A Remarkable Cure.

Two years ago last December l took violent
cold which settled on my lungs and soon became
very bad and called IN a doctor to see me- He
examined my case, gave me some medicine which
done me but little or good. still remained
bad and during the last two years sent for three
doctors and they all failed to do me any per-
manent good, and became diseased all over, and
during nay sickness q cancer began to grow in my
breast and it became very sore and painful and
had about given up all hopes of ever being cured
when heard of Miss Tennessee Clahn, then and
now stopping 1.-THE Geiger house in Ottaw a, ho
said to be making great cures and almost per-
forming miracles, and l went to see her and she
examined me and told me all about my situation
and disease and what caused 1t. and said she could
cure me, and also the cancer in my breast, ana
put myself righ. under her treatment, and found
immediate relief from taking her medicine, and it
is now about weeks since put myself under her
treatment and now find myself almost entirely
well and the cancer cured. live on High Prairie,
in La Sale county, some or miles northeast Of
Ottawa. Mrs. s. NJ. JOHNSON.

great caution and care, as it was seated over and
