OF the negotiations, probably, in the line OF
mixed arbitration and negotiations suggested

of the defendants. At this trial, which took
place on December 1S last, the Reuter- COM

the Judge that the damages should be as

Cancer
Can be Cured.

It is very often that the most insig-
nifcant symptoms are forerunners OF
the most violent disease. There is
not more destructive disease than
Cancer, and in a majority OF cases it
is first indicated by very small PIN
pie or sore, TO which no attention IS
attracted, until it before long develops
into the most alarming conditions.
Here is another case where the first
symptoms of a most violent Cancer
were too small to receive much notice
until the disease had fully developed.
Mrs. Laura e. Minis has resided at
Dawson, Georgia, for years, and is
well known throughout the adjoining
country. In 4 recent letter she tells
of wonderful case.
She says: "A small pinple of a
strawberry color appeared on my
cheek; 1t soon changed to purple, and
began to grow rapidly, notwithstand-
ing all efforts TO check it, until 1t was
the size of a partridge egg. My eye
became terribly inhamed, and was so
swollen, that for quite while l could
not see. The doctors said l had Can

GER of the most malignant type, and
after exhausting their efforts without
doing me any good, they gave up the
case as hopeless. When informed that
my father had died from the same
disease, they said must die, as hered-
itary Cancer was incurable. l was
terribly reduced in health, and felt as
if my life was wasting away.
AT this crisis, was advised by a
friend to try S. S. S., and in a short
while the Cancer seemed more in
famed than before. l was informed
that was favorable, however, as the
medicine acts by forcing out the
poison through the pores OF the skin.
"Before long the Cancer began TO
discharge and continued TO do so Tor
three months, then 1t began to heal.
l continued the medicine a while
longer, until the Cancer disap-
peared entirely, and I enjoyed better
health than ever before. This has
been several years ago and there has
not been a sign of return OF the
disease"
Cancer is becoming alarrningly
prevalent, and manifests itself IN
such a variety OF forms, that any
sore or scab, 1t matters not how small,
which does not readily heal mp and
disappear may we'll be regarded with
suspicion.
The fact that s. S. S. guaranteed
purely reoetdbie) cures hereditary Can
Ger, which Is considered incurable,
places it. without an equal as
sure cure TOR all manner of real blood
diseases, such as Scrofula, Eczema,
Contagious Blood Poison, or any other
form Of bad blood. Our treatise on
