CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malsdy
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 perna-
Tently all the poisonous virus must be
minated from the blood-every vestage
oi 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.

The following is taken from the
Independence Sentinel:
a Nandalia paper springs the
name of Hon. Champ Clark for
Vice-president. While the sug-
gestion will probably receive only
a passing notice, no better man
could be put i'll the vice-presidential
chair than Clark. He is able, fear
less and honest and. in case the Pres
ident should die, the nation would
have a chief executive equal in
force of character to old Andy
jackson. If the Sentinel mistakes
not there are big things in store
for Clark at the hands of Missouri
