Can scirrhus Cancer be Curet

Can Scirrhus Cancer be Cured? This is hard question to answer. Swift's Specific has cured thousands of cases of Skin Cancer, and there have been many cases of Scirrhus Cancer reported cured by it. We do say that s. s. $. is worth trial Tn any case of cancer. We append a statement from Miss Green, of Tal- lapoosa, Ga.,:
 In 1884 I had small lump in my left breast, which proved to be can cer. The first remedy I tried was to have 1t burned of. This did not cure it, for shortly afterwards it broke out again in a much worse form. I then consulted our druggist, who advised me to try Swifts Spec fife (S. $. S.), and after takirg about one dozen bottles, was completely cured, and my general health was greatly improved. Tbis has been over six years ago, and my cancer has never appeared since, nor has it troubled me Tn any way. can cheerfully recommend Swif's Specific (S. s. $. to any one suffering with cancer.

An Essay on Man.

Correspondence of the DEMOCRAT. Man, born of woman, IS as very small potatoes, and few in hill. He riseth up in the early morning and goeth forth wrapped in furs while the mercury lingereth at zero and at noon "Old Sol' beateth down upon his head and smiteth him to the earth.
 He goeth to Dakota and is frozen up in blizzard.
 He emigrateth to Kansas and is swept away by cyclone. He casteth hls lot in the sunny land of Florida, and the yellow fever driveth him to Arkansas, where he Is puffed up by the newspapers, and fiourisheth for time, then vanisheth into insignificance.
 He goeth to Oklahoma and flour isheth upon corner lot, and imme disteiy the bsckbiters at his former home begin to islander him, because he is Democrat and there is a Re. publican of his name in the same town.
 He pitcheth his tent in Pope coun- ty, and the county roads are in such condition that he cannot get away, and there he remaineth.
 He strlyeth to be farmer, and planteth his crops in the river bot. toms, and, To, the spring freshets come and sweep them away.
 He then planteth his cotton upon tue uplands, and the boil worm de. voureth it up.
 He goeth forth on a chill Novem- Der morning and slayeth two shous and pounds of pork, but the next day IS exceeding warm, and behold, his meat is spoiled.
 He goeth into the mercantile busi- ness, and after six months of "quick sales and small profits," he maketh an assignment, with few assets and great liabilities.
 He trieth his luck as a newspaper man, aud the first year his paper se- CuIctu OuC tuuuShuu cuuSCfiucIS, uut the next year eight hundred of them droppeth of, because the editor publisheth nothing but delinquent duns.
 He entereth the legal profession, and his opponents client slappeth him on the cheek, in his first case.
 He entereth the ministry and after six months of service to his "beloved congregation" he is fired out of the church for going to the same saloon as that patronIzed by several mem bers of his flock.
 He starteth into the practice of medicine, and immediately gang of Indian doctors(?) with troupe of negro "musicians" cometh into the town, and beateth him out of his practice.
 He runneth for office, and nine times out of ten he is defeated, but the tenth time he IS elected, and his seat contested, and year after he IS elected, he taketh his seat.
 At last he taketh La Grippe, and he is seized by the cold grip of Death and ko fasseth away like q flower that is "born to blusk unseen"

rur scheme to colonize oklah0ma

THE scheme to colonize Oklahoma withnegroes, with the ultimate design of securing the appointment of a negro governor for the territory. meets with so much disfayor from the whites living in the territory, that the project will very likely prove abortiye. And very properly it should. A negro IS no more suit able to govern Oklahoma than any northern or southern state. Schem CTS, actuated by partlzanship and the hope of personal aggrandizement, are at the bottom Of this Oklahoma movement, and their intrigues should be cut short summarlly.
