cancer upon his nose, which had been
treated without success by DR.. Smith,
of New Haven, and the ablest surgeon
in the Western country, had been cured
in the following manner: He was re-
commended to use strong potash, made
of the ashes of red oak bark, boiled
down to the consistency of molasses,
to cover the cancer with it, in an hour
afterwards to cover with plaster OF
tar, which must be removed after a few
days, if any protuberances remain in
the wound, apply more to them and the
plaster again until they shall disappear,
when heal the wound with common
salve.-Cautery and the knife had been
previously used in vain. The treat
ment effected a perfect and speedy cure.
