The Richmond palladium., 1863-10-16


Having always heard and been taught TO
believe that cancerous diseases we're the
mos, dangerous and difficult to cure OF any
known. and bearing ofnADA very remsfka-
ble cures made by Dr.. Newton, of this
city, We have been ndsced To investigate
the matter. hoping to benefit those so pain
fully afflicted. by examining some of the
cases he has had. and some who are still
under his treatment. In doing so. We have
visited his office frequently. and will make
bret mention of some cases referred to.
Mr.. Lewis Lancaster. of Harrisburg. Ky.
who las 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 wouad
rapidly healing. Also. Mr.. Geo. Rsiney. of
the same place. having q very angry cancer
covering the entire back of the hand. and as
bad as it is possible to exist Is being sue
cessfully treated, and is rapidly yielding to
the attention given it. A remarkable fac,
attending this case is. tha. the patient. al
though receiving active treatment from the
Doctor, experience less pain than before he
commenced the treatment.
He was in fine spirits, and only regrets
ing attention from physicians who had not
a very extensive knowledge of this disease.
We also saw Mr.. Holman, from Mercer CO..
Ky. who had a malignant cancer Of the lip,
who has nearly cured, aud would leave for
home in few days. Mr.. Holman had pre-
viously received treatment from other sur
geons before applying to DR.. Newton. and
without success or gaining any relief. lie
expresses himself as we'll satisfied with the
cure. Miss Forsythe. who resides on Free
man street. in this city. had just been cured
and discharged; she had upon he. right
cheek a cancer of tenyears' standing. and
measuring, in length, some ten inches She
informs us that she had also been under
treatment withou, any beneficial results. be-
fore submitting to the care OF the subject Of
this Article. Mrs. Jane A. Dougherty. o!
Mt. Holly, Clermont CO.. O., who had just
been cured of a cancer Of the face, gives an
other proof Of the mastery held over this
disease by DR.. Newton.
In looking over the Doctors cabinet of
morbid specimens, We found cancers and
tumors removed and curcd by him. Of every
stage in growth and character. The case of
Judge Caldwell. of Upper Sandusky. o, OF
cancer of the face of long standing. and
which caused him great apprehension. was
successfully treated. George Goslng, Be
Wis. P.O. Hamilton County, Ohio. cancer OF
the face. Also that taken from J. Aston
of the same place. and a c,ncerous spcci-
men removed from the neck OF Mrs. Ham
mond's child. of Dayton. 0. This cancer
was SO large as to cover the entire side OF
the neck, and extending to the large blood
vessels. So large was its growth. aud so
closely did it lie to the blood vessels, that no
surgeon to whom he had applied previously
could be induced to try TO relieve the case.
This patient. while being operated upon.
boarded with Mr.. J w. Goslng. Garage
manufacturer. Of this city. In addition TO
these, VIC noticed the case OF Mr.. Murdock,
No. 100 Broadway, Cincinnati. cancer of
the lip.
The doctor studied his profession und-r
prof. K. S. Newton-who is now success
fully prac'icing in New York city-until
he graduated, and was his assistant in all
his surgical operations, and praclicing the
profession in connection with him for sew
eral years subsequently, become familiar
with all his peculiar views aud treatment of
this disc ase.
Professor r. Newon, As is extensively
know in this community, has spent many
years in researches in learning the nature Of
this disease. and has more experience in
cases of cancerouS and cancroid diseases
Than any. other known physician, yet, say
hat it being one OF the most dangerous and
ilflicu!, to cure in advanced growth. should
receive the earliest and most prompt a,ten-
ion.
