I'll Cure tor Cdacer.--We feel tha
we cannot better or more proftabl,
fill a small space in the Remep, a
the present time, than by giving t
Its readers cure for that distressing
land hitherto considered incurabl
disease cqneer. There is no Aunaku,
Habout it; and We hope all VIII . are af
l|hicted in that way will read and pu
Into practice the information which
we are about to communicate.
II Our friend, Mr.. George Bennett
who is well known in this and seve ver-
81 adjoining counties, has been fol
/ years severely afflicted with a candv
on his nose, and has suffered i'm
mensely for years; and had been
treated blythe best physicians of this
and adjoining States, without success,
until within the past year, he heard
from kind friend that there was a
remedy fof the disease; and was i D.
dhced to try it against the recon-
mendatiols and Temonstrances Of his
friends.
The reIh hedy is a simple one, an d
can do no harm; and as it has cured
Mr.. Bennett, he is anxious that all
who are similarly afflicted should
know wha ! has wrought the cure in
him. 4
He procured about peck of clean
lied Oak bark, by first cutting off
the rough outside, and put it into a
vessel containing about two gallons
of water, which he boiled over slow
fire until the ooze became quite
,Aahen he strainedit through |
a cloth TO remove all the. particles Of
bark. Then he again put it into a
clean vessel and simmered it over a
slow fire till it came to the consisten-
ey of molasses, when it is ft'for use.
1t is then spread upon piece ofsilk,
or thor soft rag, and applied to the
lisea ased part. He used about two
reshi plasters each week, until the
lancer was removed and the wound
lealed. He says it Isl pot painful,
put he believes it ain inElllfble RENE
y. al all events, he feels such
lvely gratitude for his own deliver

grey-haired old gentleman steps for

beside the grave. The bearers throH

fall heavily upon the coffin. The
