CANCER Sufferers from this horrible malady nearly always inherit it — not neeessar.ly from the parents, but may be from some i remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs through several generations. This deadly | poison may lay dormant in the blood for I years, or until you reach middle life, then I the first little sore or ulcer makes its appearance— or a swollen gland in the breast, or some other part of the body, gives the first warning. To cure Cancer thoroughly and permanently all the poisonous virus must be eliminated from the blood—every vestage of it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and is the only medicine that can reach deepseated, obstinate blood troubles like this. When all the poison has been forced out of the system the Cancer heals, and the ■ disease never returns. Cancer begins often in a small way, as the j following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows: A pimple came on my jaw about an inch below the ear ou the left side of my face. It gave

i a frißfc ' J

me no pain or inconveneince and I should have forgotten about it had it not begun to inflame and itch ; it would bleed a little, then scab over, but xould not heal. This continued for some t ime, when mv jaw began to swell, becoming very painful. The Cancer began to eat and spread, until it was as large as a half dollar,when I heard ’ of 8. S. S. and determined to give it a fair trial, nnd it was lemarkable what a wonderful effect

It had from the very beginning ; the lore began to heal and after taking a few bottles disappeared entirely. This was two years ago ; thei e are still no signs of the Cancer, and my general heatlh continues good.—Mrs. R. Shirer, I,a Plata, Mo.
