a Timely Rescue from a Most Fearful
Death.

The Wilmington (Del.) Morning Nems,
ofSept. 9Th, 1886, gives the following his
tory of a prominent business mans plucky
fight and terrible experience with that
much dreaded and always-to- be- feared
disease, Cancer.
Some five years ago a barber accident
ally cut my lower lip while shaving me.
The pain was worry slight and for some
time hardly gave it a passing thought
Finally it assumed the condition of wart
which refused to heal entirely with all
my efforts in that direction. | went to
one of the leading physicians in Philadel-
phia, who treated ME three months for
cancer, and sent me home cured as he said.
But was apprehensive. l was told by
prominent physician of Wilmington that
| would surely die of cancer. About this
time heard of the wonderful cures effec-
ted by Swift's Specific, known as S. S. S.
was suffering with perfect nervous pros
tration. After had given S. S. S. fair
trial this all disappeared, and I felt like
myself again.
continued to take the Swift's Specific
medicine regularly for several months,
and before l oculd realize how it came
about, was new man again. In fact I
was cured-never felt better in my life,
and from that time up to the present
have never felt the least evidence of a re-
turn of my old trouble. The cancer dis
appeared over n year ago, bus refrained
from making the cure public before this,
as wished to be certain that was cured.
My condition is perfectly normal; have
none of those annoying symptoms which
followed every other treatment used.
honestly believe that have been cured of
one of the worst affections that can be
visited upon the human family, and by
the medicine known as S. S. S. / do not
wish my name to appear in this connec-
tion, for business reasons only, but you
are at liberty to give my name and adj
dress to any fellow-sufferer, or any one
interested in the cause of humanity.

Cure for Piles.

PILES are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are present, flatulency, uneasi-
ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture
like perspiration, producing very
disagreeable itching, after getting
warm, is common attendant. Blind,
Bleeding and Itching Piles, yield at
once to the application of DR.. Bosan-
quo's Pile Remedy, which acts direct
ly upon the parts affected, absorbing
the Tumors, allaying the intense Itch
ing, and effecting permanent cure.

FRANK LEsLiE's POPULAR MONTHLY FOR

on "The Great Fishing Ground, and its
International Questions" in Frank Les
lies Popular Monthly for November
What all the perennial quarrel with our
neighbors is about will be clear to any
one who reads it. A young lady tourist
on IA Visit to Fort Gu Appellee" carries
us to an inland fort and mission in the
Northwest. The never tagging interest
in Charles Edward will stimulate many
to read the very clever article on that
prince. ''Hatfeld House, the Home of
the Cecile" describes and pictures one of
the finest and grandest old and stately
homes of England rich in historic associa-
tons. "An Ocean Swordsmen" by Hol-
der, is a stirring account of the swordtish
and its capture. As good as a jaunt to
jena is 'Dueling at German University
and the "Trip to the Pyrenees' takes the
reader to the mountains which cut off the
Peninsula from ordinary travellers. 1t is
somewhat of a satire, in the heated term
just on us, to read about "Getting Warm;'
but rs Winter is fast coming on, it may
be seasonable. The stories and lllustra-
tons are all good, and the number one to
find readers for every article.

Gov. Sam McEnery, of Louisiana,
must indeed have broad pair of shout
ders if he can stand all the unjust criti-
cisms that have been hurled at him by
the press Of Louisiana in the last few
months. If anything goes wrong he is
blamed and censured, and so very roughly
handled that it is growing to be outra-
geous, and we would call upon our con-
temporaries to at least "tote fair" with
him. He may have his wrongs, as all of
us have, but we do not and cannot be
made to believe that he is the sole cause
of all the wrong doings of the admins
tration. He may reward his friends-who
would not?-and is this crime9 Why
no! Let him have square showing, and
we believe that he will do what is fair.
But from charges unjust, we say, let him
he spared.

theft was a very b,ld one, being MADE
