THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER. FRIDAY. MAY 15. 190S
MAY LEAD TO CANCER
There Is no difference, at first, in the appearance of a cancerous and a
common ulcer, and for this reason every sore that is obstinate or slow in
tealine should excite suspicion, for the sore is nothing more than the exter
nal evidence of a polluted blood, and if allowed to remain may degenerate
Into Cancer. Efforts to heal the ulcer by means of salves, plasters and other
external remedies always result in failure,because such treatment can have
no possible effect on the blood, where the deadly germs and morbid matter
formTand are carried through the circulation to the place. No sore or nicer
can exist without a predisposing internal cause, and the open, discharging
nicer or festering old sore will continue to eat deeper into the surrounding
flesh as long as a polluted, germ-infected circulation discharges its impur
ities into it. S. S. S. goes to the fountain-head of the trouble, and drives
out the germ-producing poisons and morbid impurities which keep the
* ulcer open. Then as this rich, purified blood
goes to the diseased place the healing begins,
all discharge ceases, the inflammation grad
ually leaves, new tissue an$ healthy flesh
la are formed, and soon the sore is perma-
_ - nently cured. S. S. S. is made entirely of
