ment in Dr MelDOurne'S Sanltarlum for the removal and cure of cancer, who has been discharged as cured, and who has been out long enough for the cancerouS growth to return, if there is any likelihood of this occurring, not only believes that he is permanently cured, but has taken steps to make it possible for other people who are suf fering with these malignant growths, but are unable to pay the expense of treatment, to be treated.
 Dr Melbourne announced that one of his former patients had placed Sl 800 in trust, this sum to be used for the purpose of paying for the expense of sufferers unable to pay the expense themselves. He said that the gentle man did not wish his name to be made public at this time for obvious reasons, but as he has undergone treatment and is cured, he feels that everyone who has cancer ought to have it treated. He believes that there are number unable to pay the cost, and it is this class which he hopes to help.
 TERMS OF TRUST.
 Dr Melbourne, under the terms of the trust, is to have every person who | applies to him to be treated under this fund examined, and is to inquire into the persons circumstances to see if they are such as to warrant this act of charity. If the person is worthy and cannot pay any part of the expense, then the whole cost is to come out of the fund. If the person is in such cir cumstances that he can pay part of cost, then the balance to give a con- plete treat atment is to come out of the fund.
 The gentleman says that his reasons for setting aside this sum of money for this purpose are easily explained. He was suffering with cancer and the physicians he consulted had told him that there was nothing that coulC be done for him. He must simply take care of it and wait. If it did not spread he would not be injured, but if it began seating the flesh he must bear the trouble with fortitude and patience, as medical science could do very little for him and could not stop the ravageS of the disease.
 TERRIBLE STRAITS.
 When he had given up hope, as the cancer began to spread, and had set. tied down to await death which wa! sure to come when the disease reached some vital point, he says no one car imagine the great cloud which rested upon him. Sometimes while thinking of the terrible fate before him, he says, he thought life was not worth the living, and he became so despond ent as not really responsible for his acts. No one who has not been placed in that condition can possibly under stand how hopeless he was. It is one thing to face death when surrounded by other people who are in as great danger as yourself, but it is another tt realize that you must sit quietly anl permit death to come upon you with out being able to do anything to hell or defend yourself.
 He was in terrible frame of mind when he heard of the cancer cure which was being tried by Dr Mel bourne with success, and while in the face of what physicians had told him he had little faith, he tried it. The result was the cancer was removed and he is apparently as we'll now as he was before the cancerous growth made It's appearance. He is happy now ane has perfect faith in the treatment anC in order that others who may be as de be helped he has placed this sum of money in trust.
