Advertisement in The Ottawa Daily News for Wednesday,

DR. WOOD.

Sparks street and Maria street, Ottawa, Ont. Cancer cured by a new, but certain, speedy and nearly painless process, and without the use of the knife. The cure will be guaranteed, and, as a proof of this, no pay is required until the cure is complete. The moment a cancer is discovered, it should be cured than when of longer standing, and there is nothing to gain, and everything to lose by delay. What now seems a harmless lump in the breast, neck, eyelid, or elsewhere or small wart or sore on the lip, may in a few short months, become a hideous, disgusting, destroying mass of disease. If required, references can be given to parties who have been cured many years since, and who are now sound and healthy. All communications promptly" answered.
