the. sufferer, will ! say that | win see
your declining years made unhappy ?
No; l will perform an operation | will
not touch a single tissue that is whole
some, but l am going to cut out the
diseased portion and save your life. The
man who does not propose to cut out
the deadly thing Is a quack, not a sur
geon. Don't let the quacking of quacks
deceive YOU"
