nounced cancer then went for advice and
was informed that the disease had gone be-
yond the reach of the knife, from the fact
that the glands Of my neck were affected. end
therefore to cut would only add to my suffer
ing. All that could be done for me was
course of constitutional treatment and then
no promise Of anything certain. | then went
to see two other eminent surgeons, one of
them being from home. The other pronoun-
ced it cancer and thought it yet durable with
the knife, seeming anxious to cut. My chesk
below the eye being sore. the centre and side
of the lower lip being an open sore, and the
glands being enlarged, inquired ofhim how
much he would have to cut away in order to
effect cure. He answered me by saying be
would not hurt me-he would give me lit
tie ether. This answer did not satisfy my
mind, and | asked him how large piece he
would have to cut away. lie then answered
me by saying "I'll cut all the disease away"
Wishing to be true to my instructions went
back TO him by whose advice | was to be gov,
erned God bless him-he was so candid. |
told him what had been said about cutting it
away. lie looked at me moment and then
said, My dear friend, have no doubt that
| he and others who are expert with the knife
would be willing to cut but tell you hon.
estly as friend the knife can never effect
cure in your case" All that could be done
was course of treatment as he first named.
Having been informed that q course of con-
stituti0nal treatment could not possibly cure
cancer, all it could would be to retard its
progress. and that would surely last while be-
ing treated, so | returned home. After my
return the doctor that had been treating me
! first came to see me and gave me his opinion
that he could still cure me if | would come
home with him. | did so, and was with him

moved that part of the disease on my cheek
below the eye. 1t healed up. He also in
formed me that the disease was removed from
the lip All that was to do was to heal it up.
| But could not get it healed.
| After some time | went to Baltimore
| Meeting with but little encouragement, | re-
| turned without having anything done. Our
most eminent physicians told me they thought
! | never could be cured if even | could get the
! tumor removed from the lip. 1t would then
| break out on my neck or in the mouth, which
would add to my suffering, then concluded
! to do nothing more, and submit patiently t
| whatever was before me. Receiving intelli-
! geLce by some friends that there was per-
! son in the State Of Ohio who could cure al
most any case of cancer, and being strongly
urged by my friends TO go, | went, and en-
| dured course of treatment without deriv

coming quite feeble, some times my lip would
( bleed quite freely, discharge more or less all
the time, with an odor 50 offensive that or

as patiently as | could to submit to Him who
will not suffer a sparrow to fall without his
notice For more than year | made no
further effort to get it cured. The tumor
grew out and rolled down towards my chin,
and became quite burden to me. No one
| that saw me affected thought that it was pos
! sible for me to be cured. In December, 1859,
| Mr.. Dull Of McNeytown, requested me to 90
and see Mr.. Dill, near Kittaning, Armstrong
! county, who was said to have a cure for can
! Ger, also handing me letter from his son,
! A. j. Dull, giving information of some most
/ remarkable cures he had performed. The
| son and Mr. Dull himself urged me very
| strongly to 90 and see him. Notwithstand-
! ing all the efforts that / had made to get cur
ed had failed informed him that had quit
{ a year ago doing anything further, as had
! been informed by the most eminent physic
/ ians that never could be cured. He e.
quested me to write to him and tell him all
/ that | had done and what the doctors said
! about it, | did So Received his answer i'm
mediately saying from what said about my
case it was exceedingly bad, but he believed
! he had cured as bad cases, if not worse
/ But he could not give an opinion unless he
! could see me. Mr.. Dull still urging me to go,
concluded to do So But must confess that it
was more to satisfy him and few of my
! friends that | went, than expecting cure,
| for my hopes of cure had fed. When
! Mr.. Dill examined my case. he told me it was
a bad one, and if did not get it stopped soon,
| | could not expect to live long. Bot there

plcation and to the astonishment of myself
and all that knew me- have been cured
My lip is gone, but entirely healed. There
has not been any appearance up to this time
! of the disease returning. My general health
has become quite good. My advice would be
to all that are afflicted with the terrible dis
ease, to apply imrAediately to Mr.. Dill for
his remedy is the most sure and certain that
can be had. Any number of witnesses can
be procured to prove that Mr.. Dill has cured
! great many cases of cancer, and some that
had been very stubborn. / have seen FIVE per-
sons that were cured by him. Mr.. Dill is a
quiet, unassuming christian gentleman, and
so moderate in charges that none need dis
pair on account of it being out of their reach.
If there are any that have doubts regarding
my statement | will refer them to Mr.. G.
Dull of McVeytown, who is we'll known
throughout the State, having been Canal Com
missioner. Gen. John Ross of the same
place, who also is we'll acquainted with my
case. He travelled with me some time while
going to and from some of the places named,
and also furnished me with material aid
Col. Pemplon of Kittanning and Mr. Bavard
near that place, are two gentlemen who were
cured by Mr.. Dill. The latter, Mr.. Bavard's 8
case, was a remarkable one. Persons will do
we'll to inquire of him to know what Mr..
Dill's medicine will do. Those wishing to
write to Mr.. Richard Dill, will please direct
to Daviss post Office, Armstrong county, Pa.
