OREGON CITY, THURSDAY, JULY 5,-1877.
President Hayes and his Party.
"We notice that the Iowa Republican
Convention refused to give endorsement
to the policy of President Hayes, and a
similar want of confidence has been ex
pressed by the Republicans in the New
Hampshire Legislature. We feel, for
one, that the action of tbe President is
in accord with the constitutional restric
tions of his office; and that he should
be fully snstained in it by every one
who has any regard for that instrument.
The Preeident no doubt as deeply de
plores the outlawry that prevails in
many sections of the South as any one;
but under the Constitution he is as
powerless to interfere as the most humble
citizen, until called upon in a legitimate
way to exercise the allotted functions of
the national prerogatives. Until our
Constitution can be changed, and out
lawry in the South is fast moulding
Bentiment in that direction, we must
continue to sue murder the political
'aUy of Democracy shielded by the
friendly aegis of States Rights, and the
national arm powerless to reach it, un
less the law is invaded and the tradi
tions of the country upturned. It was
President Grant's willingness to do this
that brought the Republican party to
the verge of dissolution the tendency
was dangerous, as it violently ercroach
es upon constitutional limitations, and
Grant was as ruthlessly disregardful of
the law as were the Southern bandits;
but it is greatly to his advantage to ac
knowledge that his motive was always
to sustain but with arms the tottering
form of Justice. For one we have no
reverence for those lingering absurd
equities called States Rights, under and
by virtue of which practices are per
mitted that shock civilization and make
the crimes of the Goths and Vandals
.peem mild as compared with atrocities
committed in the nineteenth century
under the American flag, but removed
away from the avenging arm of the na
tion, because of the trammels of States
Rights. We go for plucking up and
destroying those vestiges, behind which
murder finds protection, and a surren
der of such functions to the General
Government, that the national arm may
bo asserted for punishment where a
whole people connive at assassination
ns seems to be the case in Mississippi.
Until this is done, however, we think
President Hayes does rightly to stand
on the well-grounded and easily inter
preted limitations cf the law. The peo
ple will sooner revolt at any apparent
infraction of the Constitution in any
direction, than they will at outrages
beyond their reach, and by revolting
will brow back the tendency for prog
ress for years, by giving over to tbe en
emies of progression the reins of Gov
ernment. We stand in this danger now.
President Hayes, true to hi3 letter of
acceptance, is bringing his administra
tion square to the line of the Constitu
tion; as far as it is possible under the
law, he will assert the national prerog
ative in the protection of the interests
of the people, bnt beyond this boundary
lie will not go; because of this the Ru
perts and Hotspurs of the Republican
party have commenced a warfare which,
if persisted in, will 6urely hand over
the destinies of the country, at the next
Presidential election, to its veriest ene
my the Democracy. Hayes is a Re
publican of the truest type, and know
ing what Republicanism is, will not be
-swerved from an administration of that
character, by all the assaults of the hot
9 beads of the party, ne is no Andrew
Johnson to go over to the enemy be
cause he finds his policy blocked, bnt
will never yield to anything in contra
vention of the written law. We are in
danger of losing the Presidential suc
cession if a want of confidence is gener
ally voted by Republicans, because very
many who are greater sticklers for the
"written law" than they are for the
equities of citizenship, will gravitate
away from the party that fails to sus
tain the President in this juncture and
fall within the embraces of the ana
conda of Democracy, whose coils are
condescendingly wide enough at jnst
this time to enfold every shade of public
opinion and mould it to elect some par
ty hack who will again assert the divin
ity arid uprear the standard of States
Rights. Let us not blame President
Hayes because he will not override un
just provisions of law, but let us rather
move together to so amend the law that
the President may act within its restric
tions to uphold the privileges of citizen
ship even within the confines of the
State.
