The

Cruel Knife!

The alarming increase in the number of deaths which occur as the result of a surgical operation is attracting general attention, and a strong sentiment against such methods of treatment is fast developing among the most intelligent classes. It seems that in almost every case for which the doctors' treatment is unsuccessful, the learned physicians decide at once that an operation must be performed, and the keen blade of the surgeon is recklessly resorted to.

Doctors are human, and of course are liable to make mistakes, but their mistakes are too fatal to be indulged in promiscuously, and as so many lives are sasrificed in this manner, it is but natural for the public to believe that half the operations are unnecessary, besides being a fearful risk to human life, even if successful.

It is a positive fact, however, that all ^operations are not necessary, and that a majority of them are absolutely undertaken without the slightest chance of success. The doctors have never been able to cure a blood disease, and a surgical operation is their only method of treating deep-seated cases, such as cancer and scrofulous affections. Aside from the great danger, an operation never did and never will cure cancer, as the disease never fails to return. Cancer is in the blood, and common sense teaches anyone that no disease can be cat from the blood.

Here is a case where the pain inflicted on a six-year-old boy was especially cruel, and after undergoing the tortures -produced by the surgeon's knife he rapidly grew worse. Mr. J. N. Murdoch, the father of the boy, residing at 279

Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes: "When my son, Will, was six years old, a small sore appeared on his lip, which did not yield to the usual treatment, but before long began to grow. It gave him a great deal of pain, and continued to spread. He was treated by several good doctors, who said he had cancer, and advised that an operation was necessary. "After much reluctance, we consented, and they cut down to the jaw bone, which they scraped. The operation was a severe one, !mt I thought it was the only hope for my boy. Before a great while the cancer returned, and began to grow rapidly. We gave him many remedies without relief, and finally upon the advice of a friend, decided to try S.S.S. (Swift's Specific), and with the second Dottle he began to improve. After twenty bottles had been taken, the cancer disappeared entirely and he was cured. The cure was a permanent one, for he is now seventeen years old, and has never had a sign of the dreadful disease to return."

S.S.S. is far ahead of all other blood remedies, because it is the only one which cures deep-seated obstinate blood diseases such as Cancer, Scrofula, Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism, etc. It is the only blood remedy guaranteed

Purely Vegetable

containing not a particle of mercury, potash, or other mineral ingredient, which are so injurious to the system. S.S.S. is sold by all druggists.

Books on Cancer and Blood Diseases will be mailed free to any address by the Swift Specific Company, Atlanta, Ga.

Before submitting to the CC knife, try the only real blood remedy.

But it seems that he made a break the second time that he went to the table to partake of the delicacies that gave him away, and he excused himself posthaste. He aimed to give away a young gentleman at the table and the young lady happened to be at the table also. When Rattlesnake found it out you ought to have seen him get.

ILLINOIS FEDERATION OF LABOR.

Kittor K«*snl ut inn mi 1 lie Sliootint? ISoforrotl. BLOOMixciTox, Ills., Sept. 15.—Tho Illinois Federation ot Labor has referred a set of bitter resolutions, denouncing the killing of the Ilazelton minors as brutal slaughter, to a eoiumittce.

President Reirtler, in his annual address, said: "Just as long as labor must divide the products of its toil with those who control the opportunities to labor, just so long will millionaires and paupers alike exist in society. Superficial remedies are inadequate to subdue undamental ills." He recommended tho Federation to "take a bold and unequivocal stand in l'avor of the abolition of land monopoly by levying all taxes upon land values irrespective of improvements and in lieu of all other taxes."

SEARCHING FOR A PIN.

RIIVH Use»l Dili I To Locate tlio Krass In a Clillil's Body.

WHITE COTTAGK, O., Sept. 15.—Frank Desselni, aged 2, pulled a pin from his mother's dress several days ago and swallowed it. It had an ill effect on him, and tho rays were turned 011 him in a vain quest for tho pin. Up to date it has not been found, but the infant will be rayed daily until the piece of brass is located. Ho is being treated at Columbus.

From the other indications, Dr. Harvey Reed and Dr. Early, who have been handling the case, fear that the pin has lodged in the rear of the duct which leads to the stomach. I11 that case little Frank's back will have to be cut open to get at it.

STRAIGHT TALK.

That the Wise Will Listen to and Iff ft-:/ Act as Advised,

Ask a sick man about health, He can tell you more in a minute Than a well man can in a month. When you've lo6t it, you'll realize it. And when recovered, you'll know its worth.

Be tied to the house for six months And you'll admire the very mud and stumps,

And dismal rail—when cured and out of doors. Some one has said we are "creatures of circumstance."

We are more "creatures of conditions." But we govern conditions largely today.

We apply special remedies and get special results. Specialists are the only successful physicians.

And special remedies are demanded. There are doctors for the heart. There are doctors for the lungs. There are doctors for the brain. Specialists—and for that reason successful.

Doan's Kidney Pills are specialists. The kidneys are the battle ground. They are useless outside these limits. But always victors in the field. Nothing erratic in their triumphant march.

They come to conquer and they come to stay. 11 is not a question of helping once and then "lose their usefulness"

They can be appealtd to if kidney trouble recurs, and then they will not be appealed to in vain.

Doan's Kidney Pills are sold by all dealers. Price 50 cents per box. Mailed on receipt of Drice by Foster-Milburn Co., BufEalo, N. Y,, sole agents for the United States.
