A Thing Worth KNOWING.

No need of cutting off woman s
breast or = mans cheek or nose in a
vain attempt to cure cancer. No use
of applying burning plasters to the
flesh and tortnring those already weak

tain cure. The most horrible forms
of cancer of the face, breast, womb.

treated by the application of various
