aitestsd cases of Its efficacy even after

breast ahd was beginning TO be serious.
Mr.. kood, seeing the good effects of the
clover tea and wssh on his father iu-law,
Mr.. Truman Woodford, wrote to bis
cousin informing her Of the fact, and
urging her to t;y the remedy. She adop-

outer corner of my left eye a small
scab, which slowly enlarged and soon
became painful, attended by q con-
slant itching, or rather q twltching
sensation. Feeling anxious about ii,

Conn, who said it was cancerous

and give it no medical treatment. As
the affected place continued to enlarge
and the irritation increased, / applied |
to another physician, who attempted
to cure 1t by applying caustic, which !
treatment proved an injury instead of |
q benefit. The sore increased in size.
