T THE City Directory is the most effective and most economical method of reaching all the people all the time. Those who buy without looking at the list of those who sell do themselves great injustice. The classified lists in the Business Directory form the best Buyers' Guide on earth. A modern up-to-date method of getting what you want.

HOSPITALS


CANCER mortality in the U. S. last year was 120,000. A great per- centage of these people lost their lives through ignorance.


Because of the urgent need of edu- cating the public as to the true nature and characteristics of the disease ; its cause and proper treat- ment; G. C. Bohannon, manager of the' Bohannon Cancer Institute, of Berkeley, Calif., has written and compiled a book entitled "Practical Information on Cancer," which will be mailed gratis to anyone, on re- quest. You may phone, write or call.


THE BOOK contains more prac- tical, beneficial and educational in- formation than any book yet printed. Cancer mortality is rapidly increas- ing all over the civilized world.


In 1907 California had 59.9 deaths from cancer in each 100,000 popula- tion. In 1929 this death rate from can- cer had increased to 146.4 in each 100,- 000 population.


The reduction of this appalling death rate is squarely up to the people. Early treatment is the answer.


The book clearly explains the fail- ure of the knife, X-ray and radium in cancer.


The Bohannon Treatment has been successfully used in this Institution for 23 years. Will gladly refer you to hundreds cured all over the Pacific slope.
