&GurfOas statement.
A CUBE PoR CANCER

Tn an old English periodical is 2
statement which is curious, whether y
he true OF not. II is this: A poor
woman in Hungerford had suffered
many years with. most inye'erate can
Ger il the breast. A gentleman IN that
neighborhood told her that i she would
use toads as directed, she would most
assuredly be cured. According to ms
order she took eight toads. and tying
them up in muslin bags applied them
to eight holes in her breast. These
toads Immediately applied themselves
with great voracity, sucking Ike lee
ches, until they had sucked themselves
full, when they dropped off in agonies
nerrible to behsld. They did not seem
to give the poor woman any pain, but
on The contrary, afforded her relief, her
pains abating from the first application.
She repeated this operation until
had demolished one hundred and TWEEN
ty toads. by which time her breast was
healed and restored to its usual size.
The toads were applied every night;
the better she Crews the longer they iv-
ed and the longer they sucked.
The poor Woman full Of gratitude.
went 10. poor man in Eambourne, near
wiltshire, who had long gone deeble
with d cancer on his back. Oae Mr..
H-y, pursues this old time chronicier,
was there last week, and says ths. man
il absolutely cured. During the wo-
mans attendance on the man she was
sent for by a physicians wife at Calne,
ID the same county: She would net
leave the man until he was cured, and
then went to attend the lady, who "
cured, as was attested to the writer by
two letters from tile wife of the 'pbysi-
clan, living in an adjoining parish.
Now, TO one who knows nothing
about cancers, except that they are tep.
ribls and incurable, it seems that II
there 10 q possibility Of there being any
Truth id this story, Or any virtue in the
remedy, il il worth knowing by those
90 afflicted, as, according to q much
abused maxim 1T a do no harm il
it does not do any good" Wlrile. If in

| Company being a Home Institution, it should
be preferred by citizens Of the South for ma
nv reasons. We will, however, enumerate
only two OF three.
1. The money invested in it is retained at
home, where it assists in promoting Western
and Southern trade and commerce, in build
ing I'D tewrs and cities. in developing our
rich mineral and agricultural esources i'll
building our great lines of railroad, and in
cnltivating our boandless prauies. For these
reasons Southern and Western men shoald
insure in it.
9. As its funds are all invested where high
rates of interest prevail. it can grant insurance
cheaper and pay better dividends than any
Eastern Company. For this reason all per-
sons desiring to make a certain and safe pro-
vision for their families, should insure in it.
5. Its Local Board Of Louisiana Directors
being composed of men of high standing in
the community. is a sufficient guarantee that
widows and orphans will be protected in their
r;rbtc when uoIicies issued by this COMPANY
mature by reason of death or otherwise. This
feature is peculiar to this eompsny, (no other
institution beyond the limits of the State hav-
ing a local board and is, therefore, worthy
of the highest considerations
