THE INCURABLE CURED.
Remarkable Statement from a Well. Known
Citizen of South Carolina.

Cancer is hereditary in my family, an
aunt on each side having died from this
dreadful disease. In each instance the
cancer was located in identically the same
position that mine first made its appearance,
just below the left eye and extended down
the left cheek bone and nose. l was attend.
ed by the best physicians, but the case con-
tinued to grow worse under their treatment.
and no hope of cure could be given by
them; they said: 81 had better have nv
affairs for this life and the next arranged,
for the cancer was liable to strike vital or
gan at any moment, and at once bleed to
death About this time, 1856 I met with
Mr.. Shirley, living near Due West, whose
cancer was being rapidly cured by using
Swift's Specific Is. S. 81 | then gave up
the doctors and all medicines had hereto
fore been using, and commenced taking S.
S. s., and after using the third bottle, de-
scovered that the scab had fallen off, and
that these sharp darling pains, SO character
lstic OF the cancer, had ceased, and the dis
charge was very profuse. In few days it
began to heal rapidly, and soon dried up.
By the time had exhausted the fifth bottle
there was nothing left but the scar where
the cancer had been, and was well man.
The cure effected in my case is considered
by my neighbors most remarkable one. and
clearly demonstrates the fact that S. S. S.,
does cure cancer. Swift's Specific is boon
to humanity, and all ask is, that those
afflicted with cancer give it trial, and like
myself will be convinced of its virtues"

The census of 1870 was taken by
the United States marshals under
the direction of a superintendent,
who worked under the Secretary of
the Interior. AS the marshals were
employees of the department of JUS
tice, the confusion was very great.
The act Of 1879, which governed the
census taking of 1880, and will with
a few notifications apply to that of
1890, was properly the work Of
James A. Garfield, Representative
Cox, General Francis. A. Walker and
Eugene Hale. It provides for the
centering of the work at Washington
and the enumerations by persons who
are solely appointed, except the SUI
vervisors, by the superintendent of
the census. The house to house
count will commence on the first
Monday of next June, and will in
volve inquiries as to age, sex, nativi-
ty, race, physical condition, and a
dozen other things. Forty thousand
enumerators will be in the us CEN
sus districts and for each of these
districts the President will in Febru-
airy appoint supervisor, who will
receive SIPS per month and in addi-
ton thereto 81 for every 1000 of the
population in thickly settled dis
tricts and $40 in others. The emu
merators will be paid two cents for
every lnhabitant, birth and death re-

and thirty cents for each factory re-
corded and for every veteran of the
