organs. | have found that when |
had a large plaster of tobacco on my
hip and loin TO relieve sciatica. a sem
sation was excited in old wounds and
sores about the feet and legs, as well
as the influence felt on the intestnes.
1t ought to be stated that in two at
tacks of sciatica which | have ex-
perienced tobacco cured ne after the
remedies of the doctors failed to help
me.
l formerly stated to you that Mr.. j..
S. Carter, of this county who had for
two years suffered from dropsy, from
head to foot, and who was regarded
by his physicians as beyond recovery,
at the suggestion of his mother, who
had read my first article on the tobac-
CO cure, applied it to his legs, and in a
few nights was completely cured and
has had no return. Though three
months have since passed he has had
no return of the dropsy.
A gentleman who brought his wife
to this region for cure of consump-
ton, says that as she was lately suffer
ing from pain in the side he applied
tobacco and next day the pain was
relieved and she felt better.
A lady not far from this place,
whose husband has been a member of
our legislature, suffered from what is
called milk leg. Her hip, thigh and
leg were much swollen. After weeks
of suffering the physicians pronounced
it case of pyemia or blood poison
ing. Her husband caused tobacco to
be applied, and he stated to two gen.
tlemen whu informed me that he re-
garded her as we'll. Cases of what is
properly known as fever cake of long
standing have been removed at once
by tobacco.
Persons have told that cases of can
Ger have also been cured, but the
sores may not possibly have beeb
really cancers. | found, however. a
case which the two physicians who
have practiced longest in this town
and are gentlemen of the highest
standing have pronounced cancer.
The patient, Mr.. John Ledford, had
borne it seven years on the side of his
nose. saw him aud observed a white
scab and swelling, with redness around
it, which extended to the eye and
cheek. / advised him to try tobacco
on it. / saw him after a weeks trial.
The Inflammation around the scab had
disappeared and the scab seemed
smaller. When l last saw him the
scab was smaller and seemed about t.
fall of and the sore to disappear.
Sores inside the nose, attributed to
catarrhal irritation, and of long
standing, have been entirely cured by
putting into the nostrils plug of wet
tobacco and keeping it there a few
hours at time.
close with a reference to cattle
cases. In every instance in this re-
gion where tobacco in milk has been
given to hogs suffering from cholera
a cure has been the result. Even
where the hog was unable to stand, a
drenchipg with tobacco juice cured
him. Milk sickness among cattle is
cured by tobacco.
Mr.. Preston F. Patton, a large
farmer in this county, informs me of
other remarkable cures. In the spring
of the year many of his COWS died
from some poisonous plant which came
up on his plantation. He says that
during last May at least twenty-five
of them fell down and would have
died, but that he drenched them with
about pint of tobacco juice, and in
less than half an hour every one of
them arose and recovered.
