MRS. LAURA II. MINIS.

Ger OF the most malignant type, and
after exhaustinE 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, az hered-
itary Cancer was iucurablc. | was
terribly reduced in health, and felt as
If my life was wasting away.
" At this crisis, / was advised by n
friend to try S. $. S., and in a short
while the Cancer seemed more in
famed than before. was informed
that was favorable, however, as tho
medicine acts by forcing out the
poison through the pores of the skin.
"Before long the Cancer began To
discharge and continued 20 do SO for
three months; then IL began TO heal.
/ continued the medicine q while
longer, until the Cancer disap-
peared entirely, and / enjoyed better
health than ever before. This has
been several years ago and there has
not been sign of a return of the
disease"
Cancer Ia becoming alarminpiy
prevalent, and manifests itself in
such a variety Of forms, that any
sore or scab, il matters not how small,
which does not readily heal up and
disappear may well be regarded with
suspicion.

Cancer
Can be Cured.

IL Is very often that the most insig.
niicant symptoms are forerunncrs OF
the most violent disease. There is
not more dcstr uctivc disease than
Cancer, and in n majority OF cases il
IL first Indicated by very small piIn-
pie or sore, to which no attention il
attracted, until IL before long develops
into the most alarming conditions.
Here is another case where the first
symptoms OF most violent Cancer
were too small TO receive much notice
until the disease had fully developed.
Mrs. Laura IL. Minis has resided at
Smithville, Georgia, for years, andis
well known throughout the ad diolnlng
country. In n recent letter she tells
of wonderful case.
She says: A small pimplc Of
strawberry color appeared on my
cheek; IL soon changed TO purple, and
began TO grow rapidly, notwithstand-

the size of partridge egg. My eye
became terribly inilamed, and was so
swollen, that for quite n while l could
not see. The doctors said l had Cam
