Maroh, April, May.
Almost every one has como to be
lieve that March, April nnd May is a
season that brings derangements of
the body dependent on blood impuri
ties. Thin belief is an old one, is
nearly universal, and has arisen, not as
the resitlt'of the teachings of the medi
cal fraternity, but has been learned in
the bitter school of experience. Do
prysslon of the nervous system at the
approach of spring is a fertile source
of blood impurities goneral lassitude,
dull, heavy sensations, cootinual tired
feelings, with irregular appetite, and
sometimes loss of sleep.
Pe-ru-na meets every indication and
proves itself to be perfectly adapted to
all their varied peculiarities. Pe-ru-na
Invigorates the system, rejuvenates the
feelings, restores the normal appetite
utid procures regular sleep. That
tired feeling which is the natural re
sult of tho depressing effect of warm
weather immediately after the iu
vlgoratingcold of winter, quickly dis
appears when Pe-ru-na is taken.
Thousands are dally testifying to its
priceless benefit.

Cancer
Can be Cured.
It Is very often that the mot inslg
cdflcaat aysaetoma are f orerunnera of
the most violent disease. There la

into the moat alarming conditions.
Here ia another case where the flrat
symptoms of a most violent Cancer
were too htnall to receive much notice
until the disease had fully developed.
Mrs. Laura E. Mima has resided at
Bmithvllle, Georgia, for years, audhs
well known throughout the adjoining
country. In a recent letter she tell
of a wonderful case.
She says: "A small pimple of a
strawberry color appeared on my
check; it soon changed to purple, and
began to grow rapidly, notwithstand
ing all efforts to check ituntil it waa
tnc size oi a pannage egg. mjr j"
became terribly inflamed, and was so
awollen, that for quite a while I could
not ace. The doctors said I had Can
Mas. Laura E. Mius.
cer of the most malignant type, and'
after exhausting their efforts without
doing me any good, they gave up the
case as hopeless. When informed that
my father had died from the same
disease, they said I must die, as tiered
itary Cancer was incurable. I was
terribly reduced in health, and felt as
if my life was wasting away.
" At this crisis, I was advised by a
friend to try S. S. S., and in a short
while the Cancer seemed more in
flamed than before. I was informed
that waa favorable, however, as the
medicine acts by forcing out the
poison through the pores of the skin.
"Before long the Cancer began to
discharge and continued to do so for
three months; then it began to heal.
I continued the medicine a while
longer, until the Cancer disap
peared entirely, and I enjoyed better
health than ever before. Thla has
been several years ago and there has
not been a sign of a return of the
disease."
Cancer is becoming alarmingly
prevalent, and manifests itself ia
such a variety of forms, that any'
sore or acab, it matters not how small,
which does not readily heal up and
disappear may well be regarded with
suspicion.
The fact that 8. S. 8. (guaranteed'
purely vegetable) cures hereditary Can
cer, which is considered incurable,
places it without an equal aa a
sure cure for all manner of real bloed
diseases, such as Scrofula, Eczema,
Contagious Blood Poison, or any other
form of bad blood, Our treatise on
