H-l,'frrw -(Bg fllW Tkf""' V-?"il?g31pi 10 THE MOBNING OREGONIAtf, TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1901. ffr Tjpp"j(up -sTlP'Tf "JHi!PHWl y5 FLEET OF SAILERS Three Square -Riggers Re ported Off the River. HAY BE SOME OF THE OVERDUES Nearly a Dozen Skips Dally Expected at Mouth of the Columbia Steam ers Robert Adamion. and Mllos Reach Fort. With a big fleet of ships long overdue at this port, news of a "square-rigger out side" attracts more attention than it does tvhen the In-bound fleet conies along reg ularly. The report from Astoria last evening stated that there were 'three square-riggers outside. With so many ships due, it would be a difficult xnattex o select the names of the vessels, but there is one ship above all others which shipping men would like to see in port, and that is the Andrada. I is now 34 days since the Andrada came up off the mouth of the river and secured a pilot, and, unless she has gone to the bottom of the ocean, she certainly ought to be work ing back Into position off the mouth of the river. The other overdues in the or der of their risk are: The Bertha, S3 days from Wei-Hal-Wci; Otto Glldemeis ter, 61 days from Yokohama: Cape Wrath, 80 days from Callao; Peter Rick roors, 93 days from Hong Kong. These ere the worst overdues for Portland, and ior Puget Sound there Is the Rathdown, which is almost a hopeless case, and the Castle Rock, which is becoming serious. While the trio reported off the river last evening may include some of the over dues, it is by no means a certainty, for the reason that there are half a dozen other vessels besides the overdues that are daily expected. Two French barks in ballast are due from Europe, and a third Is due from Honolulu. The Queen Vic toria, from Nagasaki; Scottish Hills, from Taltal, and Hassia, from Hakodate, are all due, and the Alsterkamp, from San Diego, is out 10 days, which, with the prevailing southerly weather, is a suffi cient length of time to bring her up without breaking a record. TWO STEAMERS ARRIVE. Robert Adamnon Reached Portland Last Evening:, 3Illos Dae Today. The British steamer Robert Adamson, which sailed from Nanaimo last Thurs day, but failed to get out of the death liaunted Straits of Fuca before Saturday, arrived up 'last evening, and will com mence lining up for her outward cargo this morning. The steamer is a large car rier, but has a considerable quantity of bunker coal aboard, which will cut down her wheat cargo slightly. The steamer Mllos, which had a narrow escape from being forced to burn her cargo in order to reach port, was' delayed at Astoria yesterday, taking aboard enough fuel to enable her to reach Portland. She left up about 5 o'clock last evening, and will reach Portland this forenoon. The river was so full of floating drift last evening that it was difficult work dodging the logs and other obstructions, and the Mllos probably anchored near the mouth of the Willamette, waiting for daylight. DEEP-DRAFT SHIP. Wavertree Finished Yesterday, and Draws Over 23 Feet. The British ship Wavertree finished loading yesterday, and will clear today with 119,306 bushels of wheat. She was dispatched by Glrvin & Eyre, and, with one exception will be the deepest-draft sailing vessel to leave here this season. Her draft Is 2S feet 4 inches, but as the Kaisow had no difficulty going down drawing 24 feet 6 Inches, the Wavertree will not be delayed on the way down. The freshet in the river is of less assist ance to deep-draft sh.ps at present than Is genorally supposed, as tho shoalest point in the river is Just above Tongue Point, and so near the ocean that the stage of water is unaffected except by ttie tides. Were it not for this obstruc tion, ships drawing 26 and 27 feet of water could go from Portland to the sea without delay. That portion of the channel will be attended to in the near future by the Port of Portland. YEAR'S SHIPBUILDING. Over a Thousand Merchant Vessels nnllt in United States in 1000. There were 1102 merchant vessels built In the United States and officially num bered by the Bureau of Navigation dur ing the year 1500. The 1102 vessels have a gross tonnage of 365.791. as compared with the 954 vessels of 267.G42 tons built in 1S99. There were 92 steel steam vessels of 106, 957 tons gross, as against S6 of 126.76S gross tons in 1S99. The greatest increase in shipbuilding has been on the Great Lakes. On the Pacific Coast there were built six steel steamers of SSS1 gross tons, as against five of 653 gross tons in 1S99. There were 575 wooden sailing vessels of 99,460 tons built, compared with 523 of S6.126 gross tons the year before. There were 42S wooden steamers of 40,546 gross tons, as against 335 of 33.364 tons In 1S99. There were 12 steel sailing vessels of 2S.S2S gross tons, against 10 of 21.3S5 tons the previous year. TRAGEDY AT SEA. Sailor Assaults Captain and Cook, Then Kills Himself. SANTA BARBARA. Cal., Jan. 14. The schooner Kate and Ann, Captain Walker, bas arrived here from Santa Rosalia. She reports that Mike O'Brien, a sailor, ran amuck aboard the vessel on Saturday morning. He made a vicious attempt to ltlll Captain Walker with a knife, and succeeded In cutting the cook near the heart, the wound probably being fatal. He then cut his own throat, dying on the deck. Tacoma Shipping. TACOMA. Wash., Jan. 14. The steam ships Tacoma and Braemar sailed for Chlia today. Both carried large consign ments of flour and miscellaneous goods.

