f,rn,e. and he told the following story IN
November, 1902, Once he had two good
logs. Then tumor came upon one
Small of course at first, like any case OF
bad blood, but it grew and aohed, did
r4,ix tumor, ached and grew until he could
rot follow his team and was always in
great pain. He did not know what to do
to gain relief and all his experiments
went for naught. llut he had mother
cut in his country home and she was 4
readc. and thinker, She wanted to
helo her son. for that tumor WIS sure to
have his life soon She beugh, Brown 5
Sarsaparila.
Here Mr.. Mills, as hc say frankly did
not want to take the medicine. lie did
aot think il would aid him in any way
Blu, his mother had her say and Mr., Mills
began to use it without faith. After a
while the pain grew less the tumor grew
s~ss. Less and less grew each, until there
was no pain. and in a few months there
was no tumor. There was but a sign OF
what had once been an outpour OF bad
hlood-just scar.
Bad blood ma, break out in leg. body

ard like money, has many forms. It's
dangerous and often kills. It's best tc

here are two stories, one oil leg eruNhV"

The first relates to the leg OF MI J"'
