Brann'S Lecture on Man.

The place to take the true measure
of man is not a market place or
amen corner, nor in the field or forum,
but at his own fireside. There he lays
aside his mask and you may learn
whether he is an ape or an angel, king
or cur, hero or humbug. | do not
care copper what the world says of
him, whether it crowns him with glory
or pelts him with bad eggs. care not
what his religion may be. If his babies
dread his coming home and his better
half swallows her heart every time she
has to ask him for five dollar bill, he
is fraud of the first water, even though
he prays night and morning until he
shakes the eternal hills. But if the
children run to the front gate to meet
him and loves own sunshine illumi-
mates the face of his wife when she
hears his footsteps, you may take it
for granted he is pure gold, his home
is heaven and the humbug never gets
that near the throne of God. He may
be rank atheist and a red flag an
archist, mormon and a mugwump, he
may buy votes, bet on elections; he
may deal from the bottom and drink
beer until he can't tell silver dollar
from circular saw, and still be inf
nitely better than the man that is
suavity, but who makes his home a
hell; who vents OIL the head of his
helpless wife and children the lima
ture he would like to inflict on his fell
bowman, but dare not. | can forgive
much in that fellow mortal who would
rather make men swear than women
weep, would rather have the hate of the
world than the contempt of his wife,
who had rather call anger to the face
of king than fear to the face of a
child.

Great Britain, surprised some Of his

ring to himself as an agriculturist, says
a London newspaper. 1t is not generally
known, even In England, that Lord
Rosebery, statesman, author, sports
man, Is also farmer. His farm Is at
Mentmore, on the splendid estate
which came to him on his marriage. 1t
Is conducted on the highest scientific
principles and is one Of the first model
fruit farms in England. Large Quanti-
ties of fruit come from Mentmore to
the London markets. Lord Rosebery
has also a dairy farm on the Mentmore
estate. At Dalmeny his association
with the world of industry Is in the
form Of shale mines lying on remote
corner Of his estate. Now and again
the wind brings the smoke and smell
of the mines up to the mansion, and II
was this which provoked a visitor to
remark on the nuisance of having such
things so close by.

AS you value your life,
Avoid the surgeons knife

Other troubles of a cancerous ma
ture, frequently appear in the form of
a small pimple on the service. While
there are many ways in which cancers
appear in their small beginnings, still
there is verv little difference in them
when they have assumed the malig-
nant form. Cancer troubles rarely
ever appear in persons until they have
past middle age, though they do some
times appear on young people; but
this is an exception to the rule. 1t is
amazing to know how rapidly these
deadly troubles are increasing in the

ABOUT CANCERS.

Can you cure cancers?" is ques-
ton frequently asked me. 1t depends
altogether on what you mean by the
term cancer. If you mean an old, ma
lignant, eating sore, with an offensive
odor, where the blood has taken up
the poisonous matter, and the patient
has become respondent and droopy
from the constant drainage upon his
system; if this is what you mean by
the term cancer, am free to confess
that | nor any other living man can
cure it. You may approach individu-
ais today, who are being swept from
the earth by this loathsome disease
which has gone beyond the reach of all
remedies and they will relate to you
the sad story of the beginning of
their troubles. In many instances
they first appear in the form of a
small scale or scab, frequently accom-
panied by slight itching or burning
sensation, and the patient thinks so
little of it that he is offended if you
tell him he has cancer trouble. Often
the small scale or scab will shed only
to return again, and finally inflam-
nation sets in and the dread disease
begins to do it's deadly work, when the
patient seeks the advice of his physi-
clan, which it is right he should do.
God bless the doctors! Many of them
are my friends and friendly to my
treatment. Heaven forbid that
should ever say or write anything to
cast shadow across the path of my
family physician for he is next in con-
fidence to my pastor, and | feel that
l and several members of my family
owe our lives to his skill. But it is a
fact conceded by many of our medical
doctors, that, as rule, they do not
cure cancer troubles. Often when the
patient seeks the physicians advice he
is advised to ''let it alone" don't
bother it," ETC. But as to whether Or
not have remedy for cancer trou-
bles, | am willing for the hundreds
who had the trouble and are now liv-
ing with the scars on them, to testify.
have no other proof to offer as to
the truth of my statement. Many of
these troubles that l have treated and
cured, had their origin in moles, eth
er red, brown or black. "It's nothing
but MOLE" you say. While that is
true, to my personal knowledge, many
are in their graves today as result of
cancer, who once said the same
thing: Its nothing but mole" All
moles do not terminate in cancers,
but | know whereof | speak when |
say that many of them do. Another
type of cancer first appears in the
form of small tumor beneath the
surface of the skin and the patient
thinks little of it, but finally, when
rapid growth sets in, he becomes
alarmed and seeks the surgeons knife,
which only adds fnel to the flame.
My advice to all who have cancer trou-
