CANCERS are in all instances caused by
chemical change in the blood, induced by inn
perfect digestion. In this case, there being
certain elements wanting in the composition Of
the blood, the chemical reaction forms double
decomposition which produces deadly pol
sOnOus substance; this finds its way to the
weakest part or point where nature is least cap
able of resisting or throwing off the irritating
poison and forms a CANCER. Old ulcers and
sores of every kind, are produced precisely in
the same manner. BOils, eruptions, erysipelas,
blotches, rashes, &C., salt rheum, liberated and
inflamed ewes. are all the results of the above
causes. Asthma, or phthisic, bronchitis, hoarse-
ness, and every affection of the chest, heart and
throat are caused in this manner.
Also, every variety OF dropsy and fits are
produced by the above combination of causes,
as is also every conceivable variety of eruptiOns
blotches, alterations, and blood diseases, pre-
mature changing and falling of the hair, neural

Why and how do our wonderful remedies
of disease? As we have shown, Consumption
is produced by imperfect digestion of the food
in the stomach (and from poisonous matter),
thus at once robbing the blood of it's proper
life.giving elements; the consequence is,
chemical change takes place in the blood,
which produces new compound, and as the
blood is passed through the lungs, where it re-
ceived it's oxygen from the air inhaled this
new compound is left as sediment or deposit
in the lungs and ATTITUDES the moment it comes
in contact with oxygen and very soon (this be-
ing a foreign substance), nature strives to
remove it, and throw it off by the process of
coughing, which is at first dry, hacking, or
tickling cough but as time flies on the cough
becomes much harder, and soon liberation be-
gins to show itself by yellowish mucus being
spit up, and as the unnatural deposit of poison
Gus irritating material is constantly being in
creased, it accumulates in the a'r-cells, and
forms what are called Tubercles, and the case is
then one of true Consumption. In some cases.
at first, there is congestion, in consequence of
this deposit, and then the patient will spit
blood more or less, at times, as the result.
As further proof that this theory is correct
we will mention the fact that in consumption
the slow but steady loss of all the flesh of the
body before DEATH is caused by no other condi-
ton but the cOmpletefailure of the digestive Or
gans to digest and extract the proper nOurish-
ment from the food to sustain the body and
build it up. Any child must see from mo-
ment's reflection that there can be no other
possible rational cause for this awful disease
In most cases Of consumption the patient eats
twice or three times the ordinary amount of
food, and in many cases they may not feel any
inconvenience from it; but still the gradual
emaciation of the flesh shows that with the in
creased appetite and amount of food taken
into the stomach the disease goes on I'M
checked, and a sure death is the result.
Another proof that our theory is correct lies
in the fact that certain articles of food and
medicine that are extremely easy of digestion
and assimilation, do seem, in many cases. to
retard the fatal issue of the complaint by being
SO easily digested that considerable nOursh-
ment is given the body, and much hope that
the patient may recover from their use and
one of these articles is Cod Liuer Oil. So much
benefit has been derived from it that the best
physicians have been Iured into belief that it
would cure the disease, and save life. hence its
almost universal use in such cases. But let us
warn you that such is not the case. In every
instance where it has done any apparent good,
it has been because of its extreme easy digesti-
bility, and the temporary life and vitality it has
produced by its nourishng qualities. 1t has
in many, very many cases, done much good in
this way, and thus prolonged life and smoothed
the way to the grave by melting hope. and
strengthening the system, ooSening the cough.
and quieting irritation.
But 70 one ever saw or heard of real case
Of consumption where the patient was cured
by its use. It has no real curative properties
whatever aside from those we have mentioned
Therefore, my dear friends who may be the
unfortunate victims OF this monstrous foe do
not in any case rely upon this article to remove
the cause and cure the disease and thus lose
your life in the end. AS ar auxiliary to the
right remedies to remove the morbid cOndi-
ton that produces the disease, II is good and
in some cases where the stomach will bear it,
much good may be done by it, Other articles
are equally as good for all the purposes Of the
above, and one is cream taken from sour milk,
and eaten with other food freely We have
known in all cases just as much good result
from this as from cod liver OIL and certsihiy
it is far cheaper and more paatable.
Our treatment in this terrible complaint cOa'

ganS TO produce at once regular, normal ac-
ton at the very seat of life--in other words,
strike immediately at the bottom and founda-
ton of the whole chemical laboratory, where
the blood and every fluid and solid of the body
is prepared and sent in SIN Ii parcels to every
nook and corner of the living machinery. BY
this system and theory we at once correct any
and every diseased action of the blood making
apparatus, and by proving in each individual
patients case the erGct combination of symp-
toms they labor under, we can tell to nicely
the precise nature and extent Of the departure
from natural state, and thus see just what
kind and quantity of chemical elements are re-
quired to properly remedy and fully restore
each case. The way we can get ut it in this
scientific manner is this All persons who
know anything of the science and laws of
health, know that the natural healthy fluids of
the stomach, digestive organs and blood, are
perfect chemical compounds, made up of just
so much of just so many kinds of elements or
substances, and the exact relations one holds
to the other, and the whole mass. Now, to
treat disease on scientific principles, and with
exact certainty in every case, the wellexperien-
ced physician has only to learn the eract symp-
toms as manifested in each individual patient
brought to his notice, to know to certainty
