time-so much sothat 1t had eaten of good portion
Of my nose, and was making great progress. 1t was
located near the end OF my nose, and had eaten
through, disfgurlng me very much. Hearing OF DR..
WoLLARD's great success In curing Cancer, Invent
to him and placed myself I'M der his treatment After
several weeks Of ht practice the Cancer came out
but left me very much disGgured. The place has
healed up perfectly sound, leaving no trace Of the
symptoms Of the disease whatever.
I would advise all who are suffering with sucha
disease not to neglect It as did, and thereby become
dishgured for life, but call DR.. WoLLARD at once
and be cured. His treatment is not severe but mild
and sure. Yours, respectfully,

mided to see him, and did so. He examined II. and
said that he could cure It. determined to le. him
undertake it. expected It would be very painful
but Iwas disappointed; 1t was not so. He told m.
exactly how his medicine would act In every par.
ticuar. found It to act precisely as he told me 1,
would. In about six weeks the Cancer came out. It
was about the size of hickory-nut and quite hard
and In about four weeks longer WAS entirely wen,
aud haven't felt the slightest pain about my leg
since. 1t has been some considerable time since th.
cure was effected. It Is certainly the most remark

1t nearly covered one side of my nose. 1t was very
painful, and was most miserable In consequence
of It. From the time of It's first appearance up TO
the time that you took It in hand / tried various
remedies, and two of our most eminent physicians
,practiced upon it for three years, but ayailed
nothing still 1t grew larger. You began TO prac-
tice upon it the 10th day Of April last and in three
or four weeks from that date the Cancer was EN-
TIRELY OUT, and on the Goth day OF May Il was all
healed; and after long years OF anguish and bad
health was once more happy and wen. Words
fail me. Never can / express the one-thousand,h
part cof the contentment, happiness, and intense
gratitude feel: but that God may grant you sue

There is no change in the Wool market. Manu-

and there is no pressure to buy SELL
In New York considerable activity has been dis
played in the mardet during the past three days for
domestic material, and at the close of Yesterdays
business cheerful and confident feeling was notice
able almost everywhere. The increased demand is
due to extent to the better INQUIRY for fine Cas-
simeres for spring wear, and though prices of that
material have not advanced, they are much firmer.
Whether this change for the better will be perma-
nent remains to be seen, but it is hoped that the
dullness which has been prominent feature of this
market for a year past has finally given way to
much better state of things.
