A CASE OF CANCER


"About ten years ago l became troubled
with an itching and burning sensation in the
back of my neck which was caused by my
irritating a mole l consulted physician
and learned that 1 had mild form of
cancer. Like all those SO afflicted, wanted
to conceal the fact, for cancer is a loath-
some disease; but it grew so rapidly and be-
came so painful that 1 put myself in the
haDds of q physician, who assured me that
the cause of my pain could readily be over
come. The cancer was finally removed, the
growth at that time being about the size of
silver quarter.
"In less than a month it broke out again
in a most virulent form and rapidly grew in
size The sufferings l underwent were
physicians but they all assured me my dis
ease was beyond all hope OF relief. Mr..
Charles Durham, q neighbor and friend. who
had previously been cured of the same dis
ease as I was afflicted with at Hutchison's
Cancer Hospital, came to see me on his re-
turn homo and urged me to go to that insti-
tuition.
cat the time was so weak and exhausted
that could scarcely stand on my feet. My
physician, DR.. Smith, said Hutchfson's Can
GER hospital was the best place for me to go.
There was not one my family or friends
but what expected when returned home 1t
would bein coffin, and fully believed such
to be the case myself as packed in my trunk
the clothes to be used as shroud when death
came. When reached the hospital at Sc
wickley, Pa, was so exhausted that death
seemed imminent. l was taken to large,

physician, DR.. I. B. Chantler. for several
days until had recovered sufficient strength
for the cancer plaster to be applied. At that
time the sore extended from one ear to the
other, and from the roots of the hair down
about three inches on my back along the
spinal column. Owing to my lack OF vitality,
great care was exercised in my treatment.
The plaster was applied first in very mild
form, in consequence of which several ap-
plications were necessary. In few weeks
a perceptible change was noticeable in my
condition, and one large piece of the diseased
flesh dropped off, and began to feel strong.
The plaster was most effective in its work,
and about three weeks ago the last particle
of the foreign growth had come out, and
this without the use of O knife or operation
of any kind. am now in better health than
for 20 years. In fact, have grown so strong
and f1eshy that my own family could hardly
recognize me on my return, and those who
had predicted my return in coffin, looked
upon me as one returned from the grave.
"The remedy used in the Hutchison Cancer
Hospital, cheerfully recommend as a cer-
tain cure for cancer.
"At the hospital everything is done for
the comfort of the patients. The best of
medical skill is in constant attendance, and
thoroughly trained nurses look after the
patient night and day. That my life has
been spared, I owe entirely to the fact of
having gono to Hutchison's Cancer Hos
pital, Sewickley, Pa, for treatment.
