Butler Herald: Joe King of Harris
county brought to the ERquirer-SltR Office
yesterday q cancer about the size of a
small dewberry. Dr. Bullard had Just re-
moved this deadly growth from Mr.. Kings
eyeball, and the old man was highly de
lighted. saying that the doctor dlssected
out the cancer with an electric knife; that
the blade was fused into a red heat by cleo
tricity. and, strange to say, no pain was ex-
perieuced while performing this most deli
cate oueration. A reporter called at the
doctors Office, and found that he had re-
served a portion of the growth, from
which he pared off a small piece, like unto
a pins point, and placed it in the
microscope and kindly asked the scribe to
take peep. He peeped into the magnify
ing instrument. and, to his astonishment,
this tiny specimen had developed into some
thing that looked like an ADalachicOla Ovs-
ter; however, with some assistance from
the doctor, he was able to see what patholo-
gists call "cell-cylinders," "brood-nest,"
''pearly nodules, . ETC., which are character
iStic of of epithelial cancer. 1t will bs re-
membered that three years ago Judge
Hayes of Lakeland, Fla, who had consulted
eminent oculists without relief, had DIR.
Billiard to operate upon him with the hap
piest results. He is now thirty pounds
heavier than before the operation, is in per-
feet health. and there is no evidence of the
temperance of the cancer.
