Remarkable Gases in Snrgery,

Having always heard and been taught
to believe that cancerous diseases were
the most dangerous and difficult to cure
of any known, and hearing of some very
remarkable cures made by Dr. 0. E.
Newton, of this city, we have been in
duced to investigate the matter, hoping
to benefit those so painfully afflicted, by
examining some of the cases he has had
and some who are still under his treat
ment. Iu doing so, we have visited his
Office frequently, and will make brief
mention of some of the cases referred
to.
Mr.. Lewis Lancaster, of Harrisburg,
Ky, who has had cancer of the face,
but who is now nearly cured and ready
to go home 1t has been of years
standing, but now seems to be entirely
removed and the wound rapidly healing.
Also, Mr. Geo. Rainey, of the same
place, having very angry cancer cover
ing ths entire back of the hand, and as
bad as it is possible to exist, is being
successfully treated. and is rapidly yield
ing to the attention given it. A re-
markable fact attending this case is,
that the patient, although receiving ac-
tive treatment from the Doctor, expert
ences less pain than before he commence
ed the treatment
He is in fine spirits, and only regrets
not having applied sooner, instead of re-
ceiving attention from physicians who
had not a very extensive knowledge OF
this disease We also saw Mr. Holman,
from Mercer county, Ky, who had ma

cured, and would leave for home in a
few days Mr.. Holman had previously
received treatment from other surgeons
before applying to DR.. Newton, and with
out success or gaining any relief He
expresses himself as we'll satisfied with
the cure Miss Forsyth, who resides on
Freeman street, in this city, had just
been cured and discharged; she had
upon her right cheek a cancer of ten
years standing, and measuring, in
length, some two inches. She informs
US that she had also been under treat
ment without any beneficial result, be
fore submitting to the care of the subject
of this article. Mrs. Jane A. Dough
erty, of Mount Holly, Clermont county
Ohio, who had just been cured of cancer
of the face, gives another proof of the
mastery held over this disease by DR.
Newton
In looking over the Doctors cabine
of morbid specimens, we found bancer:
and tumors removed and cured by him
of every stage in growth and character
The case of Judge Caldwell, of Uppei
Sandusky, Ohio, of cancer of the face O
long standing, and which caused hin
great apprehension, was successfully
treated George Goslin, Bevis P. o.
Hamilton county, Ohio, cancer of tn,

the same place, and cancerous speci

tire side of the neck, and extending t
