The pretty wrappings about the cure
alls as they came from the laboratory
of his fancy have worn off along with
the talking labels, revealing the hurt
full character and spurious ingredi-
ents of the nostrums he sought to put
upon the market. Above them all the
truth, which the people so long, re-
sisted, and part of them resented,
that the return of such leader to
power could only mean the election OF
a dictator for life, is at length being
generally recognized. Even the pop
ularity of the Teddy bear has waned.
