IMPORTANT IF TRUE.-A recent number
of the Milwaukee True Democrat contains
Il statement which is Of value to the inedi-
cal profession. That paper saws:
Some eight months ago, Mr.. 7. Mason,
who kept music store OH Washington
street, and his brother Of the well known
Lowell Mason, ascertained that lie had "a
cancer on his face Of the size of pea. 1t was
cut out by DR.. Walco,t, and the wound
partially healed. Subsequently, it grew
again, and while he was in Cincinnati on
business, it attained the size of hickory
nut. lie has remained there since Chris
mas under treatment and has come back
perfectly cured. The process is this:
A piece Of sticking plaster was put over
the cancer, with circular piece cut out of
the centre little larger than the cancer, so
that the cancer and small circular rim of
healthy skin next to it were exposed. Then
a plaster made of chloride OF zinc, blood
root and wheat flower was spread on n bit
Of muslin Of the size of this circular open-
ing, and applied to the cancer for TWEEN
tytour hours.
On removing it the cancer will be found
TO be burned into, and appear of the color
and hardness Of an old shoe SOLE. and the
circular rim outside Of it will appear white.
and parboile'l, as if scaldeh by hot steam.
The wound is now dressed, and the outside
RIM soon suppura'es, and the cancer comes
out a hard lump, and the place heals
up.
The plaster kills the cancer, so that i,
slo"ghs like dead flesh and never grows out
again.
This remedy was discoved by Dr.. Fell. o
London, and has been used 10y him far six
or eight years with unfaling success. and
not case has been known Of the re-appear
ance OF the cancer where this remedy has
been applied. 1t has the sanction Of the
most eminent physicians and surgeons ol
London. bnt has not until recently been
used in this country, and many of the fac
ulty, with their proverbaI opposition 10 in
novations, look upon it with distrust.
