THE more the results OF the Vermont election are
studied, the clearly they show that while
the Roosevelt movement cannot be victorious. It
bring disaster to the Republican party in all close
States unless II be diverted checked The Vermont
figures show that the Progressive party recruited
OF its strength the Democrats party and prsct
caly all Of It from the Republican party AS it has
done that In Vermont IL is safe to assume that IT will
do It in all the other States including Delaware.
AS the situation presents itself to the honest
minded Progressive Republicans in our State, they
must decide whether they going TO rest content
with delivering the Delaware electors to Wilson. the
Democratic nominee, intend TO carry the fight 10 the
extreme Of turning State and county governments
10 the local Democratic machine. We incline
to the belief that large majority Of the Progress
sives keenly sverse TO giving to the Democrats
control OF Delaawre. and that n Alice Layton
and Houston succeed in putting Progressive State
ticket in the field the rank and file Of the Progress
sives will refuse to support IL.
II is foregone conclusion that Colonel Roose-
yet win the Presidency and that his followers
cannot carry this State Il seemingly also is fore
gone conclusion that they have the voting strength
needed TO make Delaware Democratic II they desire
TO do IT, Our candid opinion is that apart from a
handful Of political renegades the Delaware Progress
sives have sire 10 put their necks beneath
the Democratic yoke for four years.

his last call. A month or so after
wards a neighbor of his called and
got a bottle of the same medicine, say
ing that my patient was practically
well man, attending to his duties
about his large farm.
I had given him the Neutralizing
Mixture which was a remedy that |
had used before only for bowel dis
eases. The same remedy that has
since been sold under the name Of
Peruna. could not quite under
stand how il was that Peruna should
operate so benefcially in such SEEM
ingly different diseases. | had not
yet grasped the correct philosophy of
disease. | did not then clearly COM
prehend that catarrh may affect the
kidneys as we'll as the bowels Moth
ing Of that sort was taught In the
books in those days. II took me years
before / clearly comprehended that
catarrh was a disease liable to attack
any organ Of the body.
Catarrh is a disease Of the mucous
membranes. The mucous membranes
line every organ, duct and cavity In
the body. Thus It is catarrh may set
tie anywhere where there is a mucous
membrane.
Peruna is my remedy for all these
cases. I insist upon IT, however,
that Peruna is not a cure-all. I use
It for Just one disease, catarrh. But
as catarrh is liable to affect so many
different places. disturb so many diff
ferent functions. derange so many diff
ferent organs. Il does seem to many
people as II l regarded Peruna as a
cure-all.
The above narrative is simply one
Of the many cases in my early prac-
tice that brought me to comprehend
the wonderful efficacy of PeTuna
in such q variety Of diseases. The
kidneys maybe affected by other dis
eases than catarrh, but the average
lease Of kidney disease is catarrh Of
! the kidneys. All cases of Bright's dis
lease begin with catarrh Of the
kidneys This being true, and II
also being true that Peruna is a ca
tarrh remedy it follows that a great
