A Cancer Which Eats Beefsteak

Mrs. William Galloway, who lives
IN Trempeleau county, some years
ago was attacked with a cancer. It
increased in size and the physicians
said nothing could be done to help
her. But some one made the dis
covery that it was a beefsteak"
cancer and prescribed beefsteak as
remedy. Over year ago it was
thought size would not live from one
day TIL the next. The beefsteak
was applied, and it was found that
every twenty-four hours the cancer
would eat seven pounds of beef
steak. When taken from the cancer
there is nothing left Of the beef but
the tissue and tough parts of it, and
every particle of moisture will be
drawn out, the remainder being as
porous as sponge. Mrs. Galloway
IS no worse than she was a wear
ago, the cancer living on the beef in

very remarkable echo on his place
a few miles from this city-one, in
fact, which would clearly repeat
whole sentences.
The getlemen to whom this as
sertion was made were interested,
but incredulous, and arranged to
accompany Colonel Ogeechee home
the next afternoon to test the won
derful echo. The Colonel found, on
getting home, that in the heat Of
the discussion he had claimed more
than the facts justified. Determ-
ined not to be beaten, be called his
Irish laborer.
Pat" says he, "some gentlemen
are coming home with me to-mor-
row afternoon to hear the echo.
Now, want you to go across the
river before time for me to arrive,
so you can answer back whatever
we may call out"
"You name for me to play ikker,
sorr?" asked Pat, grinning. /
That's it exactly" said the Col
onel. "Now do you thoroughly
understand that you are to answer
back exactly what we say?"
ooh, yis, sorr; We can depend on
me entoirely."
Next afternoon the Colonel took |
his friends to the river bank, and |
all were ready for the experiment.

hands, the Colonel roared care
