The Cancer Hospital.

It's details, anu IL tdsIrlui luTill>llige an
pleasant grounds give il rather the appearance
Of q spacious country residence than a plac'
OF refuge for the afflicted. An air Of home
| like retirement seems 10 VeTya9c, which mus
be peculiarly gratifying 70 the majority %
patients. many OF whom are separated hl
hundreds Of miles from home and friends
and perhaps this i one secret of the wonder
fUl success which attends DR.. Pond in IN
treatment Of the most desperate cases o.
cancer.
The doctor recently INDUCED in a brie'
!; respite from his labOrS. taking occasion q
pay his Eastern friends a fyIug visit, AMI OF
his return trip spent night al the residence
Of Mr.. j. NJ. Littel, al Newark, y. J., wher,
he was gratihed 10 ind his former patient
Mrs. Cooley, entirely recovered, and Mrs Lit
tel il very comfortable, IL viii be remeln-
bered that these two ladies returned Ia their
home last fall after spending several months
az the hospital being treated for an extremely
dangerous phase Of The disease. And We have
had the opportunity Of perusiug scores OF let.
tiers from other patients expressive Of the
deepest gratitude for their cure by DR.. Pond
when all other hopes had failed them.
Among the more prominent cases now IN
dergoing treatment AZ the hands of DIR. Pond,
We may mention the following

~ hllnd some I'VE wears since. Her case had
been repeatedly treated by Chicago and other
professors and eXDerts without avail, and her
friends finally sent her 10 DR.. Pond as The last
hope Of saving her life. They were not doomed
10 disappointment, a. the cancer has been en-
tirely removed, and the wound Is entirely
healed. She has this week returned 10 her

A recent letter from Miss Gertie Parsons, Of
Clay, Iowa, says that she Is able 10 wear her

She was restored by DIR. Pond after years of

tire lower hp-and also the cancer which

One of the most critical cases recently

sOnyille, Pa, cancer IN the breast. The lady

nav b''h 'i'u-hL = " Aat anu
after hope had hung in the balance during
months and years Of intense suffering.
Another great sufferer is Mrs. W. W. Mont
gomery, of Burlington, Kansas, the cancer

ful cancer in the breast.
Another fearful case Of internal cancer is
that of Mrs. Burritt, Of Rockford, Ill, who
has visited New York four times To hc unsUc-
c~essfully treated-yet DIR. Pond hopes 10 save
her.
One Of the worst, IL not the worst case in
the hospital at the present time il that Of Mr..
James Smith, of Lake shore, Michigan. His
lower jaw is entirely gone, bone and all, and
yet the hope is INDUCED Of saving the suffer
er's life.
The hospital is filed with patients In All
stages OF this terrible disease, among whom
we ind persons hailing from various points in
Missouri. Kentucky, Virginia. Colorado. Ne
braska, Minnesota, New York. Vermont, New
Jersey, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa and
Wisconsin. They come and go almost daily
come with scarce a raw of hope that their oar
ticular case can be successfully treated, and
in a few weeks the great majority depart for
their homes with a new lease Of life, freed
from the frightful incubus which has proved
alike upon body and mind, and considering
their restoration 10 health as little less than
miraculous. We are more than ever satisfied
that 4 few hours spent among the patients at
this institution must convince any unpreju-
diced person that DR.. Pond Is doing all and
even more than he claims in his treatment Of
cancers.
