The immediate result of such legisla-

After the FIRST shock, the effects of

IT rs pIriable to observe how the edi-
tor OF the St. Cloud Times founders
about tor a reasonable excuse for its
! charge of base on the silver question

1t was noticea BILE III the campaign two

descended to abuse or personal villihca-

different was it with many of those who
addressed the republican convention on
Thursday. Two years ago he was an
ideal candidate, gentleman par excel
ance. Yesterday he was scored and
abused by nearly every Sixth district
speaker, and why? Because an honest
conviction had taken him out OF the
republican party. With these delegates
party is above country-that is the dit
erence between them and Mr.. Towne.
During the campaign two years ago,
Mr.. Towne was not so violently abused
by anyone in the democratic party as
by the Times. sHe was an A. p, A. and

1t gives him the best, or the worst, it

Mr., Towne now entertains and advo-

A Small Spot May Be Cancer!

Ii Is very often that the most insig- nificant 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 scab or sore, to which no attention is at tracted, until it before long develops into most alarming conditions.
 Here is such a case, where the first symptoms were too small to be noticed for quite time. Mir. J. B. Arnold be- longs to one of the oldest and best families of Carolina; he is well and favorably known throughout South Carolina, and has resided at Green wood for years. Cancer is hereditary iTi the family, an aunt on each side having died from it. Several years ago small spot. like a tiny ulcer. about the size of bird-shot, appeared just under his left eye, above the cheek bone. He thought nothing of it for some time, until it began to grow rap idly, spre ading all the time, and de seroying the flesh as it went.
Tombstone epitaph., 1896-08-09

He says: Tt gave ne a great de4l of pain-those sharp. darting pains so characteristic of cancer. took many so-called blood medicines. without the slightest effect. and sought the help of the best physicians, but they did me no good; one told me, however, that was incurable and had better make my arrangements accordingly. I was on the verge of despair. when Dr. J. L. Miller. one of the leading druggists of my town, recommended $. s. $. The first bottle seemed to make me worse, but Dr. Miller told me this was a fav- orable symptom. and by the time had taken the second bottle, the cancer be- gan to discharge, and as l continued this became quite profuse. and kept up for some time. Then it gradually grew less. and after awhile ceased ai- together, and to my delight the place dried up and is cured entirely, so that nothing remains but a scar.
 II consider $. 5. S. boon to suffer- ing humanity. and feel that owe my life to it, as the cancer had made such progress when began ;. $. $. that my death was declared to be only matter of very short time. The cure ef- fected in my case is considered by every one most remarkable, and clearly demonstrates the fact that s. s. $. does cure hereditary cancer. No one who is afflicted with this dreadful dis ease can afford to fail to give s. S. $. a trial, for that is all that is necessary to convince them of its virtues."
 The above is but one of many re- markable cures being daily made by $. s. s. Cancer is becoming alarm ingly prevalent, and manifests itself In such a variety of forms, that any sore or scab, it matters not how small, which does not readily heal up and disappear, may well be regarded with suspicion.
 The fact that s. s. S. cures heredi- tary cancer, which is considered in- curable, places it without an equal as a sure cure for all manner of real blood diseases, such as Scrofu1a, Ec- zema, Contagious Blood Poison, or any other form of bad blood.-AtloAts Consultation.
