GANGER 13 NOT
Time was wnen Cancer was considered as incurable as leprosy. m fU Si B ^raS
Physicians and friends could give little relief or encouragement to
one afflicted with this terrible disease. Even now doctors know of no remedy for this fearful malady ; while admitting it to be
a blood disease, they still insist that there is no hope outside of a surgical operation, and advise you to have the Cancer cut out,
but at Die same time cannot assure you that it will not return. You may cut or draw out the sore, but another will come in
its place, for the disease is in Die blood — is deep-seated and destructive, and beyond the reach of the surgeon’s knife or
caustic, flesh-destroying plasters. The blood must be purified and strengthened, Die system relieved of all poisonous, effete
matter before Die Cancer sore will heal.
S. S. S. is the only medicine that can overcome this powerful and contaminating poison and force it out of the blood. It
builds up and invigorates the old, and supplies new, rich, life-giving blood. S. S S. is a purely vegetable remedy ; no mineral
can lie found in it; the roots and herbs from which it is made contain powerful purifying properties that act directly upon
the bh>od system and make a safe and permanent cure of Cancer. It has cured thousands, why not you?
Cancer is not always inherited ; your family may be free from any taint, yet your blood may become so polluted that a severe
_ _ _ _ m . mm m a,,, l stubborn form of the disease inav
Impure Blood invites Beseese*
develop from a sore or ulcer on your tongue
or other part of your body; a slight bruise
”or hurt, a little pimple on the eyelid, lip
or nose, a small lump on the jaw or breast, a harmless looking wart or mole, ami other causes so insignificant as to attract
little oi no attention. If you have an obstinate sore, don’t rely upon salves or ointments to cure it — begin with S. S. S.
at once ; it will cleanse your blood and prevent the formation of cancerous cells.
Mrs. K ''hirer, I. Plata, Mo , writes : A small imiijile came on niv jaw atmut one inch ln-
ear on the left sidt of my f ice At first it gave me no trouble, ami I did not think it w.-i , anything
until tiie jaw began to swell and tieca.ne much inflamed. At the same time the sore bega t to s- :
eat into tfie flesh, and gave m<-intense pain I tried everything I could h*-.ir of. but nothing oid me any
pood. I then began tin-rise of S S. S . and after talcing several Ik ttl« - the Cancer h-.-b i. and there
is now no sign of the disease. This was two years ago, and 1 am still njoying j erfect health "
. Send for our special book on Cancer ; it contains much information that will interest
you ; it is free.
Write our physiciai s about your case, and for any advice or information wanted ; they
have made a life study of Cancer and all blood diseases. We make no charge what
