GRANTS WONDERFUL IMPROVE.
MENT.
Due to the Newly-DiscOvered Brazilian
Cancer Cure.

There is report af1oat. based apparently on
agood foundation, that the phenomenal inn
provement of General Grants condition is due
to the use OF the Brazilian cancer cure, called
dtrelos, discovered by DR.. Velloso, of Pernam-
buco. The cure is the juice of a Brazilian plant
called aluelos, and which, it is claimed, has
so far proved successful in that country in
every case of cancer of the lips, tongue, nose,
breasts, &c.
couple of months ago the State department
received some of the medicine from Consul
Wright, at Santos. 1t was turned over to the
surgeon general of the marine hospital service,
and has been used for cancerous affections with
apparently successful results. A druggist broker
in New York keeps the medicine in stock, and
1t Is supposed that some was procured from him
to be used in General Grants case, and it is said
that he began to improve Immediately after
wards. A few days ago some more atuetOs was
received at the State department from South
America, and was sent, by direction of the Sec
retary of State, to a member of General Grants
family.
The STAR lately gave some interesting par
ticulars of the experiences of Capt. John Duble
with this remedy upon cancerOus affection
upon his nose near the eye. The ulcer was un-
mistakably healed over by the application of
the alvelos juice, but there has been some ques-
ton whether 1t was true cancer. Since the fail
ure of the mucll-vaunted Cundardngo cancer
remedy (also from South America), to effect a
permanent cure, the public will not put entire
faith in any new remedy from the same quarter
until 1t has been fully tested.
