ACard to the Public.

Last summer l found that a cancer
was forming in my lip which proved to
be very painful apd dangerous en-
ployed skilled surgeons who by the use
of the knife removed what they said was
the cancer entire.
As time rolled on l found that there
was still something remaining that caus.
ed me to believe that the operation of
the knife had not been successful one.
Considerably alarmed ~ what eventually
might result from diseased lip and hav.
ing heard of the success Of M. l. Mes
ser In removing cancers, sent for thai
gentleman and asked him to undertake
to cure me. He very reluctantly took the
case In hand and though the wound made
BY the knife was still In a very tender
condition. he applied his remedies, new
er resorting to the knife at all, and In a
few weeks Of constant attendance he
succeeded in removing four cancerous
roots that the surgeon had cut of and
left In my lip and which were fast grow
ing into seperate cancers. Some OF the
roots were taken out In . decayed con-
dition, having come to that state by use
of Mr.. Messer's appliances, while one or
more were taken out In "llve condition
| and which Mr.. M. has now In his posses.
sion. My lip to-day, FIVE weeks since the
last root was extracted Is nearly we'll and
I know that there Is no cancerous sub.
stance remaining. Mr.. Messers operation
upon my face was without the use Of the
knife, but by poultce applications alone
and medicine Of his own compromising.
Deeply grstetul to Mr.. Messer for his
valuable ministratlons feel that owe II
to others who may suffer as have suf-
fered to cause this card to be published
| for the benefit Of the sufferer that all may
know where they may seek and find re
lief. Very truly yours,
VIM. BOOTH.

We would like to tell Of small conven-

much, and which may help anyone when
they are In hurry sometime. Take some
clean fine sand. dry 1t thoroughly in a
kettle. Make bag about inches square
and ill it with the dry sand, sew up the
opening carefully, (this bag should be
hanneD then cover with cotton or linen,
this will prevent the sand from coming
out, and If you put the linen or cotton ON
you can heat the bag quickly by putting it
in the oven or on the stove. After you use
1t once you wont try to heat a persons
feet or hands with bottles or bricks. The
sand holds the heat a long time, and the
bag can be tucked up to persons back
without hurting them. 1t is a good plan
to make 2 or three Of them, and keep them
on hand ready to use at any time.
