May it had increased so much in size
that when taken out, it was five inches
in diameter, and had then become an
open sore. We had heard of DIR. Kings
ley of Rome, N. T., performing wonder
full cures of cancer and these accounts
being so we'll authenticated, we resolved
as soon as we were satisfied what the
disease was, that we would avail our
selves of his skill. Accordingly on the
Goth of May, we started for Rome,
city situated near the center of New
York State, easily accessible by railroad
from all parts of the Union. Arriving
there, we found the DIR. a fine looking,
friendly, affable man, one that would at
once inspire you with respect and conf
dence. On examination of the case, the
DIR. pronounced it a durable cancer, at
the same time saying it was we'll that

from DR.. X. the cancer was removed,
and my wife able to return home about
a month later. She now seems well ex-
cept that she has not yet regained her
strength. We feel that DIR. X has been
the means of saving her life. My wife's
case was not of long standing, and was
not comparatively a bad one; yet wit

make the strongest nerved, shudder, and

Dr. K, l was invited to accompany him
on one of his daily rounds to visit his
patients. and had an opportunity to con-

the matter found the patients mostly
cheerful and hopeful, and expressing the
greatest confidence in their physician.

while still others had but just arrived.
Those who had been longest there, ex-
pressed their gratitude in high terms
for what the Dr. had done for them
