Here is case where the pam 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.. ]. N. Murdoch,
the father of the boy, residing at 27e
Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes:
"When my son, Will, was six years
old, 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
q 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 q 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 neve.
had 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 ss Cancer, Scrofula,
Eczema, Cata1h, Rheumatism, etc,

Cruel knife! i

The alarming increase IN the nunbei
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 intelll'
gent classes. 1t seems that III almost
every case for which the doctors treat
ment is un uccessful, the learned physl
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 arc
liable to make mistakes, but their mis-
takes are too fatal to be iudulged II
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 !!
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 oi
success. The doctors have never been
able to cure blood disease, and sur
gical operation is their only method o.
treating deep-seated ca es, such as can
Ger and scrofulous affections. Aside
from the great danger, an operation
never did and never will cure cancer, a.
the disease never fails to return. Can
Ger is in the blood, and common sens'
teaches anyone that no disease can b.
cut from the blood.
