some advertisements about cancers.
He had also been getting hold of some
work done along this line by DR.. Cue
of our city, and so he dropped in on
him to chat little about this dreaded
disease. Cue told me more in few
minutes than l ever knew about can
GERS. They are not such a terribly
dreadful thing after all. The secret
of the whole matter is getting after
the thing early in its life, and then
if YOU have it, something desperate
must be done instanter. Then besides,
It is not such a desperate thing, either,
that ought to be done. There is the

really won't hurt very much, and by
the application of local anesthesia,
the hurt is really not so painful There
is SO much horrid looking picture ad-
yertising in these latter days, so much
scary stuff printed, that cancer pa
tient is half out of his wits from the
yery beginning. The scripture says
that just as a man thinks, he is going
to be, as sure as the world. That
means in this connection, that if a
man has wart on his cheek, and
somebody makes him think it is can
Ger, he will be just as uneasy as if it
were a real cancer, and he will pay
somebody just as much for taking the
wart off, as he would pay for removing
a real cancer. A barber could take
the wart off for $l75, but if the victim
were made to believe it was a can
Ger, he would plank down the price
of two fat steers to have it taken off
The Hired Man doesn't know vary
much about cancers, or anything else,
but | submit that it is poor policy to
secretly entertain the belief that your
sore is a cancer, and go to correspond
ing and spending money with some
body away off whom you do not know,
when you have physicians within two
hours drive, or even within four city
blocks, who have seen many and who
can handle them in their earlier stages
with perfect assurance. There are a
good many other sores that one can
have and not have cancer either OF
course, going back of all that has been
said here, and back of all that any
earthly physician can do for cancer or
anything else, the Hired Man does not
want anybody to suppose that no good
comes from fervent effectual prayers
even in the case of cancer, for our God
knows all about cancers, too.
A few years since the surgeons OF
the world had clinic month in one
of the cities of the old world, and
more than thousand of the best sur.
geons were there. One man by name
Of Murphey did the heavy work

would sometimes be four patients

was all the time the great surgeon
wanted. For hours this procession
of afflicted bodies passed this man
made judgment day. Murphey talkec
as little as was necessary, for he hat

would say. In every case he prayed
saying something like the following
ITO Thee, O God, | now turn again

In the next 40 minutes his soft han
would grapple some vital organ with

The other day while the Orego
Trail performances were going on,
