Cancer
Can be Cured.

1t il very often that the most insig-
nificant symptoms are forerunncrs OF
the most violent disease. There is
not more dcstr uctive disease than
Cancer. and in majority of cases it
is first indicated by a very small piri-
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
sym ptoms of most violent Cancer
were too small to receive much notice
until the disease had fully developed.
Mrs. Laura II. Minis has resided at
Smithvilic, Georgia, for years, nndis
we'll known throughout the adjoining
country. In IA recent letter she tells
of wonderful case.
She says: A small pirnple of a
strawberry color appeared on my
check; il soon changed to purple, and
began to grow rapidly, notwithstaud-
ing all efforts to check il. until it was
the size of partridge egg. My eye
became terribly infiancd, and was so
swollen, that for quite while ] could
not see. The doctors said L had Cam

Ger of the most malignant type, and
after exhausting their efforts without
doing me any God, they gave up the
case as hopeless. When informed that
my father had died from the same
disease. they said ! must die, as hered-
itary Cancer was incuraolc. j was
terribly reduced in health, and felt AZ
If my life was was ting away.
" At this crisis, was advised by Il
friend to try s. $. S., and in short
while the Cancer seemed more iu-
famed than before. l was informed
that was favorable, however, as the
medicine acts by forcing out the
poison through the pores of the skin.
Before long the Cancer began to
discharge and continued TO do SO for
three months; then it began to heal.
l continued the medicine while
longer. until the Cancer disap-
pearcd entirely, and | enjoyed better
health than ever before. This has
been several years ago and there has
not been sign OF IL return OF the
disease"
Cancer is becoming alarmingly
prevalent, and manifcsts itself in
such variety of forms, that any
sore or scab, ii matters not how small,
which does not readily heal up and
disappear may well be regarded with
suspicion.
The fact that s. S. S. guaranteed
purely ceoetable) cures hereditary Can
Ger, which is considered incurable,
places il without an equal as a
sure cure for all manner of real blood
diseases, such as Scrofula, Eczema,
Contagious Blood Poison, or any other
form of bad blood. Our treatise on
Cancer and Blood Diseases will be

earth. and this is probably the exact
amount. because 1t Ia probable that all
the oxygen of our atmosphere came
from primeval vegetation. The surely
available coal supply Of England, Scot
land and Wales was estimated by the
Coal Supply Commission Of 1881.
which included Sir ROderick Murchison
and Sir Andrew Ramsay among Its
members, as being 10000. .000, 900 tons.
This ia approximately six-tenths OF a
ton per square meter of area Of Great
Britain. To burn this quantity would
take one and eight-tenths Of n ton of
oxygen. or within two-tenths of n ton
Of the total oxygen Of the atmosphere
resting on each square meter Of Great
Britain. The commission estimated
50. 600, ,OOO. 600 tons more Of coal as prob
ably existing Mt the present In lower
and less easily accessible strata. IT
may, therefore. be considered as almost
quite certain that Great Britain could
not burn all Its own coal with Its own
air, and therefore that the coal OF Great
Britain In considerably In excess Of the
fuel supply of the rest of the world,
reckoned per equal area whether OF
land or sea.
