Sufferers from this horrible 1nalady
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 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 i'll small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows :
a small pirnp pie came on my jaw bout an inch
below the ear on the left side Of my face 1t gave

City VIII Do the Royal
1t is rarely a city has the distinc-
ton of entertaining the head of the
nation and it's governor at the same
time, and doubtless Rock Island peo-

tee that he will be here himself.

staff will not come unless special
train is provided for their trans

minute trip will be made through the
