SMALL SPOT MAY BE CANCER. The greatest care should be given to MOST VIOLENT CASES HAVE any little sore , pimple or scratch which shows no disposition to heal under ordinary - ary treatment. No one can tell how soon these AT AS will develop into Cancer of the worst type. So many people die from Cancer simply because - cause they do not know just what the disease is ; they naturally turn themselves over to the doctors , and are forced to submit to a cruel and dangerous operation the only treatment which the doctors know for Cancer. The disease promptly returns , however , and is even more violent and destructive than before. Cancer is a deadly poison in the blood , and an operation , plaster , or other external treatment can have no effect whatever upon it. The cure must como f rom within the last vestige of poison must bo eradicated. Mr.Vm Walpole , of Walshtown S D , says : "A little blotch about the size of a pea came under my left eye gradually growing larger , from which shooting pains at intervals ran in all directions 1 became greatly alarmed and consulted a good doctor , who pronounced it Cancer , and advised that it be cut out , but this I could not con sent to. I read in my local paper of a cure effected by S S. S. . and decided to try it. It noted like a charm , the Cancer becoming t first" irritated , and then dipcharging vpry freely. This gradually erew less and then discon tinued altogether , leaving a small scab which soon dropped - pod off and now only a healthy little scar remains where what threatened to destroy my life once held full sway. " Positively the only cure for Cancer is Swift's Specific S. S. S. FOR TS-iE BLOOD because it is the only remedy which can go deep enough to reach the root of the disease and force it out of the system permanently. A surgical operation does not reach the bjood the real seat of the disease because the blood can not be cut aioay. Insist upon S. rt. S. ; nothing can tak its pi ice. S. S. S. cures also any case of Scrofula. Eczema. Rheumatism. Contagious Blood Poison , Ulcers' , Sores , or any olher form of blood disoase.

When we be come aroused to ihe fact that at the least calculation 72 per cent of all crimes com mitted are caused from the vile effects ol liquor , it lays the responsibility that much heavier on us teachers to iuibue in the minds of the rising generation the evil effects of intemperance. We are intrusted with these young minds to cul tivate and train as God would have them , but there is more than one way of sinning , and the sin of intemperance holds in bondage more human lives than any one sin. Let us unite in one accord and strive to do our duty in its fullest capa city , that there may never be said , "They never taught us of the evils of intemper ance. " * * Mr Moody says that no man has been in the liquor business for twenty years who hadn't a skeleton in the closet of his home. * * There is no poverty , no suffering , very little crime and no strife between labor and capital at the little town of Boliver , fifty-eight miles from Pittsburg. The two hundred and fifty men who are em ployed in brick-making have not allowed any saloons there for thhty years. * * One important step necessary in driv ing out tlie saloon is for temperance workers to unite , as far * as practicable , instead of being divided into factions , at war with each other. * * "The Filipinos , " says F. R. Robertson , who has recently returned from the Philippines , "have a horror of intoxicat ing beverages , and would not allow the sale of them in their towns.
