=THE CANCER SCOURGE= =and How to Destroy it.=

By ROBERT BELL, M.D., F.R.F.P.S.

_Price_ ONE SHILLING _Net (post free 1/2)._

The latest pronouncement by this eminent Cancer Specialist on the most terrible disease of our times.

* * * * *

This book is written by a Physician who has witnessed many cures of advanced cases of Cancer, and who speaks from the standpoint of forty years' experience.

It contains 20 Art Plates, illustrating diagnoses from the Blood when highly magnified, and proves by these object lessons the curability of Cancer and the efficacy of treatment by Fruitarian Diet and Radium.

A FEW PRESS OPINIONS.

"It is ... interesting and suggestive ... and it deserves a wide circulation."--_Manchester Courier._

"Every year, in England and Wales, 30,000 people die of Cancer--all of which deaths are preventible. Dr. Bell's methods of preventing them are clearly and forcibly given, once again, in this little book."--_Daily Mirror._

"The wide prevalence of this terrible disease demands that attention should be given to all endeavours to destroy it, and Dr. Bell is an authority whose words should be carefully studied and acted upon."--_Northern Whig._

"This interesting little treatise is an able presentation of the natural method of dealing with Cancer."--_Two Worlds._

"Dr. Bell is strongly of opinion that the Scourge is amenable to cure, and his remedy is the use of Radium in conjunction with a special kind of Fruitarian Diet. When one considers that every known remedy of the past has failed and that this suggested cure has no revolting methods, such as the knife of the surgeon, it should certainly receive the attention it merits."--_American Register._

"The book should be worth reading to those interested in the subject."--_Irish News._

"He (Dr. Bell) deems 'dietetic purification essential,' and explains his system, and it must be acknowledged that he is backed by very strong evidence, which he gives. His little volume is worthy of the closest consideration by all concerned."--_Letchworth Citizen._

=THE GOLDEN MEAN.=

White flour is a clogging constipating food that paves the way to appendicitis, etc. Coarse wholemeal irritates the digestive tract and wastes the nourishment that should remain in the body.

="ARTOX" Pure Wholemeal is the Golden Mean.=

It contains every atom of the wheat, but so finely ground that it will not irritate the most delicate digestion. Its regular use acts like magic in keeping the internal organs clear and clean.

YOU CAN MAKE EVERYTHING with it, even sponge cakes, AND IT MAKES EVERYTHING NICER.

=Our Handsome Booklet=

"Grains of Common Sense," will tell you more about "ARTOX" and give you recipes for a veritable banquet of delight. _Send for a post free copy now._

"ARTOX" is sold by Health Food Stores and Grocers, 3-lb., 7-lb., 14-lb. sealed linen bags; or 28lb, sent direct, carriage paid, for 5s.

=The Rise of the Wholemeal Biscuit=

and especially of "Ixion" Biscuits into popular favour is a good sign of the times. There is a great demand for wholemeal bread and so-called standard bread just now, but

=GOOD BISCUITS ARE BETTER THAN THE BEST BREAD.=

The wise Food-Reformer prefers wholemeal biscuits to bread because they not only give much-needed work to the teeth but induce the flow of saliva and so assist the digestive organs most materially.

="IXION BISCUITS"= are made from the finest wheat most finely ground by our own stone mills. =They are altogether free from yeast and all chemical adulterants= and preservatives (including salt).

They are ideal food for growing children, as they contain everything needed for good blood, bone, muscle, and nerve. The following may be obtained at all Health Food Stores, or will be sent direct at prices quoted.
