Of sllvo. This for time checked the disease
but the inflammation soon increased lneyt called
on Dr. Satlcr of 81. Clairs vile, Bedford county,
who also pronounced the disease Cancer and ap-
piled salvc said to be n never failing remedy
but it had no effect whntyeri in checking the spread
of the sore. In December Of the same year, the
disease had eaten away greater part Of my upper
