CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible Inalady
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 q swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and per1na.
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
IF it driven out This S. S. S. does, and
S 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 pimplc came on my jaw bout n inch
below the on the left side OF my face. 1t gave
