So many peoplo die from Cuncer simply IKS-causo thoy do not know just what tho disenso is;they naturally turn themselves over to tlio doctors,and are forced to submit to a cruel nnd dangerous

operation—tho only treatment which tlio duclura know for Cancer. Tho disoasopromptly returns, howovnr, and is ovon more violent and destructive thanbefore. Cancer is n deadly poison in tho blood, nnd an operation, plaster, orother external treatment can hnyo no cfFcct whatever upon it. The cure-mustcomo from within—tho last vestigo of poison must bo eradicated.

Mr. Wm. Walpolo. of Wnlslitown, S, D., nays: " Alittle blotcii about tho sizo of a pea came under my leftcyo. gradually growing; larger, from which shoot inj; pains,at intervjils ran in all Ui rod ions. 1 became greatly nlsinnedand consulted a good doctor, who pronounced it Cancer,nnd advised that it be cut out, hut tliis 1 could not con-Pent to. I read in my local paper of a euro.{.'fleeted byS S.S., nnd decided to try it. It acted like a charm, thoCancer becoming nt first* irritated, nnd then dischargingvery f reply. This gradually grew less anil then discon-tinued altogether* leaving a small scab which ftpoti drop-ped off. nnd now* only a healthy littlo scar remains wherowhat threatened to destroy my Hfo once held full swny,"

Positively tho only euro for Cancer is Swift's Specific—

A surgical operationdoes not reach tho blood—tho real seat ot tlio diseaso—becauso the blood cannot b& cut away. Insist upon S. S. S.; nothing enn take its place.