Advice to Young: Men by One Who Knows the Game. PORTLAND, Jan. 12. (To the Editor.) Recently I wrote a short article in de fense of the game of faro. A fair game of faro is what I had reference to. An unfair game will wreak the destruction of an inexperienced player, one who does not know how to protect himself, quicker than any game known. Even an old hand at the game is compelled to keep his eyes open all the time. Nearly every player, sooner or later, adopts some kind of a system in playing, i. e,, playe certain cards to go a certain way. The principle systems are: "Single out," "double out," "odd and even," "two-one," "three-one," "break even," and "colors." If a man Is a regular visitor and has a system, it is only a question of time, and a very short time at that, when he "goes broke." A favorite way of "doing up" a player with a system is to run in a "cold deck" prepared over night especially to beat his mode of playing. A switch of decks is generally made at the end of some deal, when a confederate calls the attention of the victim from the game for an instant. An instant is all that is necessary. "The hand Is quicker than the eye," and woo to the player who relaxes his vigilance even for an instant. With "cold decks" and "crooked boxes" the Inexperienced player should think a long time before trying to learn the intricacies of the game, unless he has "money to burn." The "percentage" in favor of the dealer is In the "splits," A split occurs when two cards alike come out of the box at the same turn, two queens, two aces, etc., when the dealer takes half of any money that may have been wagered on that card. The longer a man plays the less chance he has of quitting winner, as he runs the chance of more splits. There is really only one way to beat the game of faro, and that is to let It severely alone. Young man, if you are determined to fool with tho "buzz saw," make your bets as large as your pocket-book will permit, keep your eyes continually on the dealer, and play to win a large amount while you are at it. In addition to the percentage," the great advantage the "bank" has over a player is in the fact that he will not stay to win as much aa he will stay to lose. He will, we will say, commence to play, and. If he wins $25, ?50, or $75, he will quit satisfied. On the other hand, should he commence by losing, he will play until his last dollar is gone, no matter how much he has, and then he will go out and borrowi from all his friends. After he has exhausted his friends, he" will steal In order to try and get even. Men have been known to rob their grandmothers to get money to play faro with. In the long run every faro player "goes broke." In my 15 years' experience In playing the game I never knew but one man to quit the game winner. That man was an old dealer himself. He won so frequently that dealers In all large cities barred him. He won over $200,000. I have seen him go Into a gambling-house and bet the dealer $100 that he would win $200, and he invariably did so. The dealers aro paid about $6 a day, and nine-tenths of them "blow In" all tholr wages against the game. With the enormous expense and the "fines" the "bank" must win or else retire from busi ness. As very few voluntarily retire from business it follows that they do not lose. Take the advice of a man who knows what he is talking about, and never set foot in a gambling-house. There is noth ing in bucking another man's game but h 1 and damnation. R. OHAMBERLIN. ANARCHIST'S MAIL SEIZED. Government Officials Opened Regis tered Packages. NEW YORK. Jan. 14. The anarchists of Paterson.'N. J. and elsewhere are much Incensed over the seizure by the Gov ernment of four packages of registered matter addressed to La Questione Soclale, an organ of the anarchists, published in that city. The package, it is asserted, contained pamphlets and other printed matter, which, while they preached the doctrines of anarchy, are declared to be perfectly proper, as well as legal. When Commissioner Trimble was inves tigating the charge that tho plot to kill King Humbert was hatched In Paterson, ho questioned Editor Esteve, of La Ques tione Soclale, and other avowed anarch ists. They admitted that they preached the doctrine of anarchy, but denied that they were connected with Bresci or any one else in a plot to assassinate the King of Italy or anybody else. The commission er made his report and left the city. Since then, it is alleged by the anarch ists, secret agents have visited them sev eral times and watched the delivery of literature with suspicion. Editor Esteve made his complaint at the last meeting of the Group of Right to Existence. Ho said that he could not account for tho actions of the postal au thorities. When the packages came to him they were preceded by the regular notice that a registered package could be found at the postofflce. He called. On each package was stamped the word "suspected." "I requested that the packages be opened." he said. "This was done and several pamphlets and books were dis closed. They were Innocent enough. There were lectures by Krapotkin and Mala testa. 