States Rights is no longer a slogan to
array the people in serried ranks when
ever its divinity is menaced. Our war
very much battered this sentiment out
of its adherents, and only now and then
some old fossil like the present editor
of the Standard is found croaking its
dismal diapason into the ear of an un
heeding public. This venerable old pre
historic thinks more of the resolutions
of "93" than he does of Old Rourbon,
quite as ancient, and will fall entangled
in a net work of the two when finally he
renders his chivalrie spirit back to the
hazel Dell from which it sprang. But
ia contravention to the petty aristocracy
of States Rights, we put the'oriflamme
of nationality by which we stand, the
foremost power on the globe, a compact
unity against which the cohorts of the
world may beat itself in- vain endeavor.
As a nation we stand the very personifi
cation of strength and prowess. As a
y-
sovereignty of States, we degenerate in
to a petty snarling family of jealous fac
tionists, carryiug the germ of disinte
gration along with the other household
gods, ready to blossom into existence,
an Upas tree to poison and destroy its
various members. Let us honor Presi
dent Hayes for his regard of law, but
let us at the same time seek to so amend
the law that through it true Republi
canism can bo asserted everywhere.
The Silver Dollar.
The point to the silver dollar agita
tion may be stated in a few words. It
is, says an Eastern exchange, that
the American dollar means 412
grains of silver or 25 8-10 grains of
gold. That is all there is about it and
the fact that no silver dollars have been
coined by the United States mints since
1873 does not prevent 412 Y grains of
silver being as much the legal measure
of a dollar as it was ten years ago.
The trouble is, however, that neither
grains of silver nor 25 8-10 grains
of gold make a legal dollar, unless
they have the government mint stamp
upon them. Now the advocates of sil
ver money ask no change in the law,
they ask fcr no rights or privileges
which they have not got already, they
only ask that the mint shall put out
enough of the silver measures for peo
ple to measure their debts by. The
silver measures have been out of use so
long that they have all been parted
with and people measure their coin
debts by gold now simply because they
can't get hold of enough silver meas
ures. The absurdity of the objections
to the recoinage of silver dollars will
easily be found in the fact that such
silver dollars as have remained in exis
tence of the coinage previous to 1873,
are as much lawful coin to-day as a gold
dollar with the stamp of 1877 upon it.
If enough of the old issue had remain
ed to answer the purposes of money
measures now, there would be no ne
cessity for legislation to reinstate the
silver standard. It exists as a matter
.of fact and of law.and all Congress need
do is to authorize the coinage of
enough silver dollars to meet the de
mands of the people and cover the
amount of coin needed to meet the in
terest on the public debt.
It is now intimated that Tilden and
Hendricks have 1880 in their eye,
when they hope to again be the standard
bearers of their party. It was Patrick
Henry, wo beleive, who once said "it is
natural for man to indulge in the illu
sions of hope;" but if Mr. Tilden and
Mr. Hendricks really aspire to renoni
inations in 1S80 they will be doomed
to sore disapppointment. The well-iD-formed
New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger, discoursing on
this subject, says:
"A3 to Mr. Tilden and it seems to be
Mr. Hendricks opinion, in private
conversation, that the party, under the
circumstances, is in honor bound to re
nominate Mr. Tilden, which is but
another way of saying they are bound
in honor to renominate Mr. Hendricks
also. The Tammany leaders, however,
profuse as they may be of their com
pliments to these distinguished gentle
men, are showing remarkable ingenuity
in sttering clear of every expression
that might seem to commit them to the
future. They do not hesitate to declare
their conclusion that the nAt President
and Vice President will be demdtrats,
but they aro remarkably shy in ventur
ing an opinion as to who they should
be. Mr. Hendricks it is well known
never had a very lofty opinion of tho
straight-forwardness of the New York
politicians; their studied evasions, on
this occasion, are not apt to improve
it."
The Russians are pushing the Turks
on the Danube, and driving them ont
of their strongholds. The Turks, know
ing they will never return to Bulgaria,
are committing the most frightfulattro
cities. The harvest has been carried off,
the fruit trees felled, and the torch ap
plied to the large grass prairies, thus
adding famine ami pestilence to the
horrors of war for the unfortunate Bul
garians. Dispatches from Constantino
ple claim decided triumphs for the
Turks in Asia Minor. The Czar is with
the army on the Danube, and he tele
graphs that his forces have possession
of tho most of Bulgaria.
