First a Mole,
Then Cancer.

Probably no disease carries such ter
ror in its path as Cancer-and we'll
may this dreadful affection be regarded
with horror. In an alarming manner,
it slowly but surely preys upon the
life's blood, bearing the victim nearer
the grave day by day. Beyond the use
of the knife the physician is powerless,
and too much cannot be said against
the folly of resorting to the knife for
cure of this terrible disease. Cam
Ger is in the blood, hence it is apparent
to all that no relief can be expected
from an operation. In ninety-nine cases
out of hundred the cancer promptly
returns, if not in the same place, in
the same locality, and is far more ma
1ignant than before. The same is true
of attempts to remove the cancer by
means of caustic plasters, ETC., and all
who have had this treatment claim
that death cannot be more painful.
But there is a cure for cancer-one
which gets at the seat of the disease,
and removes its cause. s. S. S. is the
only real blood remedy, and cures can

One of the well-known residents of
Macon, Ca, is Mr.. III. Powers, the con-
tractor and builder, who lives at SIS
Ross street. For twenty years Mr..
Powers has suffered intensely from a
cancer on his face, which was treated
constantly, but grew worse all the
while. He sought the best medical
skill in vain, and could see no hope of
ever being cured.
On June p, 1896, he writes: "Twenty
years ago, while being shaved, small
