Positively the only euro" for" Cancer is Swift's Specific S. S. 8. FOR THE BLOOD because it is the only remedy which can go deep enough to reach the root of the disease and force it out of the system permanently. A surgical operation does not reach the blood the real sent of the disease because the blinxl can not be cut away. Insist upon S. S. S. ; nothing can take its place. S. S.

It is simply im posaible for those who have not at tempted to drive over the roads to realize what condition they are In, No grain at all Is moving and the traffic of the farmers is practically blockaded, A few days ago an empty wagon was stuck in the mad on the streets of Mon tieello. and the roads outside of the vil lage were even worse." Or like this from the Ixitrobe (Pa.) Daily Clipper: "The bad condition of the country roads is known to all who travel them, but our milkmen, who hava to travel them early every morning, have the most experience. As an example we note the breaking of W. W. NiobohV wagon while coming to town with milk this morning.
