REMARKABLE CURES.

An "old fogy" adherence to the Irregular"
school of physicians causes us TO look with dis
trust upon all alleged new remedies, but we
are not so blind that we cannot see facts actu-
ally demonstrated to our own eyes Cancer has
been supposed TO be one Of the most incurabls
of diseases, anc one OF the most dreadful, too,
its insiduOus approaches upon the citadel of
life never ceasing until its foul work has been
accomplished. The knife used to be the rene
dy resorted to in the treatment of cancer. but
generally proved insufficient for permanent
cure. Then other modes were tried but 80
often failed TO accomplish the desired result
that none OF them could be called SUCCESS
At last Philadelphia NJ d. discovered what
he claimed to be really Cancer Anti1ote, the
niodus oDerdndi of which seems to be to appar-
entity enter into the chemical composition Of
the cancer, or cancerous affection, destroying
its life by specifically antidoting and killing
the csncerous cell formation, with all malig-
nant action or affection. In nearly all cases,
every particle, root and fibre belonging to il is
thus destroyed without the use of the knife,
without caustic, or eating or burning medicines.
without the loss Of blood. and with but little
pain. Some months since DIR. G.. H. Plumley,
of Montpelier, passed several weeks in Phila.
delphia, periecting himself in a knowledge of
this cure, and since his return has done some
remarkable cures with it, several OF which
have come under our personal observation. The
first was that of Mrs. Chester Ainsworth, oil
GOuldsyille, the entire lobe Of whose left breast
was affected, and who expected no relief except
that of death. Last Saturday we saw her, and
the cancer is no more, beside which her gener.
al health is better than for long time Rich
ardson Mixer, formerly Of Halifax, and now OF
West BrattlebOro. had large cancer on his
forehead, over the left eye Coming to Mont
pelier, he submitted himself to the treatment
Of Dr. Plumley, who removed it. and Mr.
Mixer il again well man. Mrs. William
Dutton, of Forcstdale, is another who has been
cured by DR.. Plumley, as is Mrs. William
Chamberlin, Of Gaysyille. All of these cases
with one exception, We can speak of from por
sonal observation, and they demonstrate that
DR.. Plumley claims no more than be can make
good. lie does not pretend that he can cur,
all cases of cancer, but that he can invariably
do so when parties have not too long deferred
putting themselves under treatment. Braithe
waite's Retrospect, standard medical author
Ity, says that the most recent views of the ma
ture of cancer are that it is not constitution.

that by subsequent absorption Of its elements

use of caustics, alter the removal Of the mas,
Of the tumor by the knife, is coming more anC

suitable. This sustans the theory Of the treat