'Patriotism and Government.' by Tolstoi, and works of a like character. On the ground that tho packages were supposed to be liable for duty they were hold and the custom-house authorities were notified. This is tho last that I have heard from my property. It Is withheld from mo by no Tight of law or reason." Postmaster Pollett said last evening the matter was in the hands of the customs department at Newark. When the pack ages were called for the postofflce's con nection ceased. The matter now lies with the customs authorities. Murderer Electrocuted. SING SDCG. N. Y., Jan. 14. William Neufeld. who murdered his mother's cou sin. Mrs. Annie Kronman, In her apart ments in West Thirty-fifth street. New York, August 7, 1899. was eleotrocuted in tho state prison at 6:05 o'clock this morn ing. His was the thirty-third electrocu tion in Sing Sing. Robbery was the mo tive of NcUfeld's crime. He had served a term in the Northern Illinois peniten tiary at Jollet for robbery committed in Illinois. BUSINESS ITEMS.

ENLARGING CAR SHOPS EAST SIDE RAILWAY TO DOUBLE ITS CAPACITY. Ifeiv Passenger and Freight Cars Will Be Built at Once 3Iore Fre quent Service to Oregon City. Plans are being prepared for a large addition to the carhouse and shops of the East Side Railway Company at Milwau kie, as more room will be required for the increased rolling-stock soon to ar rive. Tho cpmpany has a brick building at Milwaukie 100x200. which has served both for carhouse and shops since the line has been in operation, but the half block on the east side of the present building and alongside the county road has been acquired, and will be covered with a one-story brick structure 100x200, thus giving practically one building for use of the company, 200 feet square. The rolling-stock of the line will be increased by the addition of six passenger cars pro vided with powerful motors. Several new flat and freight cars will be built at the Milwaukie shops, the motors, of course, being ordered from the East. The old town of Milwaukie will probably have a stimulus when the new building has been finished and the new rolling-stock arrives, as more men will be required. It Is un derstood the service between Portland and Oregon City" will at least be doubled, so that trips will be made every 30 min utes. Residents of Sellwood are very hopdful they will get at least a 30-mlnute service, with a straight 5-cent fare. Thero are some who are hopeful that a 15-mln-ute service as far as Sellwood will be Inaugurated. This would benefit the en tire south East Side district. East 'Side Notes. J. H. Munk is very ill at St. Vincent's Hospital with inflammatory rheumatism. Storm water at the intersection of East Twelfth and Clinton streets has floodod the sidewalks. As there is a church at this corner, the accumulation of water is a serious Inconvenience. C. Bean, an old resident of Sellwood, was taken to the Good Samaritan Hos pital Saturday. He was attacked with serious illness, and was reported yester day in a critical condition. Special revival meetings at the Memo rial Evangelical Church, East Eighteenth and Tibbetts streets, will be continued for tho next two weeks, under the direction of Rev. Robert Pierce, pastor. Mrs. Caroline C. Lewis, wife of Thomas E. Lewis, died at her homo at Russell vllle, on the Base Line road, Saturday. She was 65 years of age. Funeral will take place this afternoon from her late home at 1 o'clock. A mass meeting of the residents of Montavilla will be held Thursday even ing at the Odd Fellows' Hall, under the auspices of the Sub-Board of Trade. Ev ery citizen of the suburb Is invited to at tend this meeting. Work on the foundation of the crema tory on the Oregon City Railway, near Sellwood, will be started as soon as tho weather will permit. Flinn & Bingham secured the contract for the masonry, and F. Finley the carpenter work. Surveyors were running lines Saturday. Superintendent O'Brien, of the O. R. & N., visited Falrview last week to look over the site of the proposed flour mill to be started at that point. The project ors are asking for switching facilities for the plant. It is expected that the mill will be built and In operation in the Fall if everything is favorable. REMARKS ON WAGON ROADS Their Importance to the Country Flan for Permanent Improvement. PORTLAND, Jan. 14. (To the Editor.) I see, in your issue of January 9, that your reporter, commenting on my re marks at the Farmers' Congress in Salem, the day before, did not understand me when he stated that I wanted to build the roads at once. For fear such a state ment might be misleading, and that I wanted to plunge the state Into a heavy debt by bonding the country for the full cost of all the roads at once, which would undoubtedly bankrupt a great many farmers who are already carrying heavy obligations, and also .another class who believe in slow development, I will now give my theory in further detail, in the form a bill to the Legislature of this state,, and