The
Cruel Knife!

The alarming increase in the number
of deaths which occur as the result of a
surgical operation IS attracting general
attention, ana a strong sentiment
against such methods CT treatment is
fast developing among the most intelli-
gent classes. 1t 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 reck1essly resorted to.
Doctors are human, and of course are
liable to make mistakes, but their mis-
takes are too fatal to be INDUCED in
promlsCuously, 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 fearful risk to human life, even if
successful.
1t is a positive fact, however, that all
operations are not necessary, and that a
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 cam
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 be
cut from the blood.

Big WarerOOms Containing Chairs I'm
Hundreds and No Two Alike.
With the great development of the
furniture industry in this country
there has come about in recent years a
subdivision of it into branches for
greater facility and economy of pro
duction. Thus there are manufacture
ers who confine themselves to special
lines of goods, as desks, tables, chairs,
be further subdivided, manufacturers
Gevoting themselves to particular kinds
or grades. OF chairs, for example, there
are hundreds of manufactures in the
United States, many of them large es-
adjustments. The present total pro
duction of chairs in this country Is
about SO, 100000 annually, says the New
York Sun.
While the manufacture of chairs is
much subdivided, there may be in
chairs of one kind, that is, of the same
materials and made by the same
processes Of manufacture, many styles,
and there are some establishments that
produce chairs in great variety. There
are single concerns that make as many
as 500 different styles, and so in the
wholesale furniture district of the city
there may be found large warerooms
filed with chairs alone, the floor COW
el Ell with them in long lines and the
walls hung with them-hundreds OF
chairs, no two alike.

reserve force for al emergencies; we
know that she can do her ordinary

hold out well in the race of life. Bur it
IS much easier to estimate the amount
of strength required in a bridge for D

There is a tendency Of our time to push

My suggestion to women whose reserve
TO E is not great is to husband it we'll
accumulate it by right food. abundant
sTa nd . -
Guard it carefully, instead of drawing
upon it daily, as do many who become
feverishly anxious to accomplish some
undertaking.
The successful athlete carefully
measures his resources, ard if his race
is to be long one nurses his reserve
powers. If he engages in a race he does
not overeXert himself at the start, but
so regulates his expenditure Of energy
that he shall have an abundance left for
the finish. That is precisely what wom-
en- should do who ara engaged in any
hard work. Every woman, high or low,
who labors daily is engaged in a long
race, which is in part a test of endur-
ance. She should so measure her pace
as to have always at command some
reserve power. She should not under
take to do more than she can without
undue fatigue. and she will be able to do
more, for a short time, at least, when
occasion requires the extra exertion.
Just as we see the swift runner ex-
hausted before the race is half over and
beaten by his slower butmore enduring
competitor, SO we see women overtax-
ing their powers when young and grow
ing old and feeblewhile young in years
1t Is the reserved power that tells in
prolonged contests-the reserve power
of muscle, Of spirit--for she who ex-
hausts herself In any kind Of effort is
unable to Withstand the slightest added
burden and succumbs TO a force she
might easily have resisted if she had
kept her resources we'll in hand.
IN these days, when women are en-
tering almost every occupation in com
petition with men, often driving them
from their work because their services
cost less, it is important that women
guard and protect themselves by large
accumulation of reserve power.-N. Y.

Here is case where the pain inflicted
IN a sixsyear-old boy was especially
cruel, and after undergoing the fortunes
produced by the surgeons knife he rap
idly grew worse. Mr.. J. N. Murdoch,
the father of the boy, residing at 279
Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes
"When my son, Will, was six years
old, a small sore appeared on his lip.
which did not yield to the usual treat
ment, but before long began to grow. II
gave him 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, we consented,
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 great
while the cancer returned, and began to
grow rapidly. We gave him many rem
edies without relief, and finally upon the
advice of friend, decided to try S.S.S.
(Swift's Specifc), 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 permanent one, for he is
now seventeen years old, and has never
had a sign of the dreadful disease to re-
turn"
S.S.S. is far ahead of all other blood
remedies, because it is the only one
which cures deep-seated obstinate blood
diseases such as Cancer, Scrofula,
Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism, etc.
It is the only blood remedy guaranteed
