No matter how often a cancerous sore is removed, another comes at or near the same point, and always in a worse form. Does not this prove conclusively that Cancer is a blood disease, and that it is folly to attempt to cure this deep-seated, dangerous (blood trouble by cutting or burning out the sore, which, after all, is only an outward sign of the disease a place of exit for (the poison f . Cancer npis in families through many generations, and those whose ancestors have been afflicted with it are liable at any j time to be striken with the deadly malady. Only Blood Diseases can be Transmitted from One Generation to Another ' further proof that Cancer is a disease of the blood. To cure a blood disease like this you must cure the entire blood system remove every trace of the poison. Nothing cures Cancer effectually and permanently but S. S. S. , S.S.S. enters the circulation, pcorches out nnd removes all taint, and stops the formation of cancerous cells. No mere tonic or ordinary blood medicine can do this, S. S. S. goes down to the very roots of the disease, and forces out the deadly poison, allowing the ore to heal naturally and permanently S. S S. nt the same time purifies the blood and builds up the general health. mi 11 a little tiiinnlr. n harmless lookim; wart or mole, a lunm in the breast, a cut or bruise that refuses to JN?m heal iituli-r orillnarv treatment, should all be looked uoou with suspicion, as this is often the betnutiitiL' of a bad form of cancer.
