Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap.
pearance-or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma
uently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
of it driven out This S. S. S. does, and
IS the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this
When a. the poison las been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease ncvet returns.

PLENTY OF MONEY AVAILABLE TO MEET

if there would be an extra session of Congress,
said:
That is for the President to say, but hardly
any occasion for it yet. The first thing to
do is learn who is responsible for this trou-
bic. Is it China the irresponsible mob ele-
ment Of China? When that is settled we may

The present law limits the number OF troops
10 one hundred thousand. and without action
by Congress there could be no increase of the
Army beyond that force. But in case OF
emergency there are provisions Of the statutes
which give the President means of raising FUNDS
TO meet the necessities of the case. There is

clearer than that the ti-foreign confederation
in China is rapidly permeatfng even hitherto
auescent provinces, and though It is recognized
that every day which leaves Peking In the power

washington, July 16.-The reverse suffered by
the allied forces at Tien-Tsin on Friday was
serious one, but the reports thus far received
do not by any means appear to justify the de-
gree of excitement, versing on a panic which

according to the dispatches a force Of 1000
men with few field guns assailed an enemy
numbering 10000 or more. covered by fntrench-

great surprise that the weaker force was finally
repused with heavy loss. Neither would it be
surprising II il were found that the defenders
Of the walled city suffered smaller losses than
the attacking force.
Admiral Remey's statement OF the casualties
of the allied forces foots UP 253. but it is CON
fessedly incomplete for he adds that the allied
attack repulsed with great loss
The fact that the little army of foreigners held

endurance OF the men who composed It, The
result a warning which might well be
needed. and probably will be. OF the futilIty OF
attempting further aggressive military opera
tions by the allies in Northern China with
force greatly inferior in numbers TO the enemy.
In this the attempt was probably neCes-
sary a defensive movement in effect. by
reason of the fact that the enemy being greatly
superior in artillery. had rendered the position
of the allies virtually untanable But there Is
nothing yet to indicate that the repulse was an
rretrievabe disaster. that the result of the
days operations did not leave the allies In at
least strong position a they had before
occupied, and nothing to indicate the necessity
of falling back on Taku unless the enemy should
receive heavy reinforcements.
