CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible ma1ady
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 APP
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-
nently 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 all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows !:
A small pimple came on my jaw about an inch
below the ear on the left side of my face. 1t gave

DIED.,

DR.. VIM. II. Toomey, formerly
of Hoisington, died at the home
of G. W. Nimocks in this city
quite unexpectedly last Wednes-
day evening, at s o'clock. DR.
Toomey had been in failing health
since early last spring, having
contracted the grippe which set
tied on his lungs. He spent the
winter in the South hoping for
relief but grew steadily worse.
His mother, Mrs. Milton Toomey
was with him at the last and had
made arrangements to take him
home next Monday. A hemor-
rhage Wednesday evening was
the cause of the end coming
sooner than expected, and thus
a young and useful life is ended
just when there seemed to be the
most to live for. DR.. TOomey
was successful in his practice and
was well liked in Hoisinglon and
through the country and has
many friends who sympathize
with the breaved family and
friends in his untimely death. He
was % years of age. The re-
mains were shipped this Friday
morning, to Americas, the home
of his parents, for burial.

IT Is EASY TO DIE.


1t is easy to die, the physicians
say, dead easy, and it does not
hurt. Nor is it a fearful thing for
the man or woman doing it. On
the contrary, it is the most
natural of all things except birth.
OF these two episodes, birth and
death, birth has all the pain, as
those who are born declare by
weeping Those who die never
weep. So the Persian proverb
hath it: 'You wept when you
came into the world, while those
about you laughed; SO live that
when you die you smile and those
about you weep" The Persians
were a great people in the days
of this proverb, and, speaking
generally, the world has lived up
to that ancient Injunction. 1t
could not live any other way.
Physicians, nurses in hospitals
and clergymen are by more often
than other folk when persons die,
and they testify to the painless
ness of death, and even to it's
restfulness. One physician OF
experience says that, excepting
what newspapers call
casualties, death comes easily
and without terror.
81 knew a man in a western
town." he said, "whO was haunt
ed with the fear of death. He
could not throw off the feeling
of dread, do what he would He
became almost a mOnOmanlac
on the subject, and without
apparent reason, for he was
hearty and strong, had a good
wife, a good appetite and pros
porous business. [ knew him for
years, and until eighteen months
ago he was all right except for
this terror of death.
Finally, and most unexpectedly,
he was taken i'll and died. When
he was first down he was in a
fearful state of mind, but as he
grew worse the terror left, and
when he knew there was practical
ly no hope for him he was quiet
enough, didn't worry, but put
his affairs in order, said goodby
and went to sleep far more
peacefully than he had done
when he was well.
GA man is not exceedingly i'll
SO long as he is afraid he is going
to die 1t is when he comes to
the don't care stage that the
end is near. The sicker he is
the less he cares. When his desire
to live weakens there is not much
for the physician to do unless he
can stimulate him to mental
effort. The dying man is tired
and would rest; it is more difficult
to stimulate him mentally than
it is to keep a sleepy child awake
Sometimes the shock of surprise
will do it.-New York Press.
