Milwaukee Free Democrat, was pub

years ago. An old man, a member
Of my congregation had cancer on
his face, just below the lett eye
Seeing this statement, by the advice
OF two physicians, he made the exper-
iment, and has now been, for some
four years, perfectly we'll. Another
person hearing of this, used it with
the same result. send it to You for

Some eight years .ago, Mr. I. B.
Mason, who keeps music store on
Wisconsin street, and is brother of
the we'll known Lowell Mason, as
certained that he had cancer on his
face, the size Of pea 1t was cut
out by Dr.. Walcott, and the wound
partly healed. Subsequently il grew
again, and while he was at Cinema
ii on business, il attained the size of
a hickory nut. He remained there
since Christmas under treatment, and
is now perfectly cureo The process
Is this. A piece OF sticking plaster
was put over the cancer, with q cir
cular piece cut out Of the center lit
tie larger than the cancer, so that
the cancer and small circular rim OF
healthy flesh was exposed Then a
plaster made OF choloride OF zinc,
bloodroot, and wheat flour, was
spread on y piece Of muslin tho size
of this circular opening, and applied
to the cancer for twenty~four hours.
On removing it, the cancer will be
found 70 be burnt into, aud appear
Of tho color and hardness OF an old
shoe sole, and the ci ar rim out>
side will appear white and parboiIed,
~ il scaided by hot steam. The
wound is now dressed, and the out
side rim soon separates, and the can>
Ger comes out in a hard lump, and
the place heals up, The plaster kills
the cancer, SO that It sloughs out
like dead flesh, and never grows
again. The remedy was discovered
by DIR. Fell, Of London, and has been
used by him for six or eight years,
with untailing success, and not a case
has been known Of the re~appearanca
Of the cancer when this remedy has
beeu applied.
