Sufferers from this horrible u1alady
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 IL the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance-or g swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part Of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perna-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the b1ood-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
