To submit to an operation, is to volun-
tarily endangcr ones life, without the
slightest hope of being benefited.
Mr.. William Walpole, is a wealthy
planter residing at Wa1shtown, South
Dakota, aud is we'll known all over the
state. Under date of January goth, 1896,
he writes; "About three years ago, there
came under my left eye a little blotch
about tile size Of a small pea. 1t grew
rapidly, and for the past year, shooting
pains ran in every direction. became
alarmed and consulted a good doctor,
who pronounced it cancer, aud said that
it must be cut out. This / would not
consent to, having little faith in the in
discriminate use of the knife, though /
was alarmed at my condition. Reading
of the 9nanY cures made by S.S.S., /
determined to give that medicine trial.
and after had taken it few days, the
cancer became irritatcd and began to dis
charge. This Acknowledgement, leaving
a small scab, which finally dropped off,
and only a healthy looking little
scar remained to mark the place where
the destroyer had held full sway Words

Of leading other sufferers to a cure.
Cancer is rot incurable, but the only
means OF curing it is to rid the blood OF
the disease. S.S.S. never fails to do
this, but it is the only remedy to be re-
lied upon. 1t is guaranteed purely
vegetable, and cures Cancer, Scrofula,
Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism and any
other disease of the blood. Other blood
diseases often develop into such alaru-
ing conditions that the doctors think an
operation necessary, Scrofula, for in
stance, often diseases tic glands of the
neck to such ala extent that an operation
is looked upon as absolutely the only
relief This is also a grave error, as the

Too
Much knife F.!

The use Of the surgeons knife is be-
! coming so general, resulting fatally
I i'll such large number of cases, as to
/ occasion general alarm. The press al
most daily announces the death OF some
unfortunate whose system could not
withstand the shock Of an operation,
and whose life was cruelty sacrificed to
the keen blade of the surgeon.
OF course, In some instances an
operation is necessary, and is the
only means of saving life, but such cases
are exceedingly rare. So many deaths
occur under these conditions, however,
that the public is beginning TO realize
that the doctors are too hasty in resort
ing to the knife, and if such q state of
affairs continues, there viii before long
be a general uprising against such meas
ures, It is but reasonable to believe
that the majority of operations are
unnecessary, but when the fatal mistake
is discovered too late, only the doctors
ever know of their error, and though q
precious life is given up, the public is
assured that death would have resulted
in spite of the operation, and who is
ever the wiser
The folly of resorting to the knife In
cases of cancer, is demonstrated every
time it is undertaken. The disease is
in the blood and the cancer or sore is
but the outward manifestation of a
terrible condition of the entire circu1a-
ton. To cut out this sore, therefore,
does not in any way effect the disease,
and it can easily be seen that the only
correct treatment is to get at the seat of
the disease, and purify the blood; the
sore will then heal up naturally. SIS.
is the most powerful blood remedy made,
and ia the only cure for cancer.

WOMAN.

Flowers spring to blossom where she
walks
The careful ways of duty
Our hard, stiff lines of life with her
Are flowing curves Of beauty,
Our homes are cheering for her sake,
Our dooryards brighter blooming,
And all about the social air
Is sweeter for her coming
Unspoken homilies of peace
Her daily life is preaching;
The still refreshment of the dew
Is her unconscious teaching,
And never tenderer hand than hers
Unknits the brow Of ailing;
Her garments to the sick mans egr
Have music in their trailing
Her presence lends its warmth and health
To all who come before it,
Ii woman lost us Eden, such
AS she alone restore it.

FAREWELL OF THE LEAVES.

Said the leaves upon the branches
One sunny autumn day;
We've finished all our work, and now
We can no longer stay;
So our gowns Of red and yellow,
And our cloaks of sober brown,
Must BE worn before the frost comes
And we go rustliug down
We've had a jolly summer.
With the birds chat built their nests
Beneath our green umbrellas,
And the squirrels that were our guests
But we cannot wait for winter,
And we do not care for snow;
When we hear the wild northwesters
We loose our clasp and go.
