send you herewith remedy for
that horrible disease, cancer, which
/ believe is certain cure. A
friend of mine in Louisiana has
been cured by the use Of this rem
edy, and gentleman in South
Mississippi to whom he gave the
recipe has also been cured. Please
publish for the benefit of suffering
humanity.
Use the extract of sheep sorrel
prepared as follows:
Gather the sheep sorrelsswhen
green, place it in u mortar, beat it
mp very fine, express the Juice and
strain it in order TO get rid of the
lint and trash. Place the juicesin
a deep plate and set in the sun
until it evaporates to..the consist
ency of molasses or honey. Spread
the salve thus produced Oh piece
of kid, or ON linen cloth, aud APP
ply to the affected part, renewing
it two or three times II day. This
application, in two or three days,
will cause the ulcerous part to
slough off, after which apply a
simple ointment to heal the sore
This remedy is sure, and causes
considerable pain. but ii is other
wise harmless. If the patient has
the nerve to stand the pain it pro-
duces it will effect radical cure

We take the subjoined article
from the Columbus (Miss) Indie
pendent. III is to be assumed that
fhe structures of the writer are not
intendedtoapply to Eastern Texas:
A gentleman writing to the En-
terprise Courier, from Texas, gives
the following gloomy account on
affairs in that much overrated State:
Every man who Gun make a iiv-
ing where he is, had better stay
there; but if move he will, had bet
ter go to Florida or Louisiana.
For the sake of all You hold dear
ON earth steer your bark clear of
flis land of trouble, suffering and
death. 10 almost every Texas
newspaper we pickup, are accounts
of most deliberate suicides, aud
they are generally caused by dis
appointments I'D coming to tins
woeful country. If you come to
farm, unless you have thousands
of dollars to buy land, build houses
and support your family, you are
sure to suffer, for it takes q great
deal to commence even poor llv-
ing here. Sympathy is word un-
known, and honesty is never re-
.cognized until fully established by
vour actions. All men are consld-
cred rogues until proven to be
honest. There is no chance for Il
laboring man to succeed here ex-
cept he be without u family, and
then lie must be very patient and
economical, as wages are very low
and work extremely hard to get.
