Look Out
For Cancer /!

Few people are born entirely free from
blood faint. This is often very slight or
remote, and sometimes may not develop
ut all in one generation, but breaks out
in serious disease later,
Cancer, the most dreadful of all dis,
eases, is often the result OF some blood
faint inherited from generations back.
II often appears as a mege mole or in
significant piinple. which later develops
into an alarming condition, No one
knows but that he may be subject to an
inherited impurity in the blood, nor can
he tell whether or not this may some
day crop ont in the form OF destructive
cancer. It is, therefore, important that
any little sore or scratch, which does
not readily heal, be given prompt atten-
ton, or serious condition may result,
Mr., Robert Smediey, of Ocala, Fla,
was the victim of a malignant cancer,
which first appeared in the manner
above described. He writes:
"At FIRST paid no attention to the
little blotches on my face, thinking they
would soon pass away. Before long,
however, they became sore, aud soon

The alarming increase in the number
of deaths which occur as the result Of a
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and strong sentiment against
such methods of treatment is fast de-
veloping among the most intelligent
classes. II seems that in almost every
case where the doctors treatment Is

a blood disease; the destructive cancer
cells are in the blood, and cannot be

As the disease must be forced from the
blood, it is only reasonable TO rely upon
a real blood remedy for a cure, one
which goes direct TO the cause of the
trouble and removes it.