The Washington correspondent of
the Louisville Courier-Journal professes
to have heard Secretary Evarts a few
days ago, while speaking of the Mexi
can border troubles, express himself as
strongly opposed to any measure that
would result in the annexation of Mexi
can territory by the United States.
"This," the correspondent adds, "will
be a serious disappointment to some
enterprising and speculative gentlemen
who have recent -.figured at Washing
ton." The news from the Indian war since
onr last issue has not been of much im
portance. The Indians have located on
the south side of Salmon river in an al
most impregnable position, and Gen.
Howard is reported as going to attack
the savages "to-morrow," but that time
has failed to arrive up to the time of
going to press A big pow-wow was
held at Walla Walla on the 27th ult. by
the Walla Wallas, Cayuses, Nez Perces
and Umatillas, and all of the Indians
who were present affirmed their friend
ship for the "Boston man."
The telegraph brings accounts of se
vere wind and rain storms in Missouri,
Indiana and Ohio on Saturday night
and Sunday. Loss of life is reported
in several places, and great damage to
buildings and crops. When other
States are visited by calamities of this
kind why should we grumble because
there is a little more rain than we bar
gained for

The Congressional Committee, j
The Congressional Committee to in
vestigate the charges made against Gov.
Grover arrived in Portland last Thurs
day, and commenced its labors on Mon
day. We have no opinion to advance
as to what will be their fltial findings,
but we regard their visit as rather bene
ficial to the State if they will, after
concluding their labors, rievr the
various parts of our State bfore re
turning East. These men are repre
sentatives from the three great divisions
of the Atlantic States. Senator Mor
ton from Indiana; Senator Saulsbury
from Delaware, and Senator Mc M illan
from Minnesota. Mr. Morton is known
as the ablest man of his party in the
Senate, and Mr. McMillan has the con
fidence of all who know him in bis sec
tion, while Mr. Saulsbury is a man of
the highest character in his own party.
It is a jaotorious fact that the people
in the East, not only among the farm
ing classes, but among all classes, ap
pear to be utterly ignorant of Oregon,
her immense resources, agricultural
and other great advantages, f these
distinguished gentlemen do not ex-nd
their visit to tho vaiious parts cf o i-
State, they will be as ignorant as to its
real worth as they were before they
came. They will have seen nothing of
Oregon by confining themselves to Port
land. A visit to this city would show
these men one of the most beautiful
scenes in the great northwest. The
falls need only to be seen to convince
any man of judgment that the time
must come when this great power will
be used in driving the manufacturing
machinery of the Pacific Coast. We
have the locks, which have been con
structed through State and individual
enterprise, which are a monument to
the energy of our young State. Our
woolen mills have gained a national
reputation, and tourists cannot fail to
admire their completeness. It is true
that wo are yet in our infancy, but the
time is not far distant when Oregon
City will be the Lowell of this Coast.
Nature has made her such, whether the
citizens now here will take advantage
of it or mt. These are some of the at
tractions which are presented by onr
city. The State has an enviable repu
tation for her rich soil and extended
prairies. If these gentlemen propose
to go no further than Portland, they
will not know any more of their locali
ty and beauty than if they had never
visited our State. We hazard nothing
when we say that a finer country can
not 1 e f u id in the Union than that
on both sides of the Willamette river
from Portland to Eugene, and then on
to Roseburg. It is rich in everything
necessary to maVe a great State. Then
beyond that we have the Rogue River
Valley, at present "bottled up" And of
but little value, while it will prodnce
everything that can be raised in the
most favored portion of the land, be
sides its extraordinary mineral re
sources. The State is young, and we
have been knocking at the doors of
Congress t aid us in opening these
sections for years, and we feel confi
dent if these gentleman will only by
personal observation look into our
claims for aid, they will leave Oregon
firm and devoted friends. In order to
make this visit of practical benefit to
Oregon, ihese gentleman should inform
themselves as to the aid required to
make onr rivers serviceable in trans
porting our products, and the necessity
of assistance in opeii ;g other sections
which are not favored by water trans
portation. The people should invite
these gentlemen to view Ore
gon not only by railroad, but by
river from Portland to Corvallis,
and also on the Yamhill. This
would give them a partial idea of the
Willamette Valley.