why I think my theory would be the most practicable. First A direct state tax of not more than 2 mills to be used as an Inducement to build roads by offering the amount raised, to pay one-third of the expendi ture of roads that cost over $5000 per mile, which should be appropriated to each county in proportion to its farm values. If each county does not demand Its share by a certain date, that the amount be added to the total of other counties that have drawn their limit. Second That each county shall have the privilege of devising its owri means of raising its two-thirds of the cost, whether by bond or direct tax, dividing the proportion of the cost between property-holders and the county, as it sees fit. (I would advise paying the property owners proportion by the system used In paying Portland street Improvements, which is 10 annual equal payments.) Third That all roads asking state aid should be petitioned for by a majority of all resident property-holders, and also by a majority of the number of acres liable to be affected by such road, which would be evidence that they were prepared to pay their proportion of the tax. Fourth That all state-aid roads should have a maximum grade not to exceed 4 per cent. (Maybe 4 per cent Is too low on account of grades that could not be over come without expensive tunnels.) Fifth That the County Court in which said road is located provide a commission, or act as such themselves, to locate roads asked for, which should be over the best practicable route between points des ignated by the petition. Sixth That there shall be a state engi neer, whose duty it shall be to approve of routes asked for in petitions, prepare spec ifications, let contracts for building and accept same when completed. Seventh That no road shall receive state aid that is less than five miles long, and that each petition for state aid shall be granted in Its rotation as applied for, and that before the road is accepted as a state-aid road it should be approved of by the state engineer. Eighth That the court In which the road is" asked flor should appoint three ap praisers to assess damages to property owners caused by said road running through their premises. Ninth That contracts for grading and building should be let to the lowest re sponsible bidder in such a way as to insure completion within a reasonable time. Tenth That each county asking state aid should provide and operate a good modern roller, of sufficient weight, at its own expense, wherever the state engi neer would require Its use. Eleventh That loads of 2000 pounds and over 1200 pounds should have two-Inch tires: 4000 and under, three-inch tires; 6000 and under. 3-lnch tires: S000 and un der. four-Inch tires: 10.000 and under, 4" lnch tires: 12.000 and under, five-inch tires, and 12,000 and over, six-inch tires. I do not prepare the foregoing- as an ideal bill, but as an explanation of my theory. I do not contend that the state should help to build all the roads, but simply the main thoroughfares leading to railroad stations and trade centers, which ought not to average less than two or three miles apart. I do not intend that the working out of my plan would conflict with the regular state road laws for build ing and maintaining other roads, nor Is my theory at all original, but simply a combination of other state laws, Intended to meet the requirements of this state. As I am one of those persons who want to know the why for everything. I will now give you my reasons for wanting good roads, with explanations. (I will use the expression "good roads" to mean all roads that cost $5000 per mile or more. In any part of the state.) Because It costs the farmer of Oregon about $3 per ton to haul his produce 12 miles, which is about the average distance, or 25 cents per ton per mile, which is equal to the cost of transportation from San Francis co to Portland, or one-third of the cost from Omaha In carloads. Because, by the present scale of prices along several of the main roads in Wash ington County, the straightening of roads alone would move the farmers along those roads enough nearer to trade centers to pay for a good road every two miles wide, and other roads in the state would pay a large percentage throughout, on a corresponding scale. Because the road bureau in the Depart ment of Agriculture of the United States in making several dynometer tests on va rious kinds of roads on a level surface proved that a gross load weighing 2240 pounds required a horizontal draft on a macadam of only 65 pounds, while on ,a gravel road 143 pounds was required, and on a dirt road 200 pounds, all of the roads being in their best condition, while on a more expensive Telford road, which -would cost too much for this state, the raft was only 46 pounds. (In this test macadam did not mean sprinkling rock promiscuously on the road.) Because good roads would reduce the cost of country transportation one-half, and as the average farm haul is about 10 miles for each acre cultivated, he would save $1 50 on same each year. Because