The
Cruel Knife!

The alarming increase in the number
of deaths which occur as the result of
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and a strong sentiment
against such methods of treatment is
fast developing among the most intelii
gent classes. It seems that In almost
every case for which the doctors treat
ment is unsuccessful, the learned physi-
clans decide at once that an operation
must be performed, and the keen blade
of the surgeon is recklessly resorted to.
Doctors are human, and of course are
liable to make mistakes, but their mis-
takes are too fatal to be INDUCED in
promiscuously, and as so many lives are
sacrificed in this manner, it is but natural
for the public to believe that half the
operations are unnecessary, besides be-
ing a fearful risk to human life, even if
successful.
It is positive fact, however, that all
operations are not necessary, and that
majority of them are absolutely under
taken without the slightest chance of
success. The doctors have never been
able to cure blood disease, and a sur
gica1 operation is their only method of
treating deep-seated cases, such as can
Ger and scrofulous affections. Aside
from the great danger, an operation
never did and never will cure cancer, as
the disease never fails to return. Can
Ger is in the blood, and common sense
teaches anyone that no disease can f-s

MINING IN CALIFORNIA.
HOW THE GREAT INDUSTRY
HAS BEEN DEVELOPED.
Where the Great Bullion Produc-
ers Are Located and How
They Are Worked.

The following article from the state
Board of Trade souvenir book is from
the pen Of Charles E. Uren OF Nevada
County:
Probably no industry is less known TO
the general public than mining, and
inquiries concerning it's particular To-
cation within the State, and its status
as a general rule, meet with misleading
and erroneous answers from those uh-
familiar with it.
The great mineral wealth OF CallIor-
MIA is known incidentally throughout
the world, but details such as would
be of an advantage to those visiting the
State, either for the purpose OF settle
ment or for pleasure, are meager at the
best.
Mining IS the leading industry in
most of our northern counties, and later
developments include many of the
southern counties among the mineral
producing sections of the State. The
leading mining counties, according to
their record as bullion producers, are,
Nevada, Amador, El Dorado, Placer,
Calaveras, Tuolumne, Butte, Shasta,
Trinity, Slslliyou, Mariposa, Lake, Kern
and Fresno.
The inception of gold-mining in Cal
ifornia was at Coloma, in 1913. Sub
sequently the shallow, or ravine and
river, placers We're worked throughout
the entire gold-producing counties, and
exhausted. Mining of this character
finally resulted in the discovery of
larger gravel deposits, situated in close
proximity to the ravines, known as
bench or bar claims. The extreme
depth of gravel deposits of this charac-
ter rendered it desirable to devise

Here is a case where the pain inflicted
on a six-year-old boy was especially
cruel, and after undergoing the tortures
produced by the surgeons knife he rap
idly grew worse. Mr.. J. n. Murdoch,
the father of the boy, residing at 27o
Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes
''When my son, Will, was six years
old, a small sore appeared on his lip,
which did not yield tothe usual treat
ment, but before long began to grow. II
gave him a great deal of pain, and con-
tinued to spread. He was treated by
several good doctors, who said he had
cancer, and advised that an operation
was necessary.
"After much reluctance, weconsented,
and they cut down to the jaw bone,
which they scraped. The operation was
a severe one, but / thought it was the
only hope for my boy. Before a great
while the cancer returned, and began to
grow rapidly. We gave him many rem
edies without relief, and finally upon the
advice of a friend, decided to try S.S.S.
(Swift's Speci6c), and with the second
bottle he began to improve. After twenty
bottles had been taken, the cancer dis
appeared entirely and he was cured
The cure was a permanent one, Tor he is
now seventeen years old, and has never
had a sign of the dreadful disease to re-

which cures deep-seated obstinate oIood
