All that is known S<2ztk the cause and
| nature of cancer can ,5Fs told in q few
| words. The name Ras selected because
| of its fancied resemblance to a crab
| cancer being the latin for crab. That
| there is any real difference in the nature
| of the various growths called cancers is
not known, but because they differ in
some particulars they are divided into
| four principal yarieties-hard (scirrhus) 1,
soft (sarcoma) colloid and epithelial
| (skin cancer. The hard cancer attacks
the breast, skin, rectum, testicle, tonsil
and eye. The soft cancer occurs in the
bones. breast, eye, uterus and bladder.
The colloid cancer is found in the peri
| toneum, ovary, breast, limbs, par otid,
rectum, and in the alimentary canal.
The epithelium cancer locates itself on
places where the mucous membrane
meets the skin; hence the lips, eyelids,
anus, etc. Whether these four varie-
| ties represent each different disease or
the same disease greatly modified no one
| knows. This much is known, however;
that, so far as any treatment is useful
for cancer, it is equally applicable to
these four kinds. What cures one kind
win cure ali four.
1t was thought at one time that the
discovery of the so-oalled cancer cell
would enable the microscopic 10 in
fallibly detect the true cancer. But the
cancer cell has had its day, and little or
no light is shed on the matter by the
microscope. By some any growth that
causes decorating pains, enlargement of
the surrounding Emphatic glands, and
tendency to become fixed or immovable,
is called cancer at once, but the nu-
merous mistakes which this assumption
leads to shows it to be an unreliable in
dication of true cancer. The unc ertainty
which hovers over every suppose bic case
of cancer is largely responsible for the
widespread fear as to the possible nature
of every trivial enlargement for fear it
may be cancer. This scare about cancers
Is doing vast deal OF harm, not only in
the incalcuble anxiety and needless ex-
pense that it causes, but IL actually sends
to premature graves quite number of
people annually from heroic treatment
for alleged cancers. This evil is asum-
ing such vast proportions that 1t Becomes
the duty of every regular surggBn TO do
all he can to warn the masses ,s&nnst it.
No one surgeon has treateSg reater

Scrofulous and syphilitic growths SO
perfectly resemble canoerous growths
very frequently that even with the aid
of the microscope no difference can be
detected. To use the knife or plaster
to remove any growth Of syphilitio or
scrofulitic origin Is simply suicidal. The
frightful list of mortality from supposed
cancerous growths believe to be much
greater than it would be, because of the
heroic treatment. that is commonly used.
Real cancer is a very rare disease, and
Is totally incurable by either knife or
plaster. My advice is to all who have
any growth suspected to be concerous to
commence at once thoroughly conititu-
tionsl treatment. know La-cu-pi-s to
be the best remedy for that purpose ever
invented. Great numbers have used it
after they had been treated years for
cancer by the regular surgeon and can
Ger specialists, and found, TO their sur
prise and joy, that thorough constitu-
tional treatment was all they needed.
The reputation that La-cu-p i-a enjoys
to-day as q cancer cure Is, believe, en-
tirely due to the large number of sup
posed cancers, which are really some
blood disease. I earnestly advise any
one 80 AFFLICTED, no matter how hopeless
you may consider yourself. to give La
cu-pi-a a thorough trial. If, after
faithful use of this great alternative treat
ment, the supposed cancer keeps on
growing, you may be sure you have q
genuine cancer to deal with, and you
had better put yourself in the care of
some regular surgeon who makes the
treatment of cancer speciality.
The treatment which have adopted,
after very extensive experience in the
cure of genuine cancers, can only be sue
cessfully carried out at my Surgical In
stitute at Columbus, OHIO. 1 do not un-
dertake the cure OF real cancers outside,