the cities and towns thrive in proportion to the prosperity of their sur roundings, and that the city merchant de livers his goods to his city customers, while the farmer asks no such service. The country roads are used for transport ing all goods sold by the merchant to the farmer, and it would be fair to all con cerned for the state to help build main roads. Because good roads would increase our population, for which we have plenty of room. Because good roads would more than save their cost every 10 years, at the rate of the present waste of power and wear and tear of harness and vehicles. Because free rural mall delivery would be made possible. Because good roads will make life In Oregon worth living. Because the amount of traffic over main thoroughfares would Justify the cost of good roads. Because the Bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture says we have the worst roads of any civilized country in the world. Because, according to the price of farm products in Portland, farm lands ought to be worth more than the same class of lands in the Eastern States, where they have good roads, and, therefore, we can afford to build good roads. Because the roads at times, in Winter, get so bad that a boat would give about as good service as a wagon. In explana tion, I will give some facts. A few years ago, I undertook to haul a carload of oats to Reedvlllo to ship to Portland. The average load we could haul was 3000 with four good horses, and in so doing broke off two good wagon tongues. On one of these trips a driver was thrown from his wagon with such force that he was un able to get up. When I picked him up and scraped off the mud and pried his wagon out with a fence rail, he was scarcely able to mount his wagon again. In some places the mud was so deep that the horses waded through It about like a fly wades in molasses. In one place on a heavy grade that we had to go up, the ruts were so deep that the fore-axle and brake-bar dragged the ground. Two years after I had a similar experience with two carloads of hay. Increasing the horse power and decreasing the load with each trip till the last load, wjh Ave horses, that would average over 1500 pounds, and a load of less than 3500 pounds, we were forced to unload twice and carry the bales of hay a considerable distance through mud In'whlch I know that a boat would have given better service than a wagon. Another experience I had In hauling loose hay to a milk ranch near Portland. With a load of 2700 pounds fastened to the wagon with two binding poles, and with a team of four good horses, the driver proceeded about three miles, when he upset. After vainly trying to pull his load back again, he had to untie the upper pole and let half of his load slide off, and then he succeeded In getting his wagon up again by hitching to the remaining binding pole and pulling it back. He then went for a neighbor to help to load again. After he had nearly reached his destina tion, in Multnomah County, he repeated his former experience by upsetting in worse shape, so he had to take off all of his load. I write these experience so that the true condition of things can be under stood, as they all happened inside of eight years. High prices Induced me to take these chances, so the nan at the other end suf fered the consequences the same as my self. To show that the same condition of things still exists: The party who hauls the product of the Farmlngton creamery to Portland comes past here once a week, Increasing his distance 2 miles to get around an Impassable road. The farmers of Scholl's and Farmlngton have built a large hay wareh'ouse at Reedvllle, where they haul their hay In the busiest season of the year, on account of bad roads. In talking with a man a few days ago who did not favor good roads, I asked him if he would haul my potatoes to Port land for $3 per ton, and he said he did not care for the Job. It was plainly evi dent that he could not have made wages at that price. Then I stated that a good road would benefit him If such a road would raise the value of his farm $100 an acre, as he did. not want to sell it. Then I stated that if I could get him to study the question as I had that he would be convinced, and he said he did not want to be convinced, and yet this man is a very good farmer. I expect to meet very strong opposition to my Ideas, which I hope to be able to defend. I do not claim to be Infallible. Some of my arguments may be wrong, but I contend that the principle is right. The reason why I am so radical on this question Is because nearly every man In the state has admitted for tho last 10 years .that thousands of dollars are wasted annually on roads, but has dona nothing to stop it, and now I will, with the strongest emphasis, 'state that It Is not economy to build a good road little by little, for several good reasons. In conclusion. I will say that I court comment and the keenest criticism, and if I am not able to defend my position, I will give up the fort. Any encourage ment will be gratefully received, either through tho press or privately, though condemnation will be taken with the same grace. FERD GRONER. Millionaire Rice's "Will. CHICAGO, Jan. 14. A special to the Chronicle from Poplar Bluff, Mo., says: Miles G. Owen, of New York, a repre sentative of Attorney Potter, who is en gaged in looking after the J5.000.000 estate of William M. Rice, who died in New York, September 23. 