Cancer Cure" Yarb" Tea-and Charles
Yardley.

ABBEv1ILE, S. c., Sept. 5, 1872.
Editor Ab6euile Press and Banner:
SIR: Charles Yardley, of Pitts
burg, Pennsylvania, has sent a pre-
scription for the benefit Of US poor
benighted Abbcvillians, informing us
how to "cure cancer"
If Mr.. Charles Yardley would be
so kind as to tell US what cancer was,
and how he identified (prognosticat-
ed, as the Doctors say,) the liberation
as cancer, we would be willing to 60
into the "wild tea" business with
more confidence, especially if he
would inform US what are the medic
inal properties of the "wild tea.'"
Was Mr.. 'Yardley afflicted with
schirrus or hard cancer? was it en-
cephaloid or brain-like cancer? was
it melanosis or black cancer? was
it alvcolao or germ cancer? was it
carcinoma? or any other kind known
to the medical investigators. The
liberation that threatened to put out
Mr.. Yardley's "pecper," to shut out
his daylight on one side, may posi-
bly, have been what Surgeons know
as Epithelial cancer, properly a can
croid sore, known as "Lupus" (Wolf)
from it's devouring propensities, and
as .'nol me tangere," (touch me not.
so named from its disposition to
spread by liberation with frightful
rapidity when handled, OF improperly
;nterfered with.
If Mr.. Charles Yardley, of Pitts
burg, Pennsylvania, 62 years of age.
had sent into this benighted part OF
the world, an asthma cure" or al
collie cure" or any other humbug
not calculated to injuro the unwary
we would have had nothing to say.
but when he deals with cancer, or can
croid alterations, with which the
best informed physicians find it diff
cult to cope, it is time to speak, and
put the unwary upon their guard.
The concroid sore known among
surgeons as Epithelial cancer, from its
involving the skin, being skin deep,
and differing from the cancer proper
which involves in its destructive
progress skin, muscle and bone, all
structures of the body with equal i'm.
partiality-is curable disease, and
there are instances Of its cure in Alb
beville.
Ills treated by surgeons by knife,
causlics and injections Of powerfully
Alternative substances into tho discas-
ed structure, and is occasionally ours:
ed by quacks by the application of
concentrated extracts of, vegetable
astrlngents and Alternatives.
But it is very dangerous expert
ment for the unskilled and ignorant
to tinker with these cancroid ulcera-
tions, owing to their disposition TO
rapid and destructive progress when
improperly interfered with.
Besides, to the unprotessional, all
alternate ulcerations about the face,
whether scrofulous, vencreal or other
wise are cancers from which, should
they stumble upon cure, the Charles
Yardleys, of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania,
&c years old, make capital and gather
pence when "poor devil of u Doc.
tor" might cure them one hundred
times aud never be heard.
.Ah, Charles! I am afraid your hook
is baited for Gudgeons. Charles
must have learned through the Bu-
reau at Washington that the cotton
crop down In these bcnighted regions
was promising. But my dear
Charles, altho' you are 62 years, and
know all about "Cancer Cure" and
''Yarb teas" you have yet to learn,
Charles, that our greenbaclls arc
sucked up, before they are made, by
tho money mill men in Columbia
The millers, Charles, take all the corn
for toll, and the sack to boot, Charles,
and leave US naught, Charley; moth
ing at all but our cancers melanoids,
black cancers, and schirrous, hard can
GERS, Charles; but no Encephaloids;
nary brain cancer, Our sores, Char
ley; just rise and run and cant be
stopped. "Yarb tea" won't do it
Charley. unless you could administer
it with just grain or two of strych-
MIA to the carpet-baggers and scala
wags, and then, Charley our worst
cancers would heal Of themselves,
without poulticing with "Wild Tea"
Good bye, Charles, better luck NEXT
time. NJ. d.