We have still a gieat section of our
State which should not be neglected by
them. The great Columbia river from
the mouth of the Willamette to Lewis
ton should be seen. . Besides the beau
tiful scenery on its banks, there is east
of the Cascade mountains an extensive
section of country composed of many
valleys, any one of which, were there
an outlet for their productions, could
add to the wealth of the nation as much
as there is now contributed by the
great valley this side. They should in
form theinselves.of the actual justice of
our- demand for aid to construct the
locks and canal at the Cascades, and the
need of a railroad, from Portland to
connect us with the great west on the
other side. If they will but visit the
eastern portion of onr State, we feel
confident that they will see what Con
gress can do and what it ought to do
for this now isolated section of the
Union. These gentlemen are here
now, and we trust that they will be
patriotic enough to view our State, and
if they will, we have no fears but what
they will each become our champion
on the floors of Congress, and that this
visit, while it appears to be one of in
vestigation, will result in our finding
lasting and true friends from other
States and in gaining that consideration
before the nation which our State and
her great wealth demands. These men
should be received throughout ev
ery portion of Oregon, not an poli
ticians, but s leading representatives
of the nation; let them go from among
ns knowing that we are a part of the
great republic, and that the advance
ment and development of the oountry
is paramount to any political considera
tion.
The Weiseu Indians aro said to be
much afraid of the Nez Peroes, and

I COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY.
How to Write to the Newspapers,
The staid Burlington (Iowa) Ilaicleye
recently gave some advice to correspon
dents, which deserves the consideration
of persons -who undertake to write to
il. A m . ?& n!nfa arn
as follows:
"Never write 'with pen or ink. It is
altogether too plain, and doesn't hold
the mind of the editor and printers
closely enough to their work.
"I' you are compelled t use ink,
never use that vulgarity known as the
blotting pad. If you drop a blot of ink
on the paper, lick it off. The intelli
gent compositor loves nothing so dearly
as to read through the smear this will
make across twenty or thirty words. We
have seen him hang over such a piece of
copy for half an hour, ? wearing like a
pirate all the time, he felt o good.
"Don't try to write too plainly. It is
sign of plebeian origin and public
school breeding. Poor writing is an
indication of genius. It is about tbe
only indication of genius that a great
many men possess. Sprawl your article
with your eyes shut and make every
word as illegible as you can. We get
the same price for it from the rag man
as though if. were covered with copper
plate sentences.
"Avoid all painstaking with proper
names. We know the full name of ev
ery man. woman and child in the United
S ates, and the merest hint of the name
is sufficient. .If is a great mistake that
proper names should be written plainly.
"Always write on both sides of the
paper, and when you have filled both
sides of every page, trail a line up and
down every margin and back to the top
of the first page, closing your article by
writing the signature just above the
date. How we do love to get hold of
articles written in this style! And how
we would like to get hold of the man
who sends them. Just for ten minutes,
alone in the woods, with a cannon in
our hip pocket."
The War and the Suez Canal.
England's interest in the Suez Canal
and her effort to protect it from the in
terference of Russia will be better un
derstood in the light of the statistics
which our State Department has just
received from foreign parts. These are
important not only as showing the large
proportion of British vessels some sev
enty per centum that have passed
through that water-way since 18G7, but
also because they indicate that the canal
has already been a great loss to Egypt,
and is furthermore a positive and con
tinuous injury to her local interests.
