Americas Recorder: In the spring Of 1855
AMANDA oates, a mulattO woman, residing
near Vienna, became afflicted with what was
prone uneed by physicians at the time to be
cancer OF the nose. The disease contieued to
spIeau, asa Ia rapid succession the nose lips
LODI OF the mouth, ey eS. and portion of the
Iorehead were eaten off and it seemed as
though she could live but short while long
er. suddenly, however, under her own treat
Lhcut $50 she Informed the writer, her face
began to heal ana finally cured up, leaving
the woman minus nose, eyes and lips Where
were onceiher eyes is now as smooth as the palm
OF the hand, no aperture ven being left. Some
OF her teeth are inverted, some pointing out
ward and some upward. Her voice is nearly
as good as ever. the articulation being quite
distinct and her tongue can be seen work
ing, while talking, through the opening
where once was her nose. And now
comes the strangest part of the case. Though
not a ray OF light has penetrated her vision in
sixteen years, this woman washes. scours,
cooks, sews, knits, and does all kinds Ct needle
work with the proficiency of an expert and
goes, unguided, anywhere she desires. The
writer, while interviewing her short while
since, noticed needle full Of thread sticking in
the long bonnet covering both head and face,
which she always wears, and asked her what
she did with that. Oh she says. I do my own
sewing, and calling TO q boy had him to bring
out dress she had just finished. 1t was as neat
job Of dress making as one could wish to see.
She rarely in1eed allows any one TO sea her
face. The cure. she informed US, had been
brought about simply by the free use OF So
luton Of burnt copperas"
