CURE FOR CAxcER.-Mrs. NJ. A. V. gives
in the Country Gentleman, this process for
curing cancer:
A sticking plaster is put over the can
Ger, with circular piece cut out the cen
ter little larger than the cancer and a
small circular rim of healthy skin next
to it is exposed. Then plaster made of
Chloride of zinc, blood root, and wheat
-four, is spread on piece Of muslin Of the
size of the circular opening, and is applied
to the cancer for twenty-four hours. On
removing it the cancer will be found as
though burned into it, aProa.r. tic
color and hardness of an old shoe, and the
circular rim outside Of it will appear white
and paFboiled as if scalded by hot steam
The wound is now dressed, and the outside
rim soon suppurates, and the cancer comes
out hard lump, and the place heals up.
The plaster kills the cancer so that il
sloughs out like dead flesh, and neve
grows again. The application is painful
but the pain is Of comparatively brief dura
ton, which any one 80 effected cheerfuIly
endures. Not a case has been known o
the temperance Of the cancer where thi
remedy has been applied. This cure 70
cancer was published in 1866. Perhap
there are many who cen tell more abou