England, it must be remembered, pur
chased 17G,G02 shares of tbe Khedive
in 1875, and after the year 1894 is enti
tled toreceivedividends on that umount,
which is more than seven sixteenths of
the four hundred thousand shares into
which the whole capital stock of the
canal company is divided. Her is an
other direct interest which prompts her
to establish a national or international
protectorate over the work.
One of the leading physicians of Lon
don has published a paper on zymotic
diseases, in which he contends that the
development of the whole group, in
cluding small-pox, chicken-pox, typhus
fever, typhoid or enteric fever, scarlet
fever, the plague, measles, whooping
cough and mumps, is due solely to con
tagion. He would adopt for the aboli
tion of these diseases a process analo
gous to that which proved so successful
in staying the cattle plague in 18C5 in
Great Britain. Of course ho does not
advocate the killing of the victims of
contagia, according to act of Parlia
ment, but he would have the State ex
ercise such power as will insure, first,'
the immediate isolation of a person af
fected; second, the thorough disinfec
tion of his body, clothes, furniture and
place of isolation, and third, vigilaut
and effectual measures to prevent the
importation of his disease from abroad,
and to strangle it should it by mis
chance return.
The Cincinnati Commercial finds that
all the Federal appropriations for rail
roads, canals, etc., from 1789 to 1875
amounted toabout$104,000,000,of which
S84.O00.O00 were for Pacific Railway
subsidies. "It adds:
"It' results from these figures that
what the Government is now asked to
guaranty for one single internal im
provement, the Southern Pacific Rail
road, demands as much almost as has
been expended in internal improvements
from 1789 to 1875, including the enor
mous Pacific Railway subsidies of eighty-four
millions. And a single one of
the great canal improvement schemes
now proposed in the South will cost
more than three times us much as the
Government laid out for every canal,
highway and military road constructed
or aided by the United States from the
beprinninpr until now."
Minister Pierrepont continues to make
John Bull laugh at his speeches, deliv
ered on every possible occasion. In his
race for the divinity of a title, he has
unconsciously crowned himself the King
of Gab.
Weiss beer is the only beer allowed
to be sold on Sundays in New York.
The sale is permitted on the assumption
that a man can drink a good deal of it,
and the law and the drinker be none the
weiss-er.
Jeff Davis, he who was President of
the Southern Confederacy, has deter
mined to afflict the country with his
memoirs. If he would only tell the
truth in them, what a book we should
have!
Every little while that inoome tax
suit against Mr. Tilden comes to the
surface, and we are reminded "that
things are not what they seem," and
that that suit was not a political faint.
There will be a surfeit of state tiokets

Charleston, June 29. A delegation
of South Carolina negroes are prepar
ing to go to Washington to insist upon
the recognition of their race in the dis
tribution of federal offices in this State.
Their grievances are understood to be,
not that colored men have been ignored,
but that colored recipients of federal
offices have been exclusively mulattoes,
showing a prejudice against blackmen
of whom tbe Republican party in South
Carolina is almost entirely composed.
The compositors of the N. Y. Tribune

A resolution endorsing Hayes and his

Two colored men were appointed

Insurance Commissioner Stedman
certifies there is a deficit of over $2,000- j
000 in the assets of the Charter Oak
Life Insurance Co., of Hartford, Con
necticut. New York, June 30. The Tribune's
Washington special says: Three prom
inent customs collectors, Worthington
of Charleston, ex-Collector Dunn and
Internal Revenue Collector Broyton. of
California, say tho Republicans ran
no ticket at the recent special election
in Charleston county, because, with
the experience of the Orangeburg elec
tion fresh in their minds, they were
convinced if they should carry the
county the Democrats would, count
them out. In Orangeburg co inty, at
the special election for members of the
legislature, a Republican competitor
was beaten by throwing out three pre
cincts m a palpably unlawlnl manner.
