This man asked me if we had any pamphlets on cancer, and although he was not a doctor said he was much interested in finding out all the lat- est ideas about the cause, treatment, etc., of this great scourge of mankind. I told him that the origin of cancer was still unknown, but there were many scientists to -day who -were be- ginning to feel that our present cus- tom of eating foods not in their na- tural states had something to do with the cause of stomach and intestinal cancers.

Second: It has been sug- gested that the alleged increase of cancer has coincided with intensive production by machinery, commonly associated, as it is, with a compara- tively sedentary life of tho operators. Third; One night hazard such an- other suggestion as the poisoning of the air of cities by carbon monoxide fumes from the exhaust of motors with its deterioration or lowering of health. Fourth: The "wearing out" of our body cells 'due "to the greater intensity of modern life inducing a much earlier pre-semile state which we know is conducive to malignant disease. Fifth: Notwithstanding that serums and vaccines have been used for more than thirty years, no single case .has beenreported associating. their use with cancer. Sixth: Coley's Fluid, as you know, has been used for at least thirty years for the treatment of sarcoma. So it wonld seem as far as our present knowledge goes that serum 'inoculation is not associated in any way with the cause of cancer.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do one thing, and do it well. They butte up the blood, increasing the number of red corpuscles.

As the blood im- proves in quality the tissues of the body are better nourished and the functions of the body ere better per. formed, This Is the reason Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills have been so'sac- eassful in the treatment of diseases due to poor, thio blood, and it is also the reason why they are so successful in building up strength after fevers and acute diseases.

During my girlhood Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had brought me through a severe at- tack of anaemia, and my mother urged that I should try them again. The doctor could not understand why we wanted to try these pills, but we de tided to do so. ,After taking six boxes a decided change was taking place, 1 was actually getting hungry and anxi- ous to live. After using twelve boxes a miracle was worked.
