CUTS r01111(1 at Last. Cancer can not te cured by a surgical operation, because the disease is a virulent poison in the blood, circulating throughout the system, and although the sore or ulcer —known as the Cancer—may te cut away, the poison remains in the blood, and promptly breaks out afresh, with renewed violence. The wonderful success of S. S. S. in curing obstinate, deep-seated blood diseases which were considered incurable, induced a few despairing sufferers to try it for Cancer, after exhausting the skill of the physicians without a cure. Much to their delight S. S. S. proved equal to the disease and promptly effected a cure. The glad news spread rapidly, and it was soon demonstrated beyond doubt that a cure had at last been found for deadly Cancer. Evidence has accumulated which is incontrovertible, of which Ms Ish the following is a specimen : “Cancer is hereditary in our family, my father, a W- -W sister and an aunt having died from this dreadful disease. My feelings may be imagined when the hor- ZsSx rible disease made its appearance on my side. It was a malignant Cancer, eating inwardly in such away as fjMfegflMEjLSg to cause great alarm.
