cases and were prepared for
failure. But who can measure the
value of those three years added to
the patients life?. Who will say il
was not worth while? ...
If middle-aged or over we look for
permanence In many cases. (There
have been number who have been
cured over ten years.
Fulten's Diabetic Compound can be
had at Honolulu Drug Company, Fort
]. Fulton Company, San Francisco.

There was no federal official record Of
votes cast in presidential elections
prior to 1888, but the record from that
year down to 1908 shows the following
results: 1888, 1881 .408; 1902. 12.042.-

continued throughout the campaign of

Single Tax---How 1t Works

away with.
Society is i'll, or sick; everybody
knows 1T: How can we cure it
In the so-ealled science of medi-
cine, for the human body. there
are many remedies. These are
sometimes divided into palliative,
alternative, curative and prophy-
Tactic or preventive medicines.
Palliative medicine merely
draws the disease out so that you
will not have 1t all at once. This
is often like cutting off the dogs
tail an inch at a time so as not to
hurt it too much by doing it at
one lick.
Alternatives, like cool water or
ice on the brow of the fevered
patient, soothes the pain and
makes easier, but does not cure.
Curative medicine, like quinine
for malaria, cures the thing and
makes the patient we'll; but,
Prophylactic, or preventive,
medicine, destroys the disease
tendencies before they have taken
hold and does away with the need
of all cure.
The Single Tax, to the social
sickness, is all of these kinds of
medicine at once.
1t will stop the coming of all
the evils at one time; it will
tighten those that we have; it will
Eventually cure them and, pro-
alphabetically by destroying their
cause, prevent them ever recur-
ring.
This is scientific, rational and
wise and expedi-
|ent. Let us have it.
There is no danger that the
world, socially insane for centur-
les, will become sane in a day and
do this thing at once. That would
be too good.
But there is no use of you and
me, who. of course, are thorough
ly sane, adding to the insanities
by proposing irrational, made
|quate, and inefficient remedies
that will leave 1.-The last state of
that man worse than the first
state"
