perb skill. They require the deep
est. clearest, keenest possible insight
into the mysteries of human func-
tions, shrouded as they often are in
darkness, where the ordinary medi-
cal eye sees but little and guesses at
facts.
1 have given my whole time and at
tention to these maladies of Men.
l have studied them earnestly and
persistently-their origin, their eff
feet upon the human body, and have
developed for their cure various
forms of treatment which have been
uniformly successful in cases where
success before was deemed impossi-
bic by other doctors. Out of the vast
multitude during the past ten years
not single failure nor an unpleas-
ant result has been reported.
What / have done for others can
do for you. When L tell you this in
all sincerity, and propose to prove it
by the best citizens of Rock Island,
among whom are many of my cured
patients, have you the right to doubt
my statements without first invcsti-
eating their truth? Is not your
iiS'iiih anu AuLuie- hdpplHesS worthy
your time and trouble to look into
a system of treatment that has posi-
lively cured to stay cured thousands
of cases which have resisted so
many doctors and other remedies?
When L offer you free of charge a
thorough personal examination, to-
gether with an honest and scientific
opinion of your case, will you ignore
the opportunity and thus continue to
suffer and sink?

AWFUL ULCERS
Facial Sores and Blotches
a Sign of Blood Disease.
Such Trio BILE s
Cured by VinoI.

The face that is blotched or covered
with unsightly pimples is not only a
source of modification and annoyance
but is dangerous.
Where such a condition exists there
must be something radically wrong.
When such eruptions become worse
and give place to ulcers the danger is, of
course, enhanced. Ulcers frequently form
first on any of the great vital organs, es-
pecially the stomach.
Won't you, if you suffer from any such
blood impurities give us the opportunity
of telling you how you can get rid of such
ills safely and quickly. Our Vinol will
help you.
This, we firmly believe, and the
reason for our belief is that we have
learned that Vinol in its mission of
rebuilding the body and creating strength
does as much in the way of purifying the
blood as it does in creating new, healthy
flesh tissue. In making the body strong
and healthy it invigorates everyone of the
great vital organs and enables them to
properly perform their work.
Impurities of the blood are thus more
quickly displaced by new health ele-
ments that are taken by the stomach
from the food which by means of Vinol
is fully assimilated.
~ wish to say few words in praise OF
Vinol. For over year 1 was severely
troubled with liberated stomach which
caused me much pain; for three months
/ could not eat any solid food. 1 became
weak, tired and all run down and lost
much flesh. Hearing of the great merit
of Vinol, bought a bottle, and after
giving it a good trial, feel better in
every way, and must give all the praise
to Who'll MARY z. BRYANT, 81 Prescott
Street, Mansfield, Ohio.
Remember our faith In vinol Is SO
strong that we sell II on a guarantee
and will gladly refund to anyone the
cost of the remedy who Is not salts
fled with the results obtained by Its
use. :.

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible na1ady
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 a 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 beginsoftenin small way, the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows !:

The fire department responded to
the alarm and was fighting the flames

The tanks shot into the air like a
rocket to a height of about 300 feet

effect, resembling a gigantic balloon.
