rers of that hussling town, is and for many
years has been a deacon of the Baptist
church therein. Diligent in season and on,
of season. he has prOspered financially
while sustaining himself as pillar of the
church. Yet who can wholly escape
trouble, care and suffering? Secure
from material and spiritual affection,
the deacon found himself the prey to a
physical disease, one of the most horrible
and repulsiye incident TO humanity. Can.
Ger developed itself; but, after year Of
suffering, a painful surgical operation re-
moved the malignant growth. and, for a
lime, the disease apparently ceased its
ravages. The faint, however, remained
in the system; and in a few years. four
separate cancers appearing upon his face,
the last state of that man was worse than
the first. The cancer rapidly increasing in
malignity, the deacon Feeling that even
another application Of the surgeons knife
would be of no avail, so desperate was his
condition., fully apprehended that, after a
few months Of suffering, death must claim
him as victim. Thi. seemed the more
certain, as his mother and grandmother had
died of cancer.
Feeling it duty to leave no means I'M
tried for protracting his existence, and hav-
ing faith in the general curative powers Of
Rodolfs New Medical Discovery though
skepticaI concerning its application to his
own case, he concluded to give it a trial.
After taking six bottles, he writes to the
proprietors A. follows:

cilious tone that would have nettled Il
craven image into anger, uttered tile
single mandatory word, "Neckties!''
and then drew back his head as if the
clerk was entirely beneath his notice.
The top-lofty air aggravated the sales
