is already a deficiency Of 500, 700 in
the contingent fund of the House on
account of the great expenses OF the
investigations. 1t was officially an
nounced by the chairman of the APP

session that there would be no def
ciences this year. Three and one half
months only of the session have pass
ed, and for the one item of investiga-

already q deficit Of 800, 900. The ex-

Interesting and Quick Cure Of
Cancer of the Nose---Lupus,

MIR. J. r. BLACKBURN, RESIDING AT

the Turner House, called on me Decemb ber
10th. and consulted me about an ulcer on his
nose, of two years standing. He ask ed me
what thought about it, and if ] could cure
him. After examination and learning the
history of the case, | assured Mr. Black burn
that this cancer could be cured, and was
able to do it, The carcinoma epithelialc"

being highly recommended TO me showed the
greatest confidence in my treatment from the
beginning, and followed my directions up to
the letter. The result is most cherishing for
him, and. | should say fatterng for me. In

It was soon evident, however, .ha.
Henry was not the sort Of q "refor.

was like unto dead sea fruit. Certain
