CANCER.


The following article is copied from
an Edinburgh paper:
"Whlle was at Smyrna, there was
girl afflicted with the Cancer in her
lip, and the gum was affected. The
European physicians consulted on the
measures to be taken, and agreed that
they saw no other method than TO cut
1t ont and the girl had already sub
mitted herself to that decision. BY an
accident of that nature which men cam
not account for, an old Armenian came
to them just in time to prevent the APP
plication OF the knife.
ado nothing" said the Armenian,
81 will cure her" and when he had
pledged himself strongly, the physi-
Clans consented.
" He procured copper vessel, new
~ timed in the. inside IAN essential
ooncurrence,) and having poured a
certain quantity of olive oil into it, he
made it boil over small hire, sufh-
GENTLY to keep it gently agitat.d, and
50 lll'CC All bou'S'
this, the oil resolved itself to the con-
sistency of an ointment, and by con-
stan,ly rubbing the part affected, he
cured her in Is days---Nothing else
was done.
The physicians supposed that the
oil received its virtue from the tin, and
that IL was communicated by its long
boiling over the fire."
ImEortant TO Earmers.--Brake of
the blows or flowers Of the potatoe
tops, as they are about forming into APP
pies, it will increase the quantity one
half.-Try the experiment, leave some
hills, and examine for yourselves.
