CAN USER
Sufferrr? from this horrible malady
neaily u.ways inherit it ? not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This ucat 11,
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? or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the Ixxly,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood?every vestage
>f it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
s the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like tkis.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and th?
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in & small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows:
A small j impl* came on my jaw about an inch
below the ear on the left side or my face. It gav?
tince. and I should have
forgotten about it had it
not lu gun to in tiame and
itch ; it would bleed a
little, then scab over, but
<fouM not heal. Tlus
continue,1 for some time,
v. hen my jaw began to
swell, becoming very
painful. The Cancer be
ran to eat and spread,
until it was as large as a
half dollar,who 1t heard
of S. S. S. and c- erniin
ed to give it a t tir trial,
r.nd it was iemarkih!e
what a wo 'lerful effect
n 11ini i: */11. i II* > y ucgimiiiJic ; i;ir ucgnn in
heal andafter ta! .ing a few bottles disappeared
entirely. Th's was two ye.-rs ago ; then-are still
no signs of the Cancer, and mv general heatlh
continues good.?Mrs. R. Shiker, L.a Plata, Ma
