There has ,r.nsrirc,i in dis city lu.
ring the Past two weeks one nt the mos,
remarkable cases Oh record, being nc
more nor less than the extraction, root
and branch, without raln, and by the
simplest of means ci large cancer from
the left check Of Mr.. c. A. Chace, freight
agent at Kansas City of the Hannibal
and ST. Joseph Railroad.
Mr.. Chacc discovered, about six years
ago, small red spot growing upon his
left cheek, Immediately below the eye.
THIS red spot increased in size and soon
developed one Of those dangerous and
most unpleasant Of bodily affllctionS-a
cancer. For about Two years Mr.. Chace
has tried every medical advice and treat
mcnt. and still the horrible protuberance
continued to grow, and threa,ared ulti-
mately to cat the face and cause him TO
lose the use Of one eye. A council of
phySirians, each Of them prominent in
his practice, was held few weeks ago,
when it was proposed to cut out the
cancer from the face. This proposition,
had it been carried cut, would have en-
'langcrrd the life cf the patient, hence il
was not adopted. About two weeks
ago Mr.. Chac= called upon Professor
hc!ngg, proprietor OF tic Turkish baths,
on Walnu,.>trect, who boldly announced
his ability to cure tie cancer in fifteen
days If his directions were strictly com.
piled with. Mr.. Chace, glad to avail
himself Of any resource for getting rid Of
his cancer, consented, and at once went
under Dr.. kel!ogg's treatment.
He was placed in Turkish bath fer
two hours each day for seven days. with
a Temperature Of 10, when it was found
that the cancer vas dropping out root
and fangS entire. 1t first became red on
one side and then burst the skin. Mr..
Chace applied, by Professor kellosgs
advice, poullcc, which aided in draw.
ing the cancer from the cheek. During
The last " eek his family, who resided in
West Kansas City, hase watched with
great anxiety the cure being effected.
On Sunday the anxiety was so great
that Notwithstanding the intense cold
weather, Mrs. Chace called at the baths
TO inform Professor Kellogg that the
cancer was about - drop out. Yestcr-
day morning the patient himself brought
the cancer ia = small vial TO Professor
Kellogg, and it had fallen out clean, and
with all lis rootS and (angS attached,
leaving "othing except the ugly indenta-
ton in the face where the cancer had
been. IL wi.l now continue to take the
bath until the cheek is healed. The
cancer, MS extracted, is about the size OF
q hazel nut. il is preserved at the baths
for the inspection Of the curious.
Mr.. Chacc and family arc, Of course,
much delighted at this almost miraculous
case, which is as surprising as it is i'm
portant TO the public. 1t has heretofore
been considered almost impossible TO
cure cancers except by cutting them out
by ;hc roots The discovery made and
the cure performed by Professor kcl-
iogg, by means Of ho. vapor baths, is
one Of lie most uscfu! as well as the
most remarkable on record.