1900, under suspicious circumsiances, has been In Stcne County, Missouri, where he has round three heirs of the millionaire. They are B. F. Rice, Bird Rice and Mrs. Mattle Clark, all of whom reside In the south part of the county. Tie three were not aware of their uncle's death, nor the sensational circumstances connected with "his demise. The attorney served each with a citation notifying them that the Probate Court of New York City would, February 7, take action on the will, and requesting their presence in court on that date. What action will be taken by tno heirs is not known, as it is said they have not means to carry them out of the state, much less to New York, WEDDING AT NEWPORT MARRIAGE OF ALBERT G. VAXDER BILT AND MISS ELSIE FRENCH. Ceremony Took Place at the Church of St. John the Evangelist Recep tion at Bride's Mother's Home. NEWPORT. R. I., Jan. 14. Although in th'e depths of Winter this well-known watering place today took on a semblance of its Summer gaiety because of the wed ding of Alfred Gwynna Vanderbllt, proba bly the most wealthy of the third genera tion of the Vanderbllt family, and Miss Elsie French, a charming Newport girl and former playmate of tho bridegroom, the daughter of Mrs, Frederick Orme French, a resident of the city for many years. A brighter sun never shone for any bride and In spite of crispness in the air. It did not seem to be a Winter's day. The ceremony took place at noon, In the Seabriski Memorial Church of St. John the Evangelist, far up in the old north part of the city, on the very shores of Narrangansett Bay, once the center of Newport's fashion, but now far removed from the social whirl of Bellevue ave nue. Miss French made the choice of her own place of worship and her own home for the scene of marriage", instead of se lecting the more pretentious but less fa miliar surroundings which would have been found in New York. Under these conditions 300 or more guests were forced to make a Journey to a city as quiet at this tlmo of the year as an obscure coun try village. The festivities, however, did not suffer from these unusual circumstances. The church which "was decorated with gor geous lavishness, was only about half filled with guests, the Invitations hav ing .been limited to relatives and close friends of the couple. The service was as ornate as the highest forms of the Episcopal Church could make it. the wedding procession a picture of loveliness and fine gowns, and the break fast, which closed the formal proceedings of the day, was one of the grandest ever seen in this city. Although tho ceremony was set for noon, an hour or more before that time saw the arrival of some of the guests at the church, and those who came about 11 o'clock had the pleasure of listening to an organ concert and found leisure to marvel at the floral decorations. Pink, green and white In many charming com binations, were the prevailing colors, the distinctive flowers being bride roses, glolre do la Heine Bengoras, Golden Gate roses with white Azaleas, and the Spec imen palm. The programme of the organ concert, which occupied the hour preceding the ceremony, was selected by Miss. French. The choir boys of the church marched in fuletly at 11:20 and led In two of the ymns assigned to them. . Just as the tones of the "Lohengrin" march breathed softly forth the two clergymen. Rev, F. Beattie. rector of the church, and Rev. G. Brinley Morgan, rector of Christ Church, at New Haven, entered from the side door followed by the bridegroom and his brother, Reginald Vanderbllt, the best man. At the same time the bridal pro cession started up the main aisle, the ush ers leading, followed by the four brides maids. Eight personal friends of the bride groom acted as ushers. They were Worthlngton Fitzhugh Whltehouse. Fred erick Martin Davies, Robert. Livingstone Gerry, Ord Preston, Ernest Iselin. W. P. Borden, Potter Palmer, Jr., and W.

There are never any ex ternal signs of Cancer until the blood is polluted and the system thoroughly con taminated by this deadly virulent poison. Then a sore or ulcer appears on some part of the body ; it may be small and harmless looking at first, but as the can cerous cells form and are deposited by the blood near the sore, it increases in size and severity, with sharp shooting pains. No matter how often the sore is removed by the surgeon's knife or flesh destroying plasters, another comes and is worse. The real disease is in the blood, and the treatment must begin there. The poisoned blood must be invigorated and purified, and when this is done cancerous cells can no longer form and the sore will heal naturally and permanently Mrs. Sarah M.
