CANCER IS MOTTime was wucn Cancer wai considered as incurable as leprosy.

Physicians and friends could^giye little relief or encouragement to .. „ ^one afflicted with this terrible disease. Even now doctors know of no remedy for this fearful malady; while admitting it to be"a blood disease, they still insist that there is no hope-outside of a surgical operation, and advise you to have the Cancer cot out,but at the same time cannot assure you that it will not return. You may. cut or draw out the sore, but another will come inits place, for the disease is in the blood — is deep-seated and destructive, and beyond the reach of the surgeon's knife orcaustic, flesh-destroying plasters. The blood must be purified: and strengthened, the system relieved of all poisonous, effetematter before the Cancer sore will heal.

S. S.S. is the only medicine that can overcome this powerful aad contaminating poison and force it out of the blood. Itbuilds up and invigorates the old, and supplies new, rich, life-giving blood. S. S. S. is a purely vegetable remedy ; no mineralcan be found in i t ; the roots and herbs from which it is made contain powerful purifying properties that act directly uponthe blood system and make a safe and permanent cure of Cancer. It has cured thousands, why not you ?

Cancer is not always inherited ; your family may be free from any taint, yet your blood may become so polluted that a severe_ * - ' _ _ m- _ ~ m and stubborn form of the disease may

Impure Blood Invites Disease,or hurt, a little pimple on the eyelid, lip

or nose, a small lump on the jaw or breast, a harmless looking wart or mole, an<f u>ther causes so insignificant as to attractlittle or no attention. If you have an obstinate sore, don't rely upon salves of ointments to cure it — begin with S. S. S»at once; it will cleanse your blood and prevent the formation of cancerous cells.

Mrs. R. Shirer XA Plata, Mo., tferiteS: " A. small pimple came on my jaw about one inch below theear on the left side of my face. At first it gave me no trouble, and I did not think it was anythiag seriousuntil the jaw began to swell and became much inflamed. At the same time the sore b«gan to spread andeat into the flesh, and gave me intense pain. I tried everything I could hear of, but nothing did me anygood. I then began the use of S. S. S., and after taking several bottles the Cancer healed, and thereIs now no sign of the disease. This was two years ago, and I am still enjoying perfect health."
