Mr. A. II. Crausby is one of the best
known and most highly respected citi
zens of Memphis, and resides at 158
Kerr street in that city.
Some years ago his wife noticed a
small lump in her breast. She thought
nothing of it. but it increased in size
rapidly, and soon broke through the
akin and commenced to discharge.
She was at once put under treatment
of the best physicians, but the} *ery I
soon found that they could do her no
good, and simply prescribed antiseptics
to keep the place clean. Both her
grandmother and aunt, by tbe way,
had died with cancer, and when ap
prised of this fact the doctors said that
they would not attempt to save her;
that she was incurable. Although the
cancer had by this time become deep- I
ucated and her health very low, one of
the most noted specialists of New York
then treated her. After treating her
awhile, this doctor admitted that the !

HAD YOU EVER THOUGHT WHAT WAS
THE REAL DIFFERENCE?
Well, medically speaking there is none, but
viewing it from a commercial standpoint t.iere
is a world of difference.
Two gentlemen came to town last week to
buy clothing. The one bought a suit from us,
and we gave him a perfect equal to tailor
made, for $4.99 which he said would have
cost him $ 10.00 elsewhere. Having his anat
omy and purse both fitted, he has been talking
our praise ever since.
The other fellow bought an ill-fitting suit up
town for which he paid more and got less
value, and has almost been having SPASMS
eyer since. See?
The people are fast learning that there is
but one house in town to buy clothing from
and that is the store of the

case y>'a?» hopeless and further treat
ment useless. “It i\ difficult to im
agine how despondent we all became, M
said Mr. Crausby, “knowing' that she
must die and unable to give her any
relief. I hud spent over five hundred
dollars with the best medical skill to
be had, and felt that there was no
further hope.
“One day I happened to read an ad
vertisement of S. S. S., recommending
that remedy for cancer, and in view of
the failure of the most eminent physi
cians in the country, I confess I had
little faith left in any human agency.
However, I purchased a bottle of S.S.S.,
and to my delight it seemed to benefit
her. Afier she had taken a couple of
bottles the cancer began to heal, and
astonishing as it may seem, a few bot
tles more cured her entirely. You can
probably better understand how re
markable this cure was when I explain
that the cancer had eaten two holes in
the breast two inches deep. These
healed up entirely, and although ten
years have elapsed, not a sign of the
disease has ever returned, and we are
assured of the permanence of the cure,
which we at first doubted.
“As my wife inherited the cancer, I
certainly regard S. B. S. as the most
wonderful remedy in the world, and it
is truly a Godsend to those afilicted
with this terrible disease. You may
be sure that I shall always be grateful
to that remedy, for without it my home
would now be desolate and my chil
dren motherless.”
The above is but one of many re
markable cures being daily made by
S. S. S. Cancer is becoming alarm-
ingly prevalent, and manifests itself in
such a variety of forms, that any lump,
sore or scab, it matters not how small,
which does not readily heal up and dis
appear may well be regarded with
suspicion. We will gladly send to any
address, full accounts of several other
cures fully as remarkable as this one.
For real blood troubles, S. S. S. has
no equal. It wipes out completely the
most obstinate cases of blood diseases,
which other remedies do not seem to
touch. S. S. S. gets at the root of the
disease, and forces it out permanently.
S. S. S. is guaranteed purely vegeta
ble, ana is a positive anti permanent
cure for Scrofula, Eczema, fcancer.
