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 a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and pernla-

eliminated from the blood-every vestage
of it driven out This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