Republicans in Charleston nominated a
compromise ticket on which they put
ten leading men, who were Democrats,
and only seven of their own party. All
the Democrats declined. Afterwards
the Democratic convention made up a
ticket of 14 white Democrats and three
collored men. The Republicans then
gave up all action, and allowed the
electiou to go by default. It appears
that Bowen. who runs the Republican
party in Charleston county, found no
body willing to contribute mney to
make the campaign, and concluded the
best course was to let the Democrats
have their own way. The negroes, as a
rule, didn't vote at all. Dunn says tbe
Democratic deligation elected is a good
one, a number being Conservative men,
who will counterbalance the extreme
Bourbons from the up-country, who
shaped to a great extent the legislation
of last year.
Chicago, June 30. The Times New
Orleans special says Wells and Ander
son of the Louisiana returning board,
have been indicted for larceny in hav
ing made away with certain returns aud
documents pertaining to the election of
187G," and for having published false re
cords wiMi intent to defraud. The pen
alty is imprisonment for 14 years.
New Okleans, Jnne 30. Informa
tion has been tiled against Weldon for
shooting with intent to kill Mr.
Packard in February last. It is stated
Nicholls will make a requisition oa the
Governor of Pennsylvania for Wcldon's
return.
New York, July 2. The Suns Wash
ington special says the President in
conversation expressed him-elf very de
cidedly in regard to his civil service
order. It had not been issued, he said,
without full knowledge of the fact that
it would cause trouble, and cost the
Republican party a few votes at start
ing, which he felt would in time return.
Of the enforcement of the order Hayes
spoke with great determination, and
said the first officeholder who took part
in the management of the party would
be summarily removed. After the can
didates were nominated Hayes said
there would be no objection made to an
officeholder's voting for them or work
ing so far as it did not interfere with
the discharge of official duties them
selves. He did not propose to disfran
chise officeholder, but he did not in
tend to permit them to take part in tho
management of the party. In regard
to the action of the Iowa convention,
Hayes said the Southern question was
settled. What had been done could
not be undone, and expressions of opin
ion on the subject were useless.
Washington, June 30. Democratic
managers will spend considerable money
in circulating documents in Ohio on
the currency question, and take active
measures to carry the State. A number
of very prominent Democrats have
agreed to engage in the canvas. Mem
bers of the Democratic national com
mittee feel confident that the Presi
dent's order forbidding federal officials
participating in the campaign will have
the effect to weaken the Republican
State committee in Ohio so as to render
a Democratic victory certain. Repub
lican managers here, however, take a
different view.
New York, July 2. Oakley S. Bar
ker, aged 22, grandson of the late Com
modore Vanderbilt, has been arrested
on a charge of stealing a gold watch
chain from a young woman whom he
knew. It is said Barker, yesterday, the
day be spent in court and in the Tombs,
came into the possession of an annual
income of 10,000.
Caicaso, Jnly 1. The Time's Colum
bus, Ind., special says a destructive
storm passed over Johnson county last
night. The house of a Mr. Brunner
was demolished and the entire family,
five in number, instantly killed. An
immense number of cattle were killed
and crops nearly totally destroj-ed. As
far as heard from twelve persons have
been killed and fifteen wounded. There
are fears that the number of deaths will
be increased when particulars are heard.
Cincinnati, July 1.' Another terrific
hurricane swept through central Ohio
last night, doing considerable damage
to orops, fences, outbuildings, and in
some instances causing more serious
losses. Near Richmond, Indiana, a
large tree was blown on a bridge while
two men were crossing in a buggy. One
was instantly killed and the other dan
gerously wounded. A number of dwell
ings were damaged, but no other casu
alties reported. Springfield, Mount
Vernon, Zanesville, Canal, Dover and
other small towns suffered considerable
from violence of the wind.
Cincinnati, July 2. As advices come
in from points remote from the tele
graph, it is evident that the storm of
wind and rain of Saturday night was
even more destructive than the previous
one. Its path seemed to have been
through the counties of Indiana and
Ohio lying a little south of the center
of the States. At Waverly, Johnson
county,Indiana,about if o ciock ac mgui,
the storm struck the residence of Geo.
