New AND SINGULAR CURE FOR CANCER.
The following facts were related to US by
gentleman OF undoubted vrracity.
He was visiting relative in Deerield,
whose wife had been afflicted with cancer.
She had been importuned to have il cu5 out
but shrank from the operation. Not long since
an acquaintance of the family from abroad
called upon them, and earning the existence
of the cancer, advised the usa Of saIve made
from the common wood sorrel, in the follow
ing manner: -.|
Take lag quantity, peck OF so, plu4se
it thoroughly, and squeeze the JUICE INTO
shallow earthern vessel and set 1t IN the sun
with a pane of glass over it TIL it has drled
away into waxy salve. A thin plaster OF
this was spread upon cloth and laid upon the
cancer. A severe inflammation at once en-
sued with much pain. A hole was cut iu the
centre OF the plaster ano the Inflammation
kept down by the use of slippery eim wafer.
After while the body oi the cancer was loos-
ened from the flesh and was taken out.
The gentleman who related the above, heard
the facts from the family and saw the cancer,
as it is preserved in bottle OF spirits, being
about four inches long and two or three
broad.-PttStietd (MaSs) Times.
