A CANCER CAsE.-In common with
hundreds of citizens of this county, we
can testify our knowledge of Mr.. Dun
mire's case, having seen him repeatedly
while afflicted to such an extent that we
had little expectation Of meeting him
again alive and in apparent good health.
He was formerly Commissioner Of this
county, has always sustained the character
of christian and highminded gentleman,
and his statement therefore may be implic-
lily relied upon. Although in the nature
of an advertisement, we publish the state
ment at a moderate charge, because of in
terest to many afflicted persons
For five years l have been afflicted with
cancer on my lip, and also on the cheek be-
low the eye. For two years paid but little
attention to it, from the fact that | did not
know what it was. | consulted some physi
Clans who told me they the ught it was not
cancer, and that if it was not troublesome, /
should not touch it, but let it alone. Meet
ing with doctor of neighboring county,
who was considered by many to be able to
cure cancer | requested him to examine my
lip. He pronounced it cancer. | asked him
if he could cure it. He said he thought he
could. went Immediately and stayed with
him about two weeks, during which time he
applied his medicine every day, and removed
lump or tumor, and sent me home as cured,
except healing it up, requesting me to come
back if it did not heal in two or three weeks,
