People in general believe a cancer incurable (which Is correct. If allowed to eat Into the gland too far); besides, many quacks have been fooling the public for years: But in the long standing of tho St. Louis Dispensary it has established it self in the confidence of the public and It is known, that nothing is treated which is Incurable. Furthermore, they DON'T TAKE A DOLLAR until the cancer Is satisfactorily removed. Not only cancer, but all dis eases of both sexes treated. Consultation free in all cases In person or by mail. ST.
