The Cruel Knife! The alarming increase in the number of deaths which occur as the result of a surgical operation is attracting general attention, and a strong sentiment against such methods of treatment is fast developing among the most intelligent classes. It seems that in almost every case for which the doctors' treatment is unsuccessful, the learned physicians decide at once that an operation must be performed, and the keen blade of the surgeon is recklessly resorted to. Doctors are human, and of course are liable to make mistakes, but their mistakes are too fatal to be indulged in promiscuously, and as so many lives are sacrificed in this manner, it is but natural for the public to believe that half the operations are unnecessary, besides be trig a fearful risk to human life, even il successful. It is a positive fact, however, that all operations are not necessary, and that a majority of them are absolutely undertaken without the slightest chance of success. The doctors have never been able to cure a blood disease, and a surgical operation is their only method of treating deep-seated cases, such as cancer and scrofulous affections. Aside from the great danger, an operation never did and never will cure cancer, as the disease never fails to return. Cancer is in the blood, and comniou sense teaches anyone that no disease can be cut from the blood. Here is a case where the pain indicted on a six-year-old boy whs especially cruel, and after undergoing the tortures produced by the surgeon's knife he rapidly grew worse. Mr. J. N. Murdoch, the father of the boy, residing at 279 Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes : "When my son, Will, was six years old, a small sore appeared 011 his lip, which did not yield to the usual treatment, but before long began to grow. It gave him a great deal of pain, and continued to spread. lie was treated by ?UUU uuciors, WOU SHUl Jit: II Fit 1 cancer, and advised that an operation was necessary. "After much reluctance, we consented, and they cut down to the jaw hone, which they scraped. The opci it ion v. as a severe one, hut I thought it was the only hope for my hoy. Before a great while the cancer returned, and began to grow rapidly. We gave him many remedies without relief, and finally upon the advice of a friend, decided to try S.S.S. (Swift's Specific), and with the second bottle he hegan to improve. After twenty bottles had been taken, the cancer disappeared entirely and he was cured. The cure was a permanent one, for he is now seventeen years old, and has never had a sign of the dreadful disease to return." S.S.S. is far ahead of all other blood remedies, because it is the only one which cures deep-seated obstinate blood diseases such as Cancer, Scrofula, Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism, etc. It is the only blond remedy guaranteed Purely Vegetable containing not a particle of mercury, potash, or other mineral ingredient, which are so injurious to the system. S.S.S. is sold by all druggists. Hooks on Cancer and Blood Diseases will be mailed free to any address by the Swift Specific Company, Atlanta, Ga. Before submitting tothe^i knife, try the only reai blood remedy. iumhii i iucanr7:jv t Nt tf Srcn t Krmody Al?ftolut?'Vy I'nWno v:i t?? t?i? pmi?- ?'if>n rrrinnficiit ('urn . t. !' . tluvs. Wfl refund in ?iii*y if m?? ?i .

Special to The State. Fort Mill, Sept. 29.--Talking of a yellow fever scare, Isotn Burns, a brother of Robert Burns, died of a genuine case of yellow lever in 1874, two and a half miles from Fort Mill. Some time in September he visited Charleston and was all in and around the ships and reached home Sunday morning and was taken desperately ill. The two physicians attending him pronounced it genuine yellow fever. lie had all the symptoms even to the black vomit; his sister and friends were astonished,especially at the black vomit, as they had never seen anything like it. He was taken ill on Sunday and died on Tuesday; no one else took it nor was there any panic. ONE OF TWO WAYS. The bladder was created for one purpose, namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as such it is not liable to any form of disease except by one of two ways. The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second way i- from careless local treatment | of other diseases. ciiu:r cai ni;. I'nhealthy urine from un-1 healthy kidneys isthechiei cause; of Madder troubles. So the j wwii.o, like the bladder, was cro-j ated for one purpose, and if not! doctored too much is not liable! to weakness or disease, except in | rare cases. It is situated back of j and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain or inconven ! ience manifested in the kidnevs.i hue' Madder or urinary passage in oi.en. by mistake, attributed to l female weakness or womb trou-' imo port. The error is, ohm;> made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly, j set your urine aside for twenty four hours ; :i sediment or settling ] indicates kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and theextraordi-1 nary effect of I)r.Kilmer's Swamp-[ 1 loot,the throat kidney,and bladder j remedy is soon realized. If you need a medicine you should have j the best. At druagists fifty cents \ and one dollar. You mav have a aaniplo bottle and pamplet, both . sent froo by mail. Mention the kntiki'risi: and send your address to !>r. Kilmer A- Co., Bingham-1 ton, X.