Dressier, blowing it entirely away.
Dressier was found near by badly in
jured. His wife and three children
five and three years old were killed"
outright. Another child, 12 years old,
died yesterday. Another child, 9 years
old, received a scalp wound. The resi
dence of Joseph Armstrong, near by,
was blown down, killing one child.
Another has since died. Near St. Paul,
Mo., a.nnmber of barns, dwellings,
churches and school houses were entire
ly destroyed. Michael Meheslich was
killed, Mrs. Bicker fatally injured, C.J.
Uppenlatz injured internally and John
Lewis' collar bone broken. At Jolly,
Ind., a new church was utterly torn to
pieces. Farmers lost very heavily. A
large number of cattle were killed, fen
ces leveled, and barns and out houses
destroyed. In the vicinity of Colum
bus county, Ind., it is estimated the
damage is $50,000.
Foreign.
London, June 30. Gen. Grant in
tends to leave England immediately
after the 4th of July, and will go to
Belgium, Switzerland. Norway, Sweden
and Russia in the order named. On
his return from Russia he will spend
some time in Paris.
The disagreement in the British cab
inet is still the subject of much com
ment among the outer party in Eng
land. Lord Baconsfield is the only
one of the ministers who is positively
in favor of immediate action on the
part of the government. Her Majesty's
confidential advisers do not get on ami
cably in their political relations and
resignations of at least two of her min
isters mav be looked for tt anv moment.

"My horse was lame for a year with a fet

cure, and I considered him worthless, until I
commenced to use Centaur Liniment, which
ranidly cured him. I heartily recommend it "
It makes very little difference whether the

of any kind, the effects are the same. Th
great power of tho Liniment is,however,sh.wn
in Foil-evil, P.ig-head, sweeny. Spavin, Ring

CANCER CAN HE CURED.
Cancer has from time immemorial been a
great scourge to the human race, and is now
becoming the greater. For many years it has
been held by the medical profession, and gen
erally believed by the fieople, that Cancer is
incurable ; that once its roots take hold upon
a victim, there is no chance for a sufferer to
escape a lingering and terribledeath ; a death
surrounded by all that is disgusting and hor
rible, not only t the sufferer, but o his
friends. Happily this fell dest rover need no
longer be feared. lr. IL T. Bond, of Phi -delphia,
a well known physician, of large ex
perience, has for four years devoted himself
to the special study and treatment of Cancer,
and the nsult of his experience is his dis
covery f. r the radical cure of Cancer, without
the use of either knife, caustic or plasters,,
and without pain
The majority of persons are greatly deceived:
in regard to t he first smtoms and appear
ance of this most dreaded disease, considering
it painful from the commencement. This is
a sad ntistake, carrying thousands to an un
timely grave. In most, cases there is little or
no pain until the disease is far advanced.
The only symptoms tor many months, and
even for years, are occasitnally a stingine,
darting, stabbing, shoot intr, smarting, itch
ing, burning, crawling or creeping sensation,
and some cases not any or these. If
malady is growing worse instead of
better, it is Conclusive evidence it is of a
malignant character, and demands imme
diate attention. If you have a branny R,
warty apiH-arance, with an occasional break
ing out of these upon t he face, lip or nose, or
any other portion of the skin, attended wit n
any of the above svmptoms, oi a sensation oi
a fly being on it, of a hair tickling it, w 'r;
tain evidence it is Cancer, and there snouia
be no delay in using Dr. Bond's treatment.
Life is too valuable to be tampered with.
Dr. Bond's treatment consists of an Anti
dote" that is applied locally : this at once ar
rests the growth of the Cancer, and by nP;"'
cal action neutralizes its malignity, naT"
ing it harmless and changing it to a s,lnil'' ,
sore, which nature, assisted by rnrt"uV",,n!
remedies, soon heals when the skin is "
broken, and the Cancer is a hard tumor, inc
