CANCER.

A N interesting case cured By DR.. d.
a Jdyne'S AHeratiVe,- In the spring
Of 1881, a Cancerous tumor appeared in
the right breast Of Mrs Phoebe, wife OF
Peter Stretch, Of Salem, N J. 1t was
examined by many physicians, and was
considered by all as generous, nd be
sides bore all the characteristic marks
Of one. All probable means or remov-
ing il were used without the slightest
benefit 1t continued to increase both
in size and paln(ulness, until all hope Of
saving her life, but by a painful opera
ton, was abandoned, which, after a con
sultatlon of en- physicians, IA
performed, Jan. LIST 1889, by Dr. John
Rhea Barton, assisted BY Dr. Redman,
DIR, Jay ne, and Two other medical gen
iIemen. The whole and entire right
breast was removed, and after exanina-
ton Of the tumor, was pronounced by
all present a cancer OF the most malig
nant cha racter. In about three months
after enduring incredible sufferings, she
was enabled, though broken 10 spirit, to
get about again She remained feeble,
and her generel health was exceedingly
bad, as indeed it had been for several
we RS before. In the spring Of 1887,
upwards Of five years after her breast
had been removed, a painful tumor made
its appearance on the right side, imme.
diately yer the part formerly occupied
by the nipple Of the right breast, pre-
vious to its removal. This tumor stea-
Oily increased for several months, and
became SO painful as TO deprive her OF
rest. The glands under the right arm
were enlarged; and Scirrhus, and a hard
irregular, and at times painful tumor,
appeared in the lef, breast. No opera
ton could now arrest the disease. In
deed her whole body appeared to be a
mass Of disease. Her case was consid,
cred hopeless. She was Of a very Scro-
fulous habit, 9th Of her parents having
died Of Pulmonary Consumption. The
experiment was now made with this
Aheratipe. 1t vas at first given in small
doses, three times a day, and the doses
very gradually, but steadily increased
daily as long as she took it, which was
about six months, and the skin over and
around the tumor was wet night and
morning with a strong solution Of H..
dine and Hydriodate Potash. The tu-
NOR continued increasing in size for a
bout six weeks, and was at times very
painful, when the pain suddenly ceased
altogether, and the tumor swelled out at
the base, and became soft, and then be-
gan to diminish and continued gradually
decreasing until every vestige OF disease
was removed. The tumor il her left
breast, and those in the right axilla we're
also dispersed. No Cancerous or Scro.
fulous tumors ever appeared afterwards;
and her general health, which had been
so bad for fourteen years as to make life
a burthen, wa effectually and perma
nentlycured. The proprietor is in pos
session of tie diseased breast, and those
who choose may examine il. He would
also say, hat he could mention over a
cases equally interesting, wherein
his Alternative has subdued Cancer and
Cancerous tumors, as we'll as immense
numbers Of Goitres and Bronchocele.
