Do Not Give Up in De-
spair-There is HOpel

For ages it has been thought
that Cancer is incurable, and
those so unfortunate as to have
this dreadful affection have con-
sidered themselves beyond hope of
recovery. The doctors are alb
solutely unable to afford any re-
lief, and the poor sufferer might
well consider himself on the way
to an early grave.
1t is now easy to see why the
doctors have failed to cure Cancer.
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis-
directed. They have made the
mistake of thinking that by cut
ting out the sore or ulcer, known
as Cancer, the disease would be
gotten rid of, and the patient re-
stored to health. But the cruel
knife accomplishes nothing, fol
the Cancer promptly returns, and is
always more virulent than before
1t has been demonstrated, beyond
doubt, that Cancer is a blood disease
and can not be cured by the surgeon,

Several years ago my wife had az
ulcer on her tongue, which, though an

HAYES AND THE FARMER.
How the Latter Got Away With the Ex-
President.

How the Latter Got Away With the Ex-
President.
1t is told of ex-President Ruther-
ford B. Hayes that while attending
school at Kenyon College. he was
in the habit of taking daily walks,
into the country. These trips were
shared by two intimate companions,
who were of a funlOving DISPOSE
ton, which frequently got them into
trouble. On one occasion they more
than met their match at repartee in
an old farmer, whom they met on
the highway. The long white beard
of the farmer gave him apatriarchal
appearance, and while he was APP
prOacbing the students, they ar
ranged to give him jOllying, which
eventually terminated in the dis
cOmfiture of the youths.
One of them dotted his hat with
great reverence and respect as he
said: Good morning, Father Abra,
ham,"
The second saluted the old farmer
and said, Good morning, Father
| Isaac!'
Mr.. Hayes, not to be OutdOne in
affability and politehess, extended
his hand as he said, Good morning
! Father JacOb!n
Ignoring the Outstretched hand o.
Mr.. Hayes, the old farmer replied
"Gentlemen, you are mistaken IL

Isaac nor Jacob, but Saul the son OF
Kish, who was sent out to seek hi
fathers asses, and 10! | have fOunC
