- CANCER
9 . CAN BE
A. CURED
TIME PROVES
ALL THINGS
1t has been said and repeated times
without number that cancer was sure
death, If you cut it out, it is sure to
grow again, to say nothing of the great
suffering from the effect. This fact |
know from personal experience and from
many of my unfortunate friends, but
with all that has been said and done,
there is one noble physician who can
cure cancers this know from personal
experience. In the Summer of 1903 my
tongue began as though it were full of
needles and soon the left side of my neck
and face began to swell and was very
sore and painful.
/ went to our family physician, who is
considered one of the best in Northern
New York. He informed me that l had
cancer, affecting not only my tongue,
which was very sore and painful, but
also involved the gland of neck and
throat, and thereby making it absolutely
incurable but seeing in the paper so
many testimonials of patients who had
been cured of cancers and other chronic
diseases seemingly incureable, that had
been cured by DIR. j. w. MERROW, AZ
Church ST., Burlington, VT, decided
that would 90 at once and see him,
although not having much faith. After
a thorough examination, lasting over an
hour with N-Ray and other apparatuses
| had never seen before in any other
doctors office-and l have been in quite
a number-he told me my case was
durable if l would strictly follow direc-
tons. at once placed myself under his
treatment, and after about two weeks
time the soreness and swelling began to
leave my tongue and neck, and inside of
six months my tongue was natural and
so was my neck.
never suffered one particle of pain
while under his treatment, and at the
end of six months he pronounced me
cured. This was nearly two years ago
and from that time until now, have
been in perfect health, so to speak.
give this testimonial freely, without
solicitation, for the benefit of others
who may be suffering from cancer anC
feel doubtful as did in the first place o.
being cured. While at the doctors Office
l met several patients who told me tina
the doctor had cured them or was curing
them of Rheumatism, Bright's Diseas
and Tumors, which goes to strengthen
my faith in DIR. MERROW'S ability
