Carelessness in Regard to the Morals of
Children

Mary T. Lathrap, President of Mich
igan w. c. L. L., stating the causes of
drunkenness, enumerates as a first
cause, the carelessness with regard to
the morals of children. 1.-The streets
of towns, large and small, are crowded
with boys and girls whose freedom
from restraint is likely to prove their
ruin. In a recent report of the Wo-
mans Prison of Massachusetts,, it APP
pears that ninety per cent of these
criminal women come to their loss
through drink, and a very large ma
Jority begin to get their first appetite
for liquor between the ages of ten and
thirteen years, by drinking cider and
beer, at the solicitation of older wo-
men. These traps are everywhere for
the unwary feet, and yet parents let
the younger children go beyond their
care, thinking their very innocence a
safeguard against sin. Alas how many
find too late that childhood may be
despOiled. At fourteen comes the dam
ger line TO youth. | have wished
sometimes | could take some careless,
and over-trustful mothers with me for

ROBERT SMEDLEY'S.
Testimony as to Cancer Cure.

For many years | was a sufferer
with cancer of the nose, and having
been cured by the use of S. S. s., Heel
constrained by a sense of duty to
suffering humanity to make this state
ment OF my case.
first discovered the sore on my
nose,whlch afterward proved cancer,
during the year 1868, while in the
army of Tennessee, stationed ut Bull
| Gap. At first it gave me but little
trouble, still | could not get rid of it,
and though | tried hundreds of RENE
dies it gradually grew worse, and dur
ing the last two years troubled me
greatly. Something over year ago |
was advised to take s. S. S, and was
finally induced to try a dozen bottles.
When the dozen bottles were taken up,
though my general health was much
benefited, the cancer remained on my
nose. | concluded to take no more Of
the S. 5. s., but my friends made a
critical examination of the afflicted
member and decided that it looked
better, and prevailed on me to con-
tinue the medicine. With the four
teenth bottle the cancer began to heel
rapidly and soon disappeared, and for
several months there has been no ap-
pearance of a sore of any kind on my
nose or face, neither is my nose at all
tender to the touch. | have taken
about two dozen bottles of 5. S. s, and
am soundly cured, and l know that S
5. 5. effected the cure after every
known remedy was tried and had
failed. / will further state that my
mother had a cancer on her nose on
the same side and the exact spot rela-
lively that mine was, and had always
thought mine was hereditary and in
durable. ROBERT SMEDLEY.
