Too
Much Knife

The use of the surgeons knife is be-
coming SO general, resulting fatally
in such a 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 n state OF
affairs continues, there will before long,
be a general uprising against such meas
ures. 1t Is but reasonable TO believe
that the majority of operations are
unnecessary, but when the fatal mistake
is discovered too late, only the doctors
evcr know of their error, and though n
| precious life is given M, the public is
assured that death would have rcGultcd
in spite of the operation, and who is
ever the wiser?
The folly of rcsoiting to the knife in
| cases of cancer, is demonstrated every
time it is undertaken. The disease il
in the blood and the cancer or sore is
but the outward manifestation of n
terrible condition of the entire circula-
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 is the only cure for canccr.
