The thriving little town Of Dufur IS look
ing its best at the present time. The sur
rounding hills have donned their emerald
mantles; the wild flowers are in full bloom,

inspiring appearance. The farmers are de-
lighted with the promises of abundant
crops the outlook for bountiful harvest

The wonderful success attending DR..
Vanderpool in the treatment of cancer is
CONCLUSIVE evidence that this dread malady
need no longer defy the efforts of the medl-
cal fraternity to eradicate it from the sys-
TEN of those so afflicted. Some may scof
at the idea OF the possibility of cancer being
cured, but there are living witnesses to tes-
tify to the fact. that it can be. At the
present time there are three patients here
under care of Mr.. Vanderpool, the latest
being an elderly man, named Nelson, from
the Yakima country, suffering from large
cancer on his face. Mrs Jenne, of Cottage
Grove, Lane county, is about cured, after
having been given up by other physicians,
and others who have been completely cured
bear cheerful testimony of the remarkable
success which DR.. Vanderpool meets.
