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 intelli¬
gent classes. It seems that in almost
every case for which the doctors* treat¬
ment is unsuccessful, the learned physi¬
cians decide at once that an operation blade
must be performed, and the keen
of the surgeon is recklessly resorted to.
Doctors are human, and of course are
liable to make mistakes, but their mis¬
takes 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¬
ing a fearful risk to human life, even if
successful. that all
It is a positive fact, however,
operations are not necessary, and that a
majority of them are absolutely under¬
taken without the slightest chance of
success. The doctors have never been
able to cure a blood disease, and a sur¬
gical operation is their only method of
treating deep-seated cases, such as can
cer an scrofulous affections. Aside
from the great danger, an operation
never did and never will cure cancer, as
the disease never fails to return. Can¬
cer is in the blood, and common sense
teaches anyone that no disease can b,
cut from the blood.

Here is a case where the pain inflicted
on a six-year-old boy was especially
cruel, and after undergoing the tortures he
produced by the surgeon’s knife rap¬
idly grew worse. Mr. J. N. Murdoch,
the father of the boy, residing at 279
Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes :
“When my son, Will, was sir years
Old, a small sore appeared on his lip,
which did not yield to the usual treat¬

only hope for my boy. Before a great
while the cancer returned, and began to
grow rapidly. We gave him many rem
edies 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 began to improve. After twenty
bottles had been taken, the cancer dis¬
