The Disease eaned .can<er.s
FL IETTETILLE. a. G.

n contemporary has very truly remarked
that this disease is almost universally al,nittr,
by the medical fraternity, all over the world. to
he one Of the most ii.cnrable naiadies that ever
afflicted the human race. 4 cancer patient
therefore, is admonishesl to prepare for death
as soon as the true character of the disease is
developed This is the reason why the word
cancer sounds SO fearfully to the human ear The
difficulty or in majority Of cases, the absolute
impossibility, to it,, has for centuries
created the impression that tuesdays ofa cancer
patient numbered.
Such was flie admitted edition of the
medical world untilea few vearss a:yrss when 1t
was first promulgated that in the Southern
section of the United States, there lived man
who could cure cancer and that man was DIR.
Samuel Gilbert, of Memphis, Tennessee. DR..
G. subsequently removed to New Orleans,
where he effected many wonderful cur,s; and
afterwards to New York, where he now resides.
He has associated with him in the trentncnt of
this disease, his son-i,I-law, DIR. Jacob l..
kennedy, and has Office at 746 Broadway.
We have before us a pamphlet from these
gentlemen, containing testimonials from several
of the most distinguished men of the country,
many Of whom he has cffectually cured of
cancer. Among others, notice the names OF
Ex-Governor j. NJ. Tucker, of Miss, Judge
J. w. Hulng Capt Isaiah Sellers; A S.
Baldwin, NJ. d. Hon. Z. Butler King, formerly
of Ga; Gen. Narcisso Lopez; Capt. VIM.
Leathers, w. =. Allison, NJ. d. Judge Alex
Walker, of New Orleans, Col Maunsel White:
DR.. Thos E. Bond late editor of the New York
Christian Advocate and journal; Rev Moses
Brock, of Tenn. Conferences; Rev. William
McMahon of Tenn, and Drs. Gabbrrt,
Weaver and Curtis, of Memphis 1t will be
perceived that many of these testimonials are
from persons of eminence, and We have every
reason to believe that all of them are from
persons Of rreproachac character, who would
under no circumstances, and mere especially in
a case of this kind, where they have end
| to other than the cause OF snffo foring
| humanity certify to anything but that which
they knew to be true and above suspicion.
With such evidence before us, we do not hesitate
to recommend DR.. Gilbert to all who are
suffering with this terrible malady. He does
no. use the knife bnt has il remedy, known
only 70 himself, which in four out of ever.
/ five effects permanent cure, and rarely ever
requires more than three four weeks te
accomplish the object, even when the disease
has assumed its worst form. Any one desiring
| pamphlet can obtain it by addressing DIR
