Connecticut.-Dr. David H. Reeder,
Laporte. Ind-Dear Doctor. We take
this paper regularly, and I have al
ways been specially interested In your
department. Now l have come to
trouble You. I am an old woman, u
years, and have always been healthy
Last year had lump in my right
breast. There are SO many cases OF
cancer these days, that I felt that
| must do what would help me from
suffering and dying with terrible
| cancer. l went to a prominent sur
geon and had my breast examined.
DR.. X pronounced it cancer with
out doubt, and advised me to have tho
breast removed by surgical opera
ton, "the sooner the better for me-"
In making plans when and where to
have it done, I concluded to go to a
Massachusetts hospital, because it was
neare: my home. also consulted an
cancer, and gave me the same advice
as DIR. X. engaged him to perform
the operation at the Massachusetts,
hospital on Decoration day. l went
through all the preliminaries and OPP
Grafton like a hero, and came out of
everything nobly; did not even have
any sickness from taking the anes-
thetic. One of the hospital doctors
who gave ME the anesthetic came in
my room to see me, and told me there
were doubts about its being cancer
that they had sent it to a laboratory
to be analysed. 1t proved to be cystic
growth. Now, was not that too bad
that such a mistake should have been
made? feet that it has cut short my
life ten years in taking away my vi
tality, as am weaker for it, and want
you to help me out by sending me
medicine to give me strength and ad-
vice, if YOU think / need it. feel
like changing DR.. Franklin's advice,
and say to all surgeons: BE sure you
are right, then don't go ahead until
you try ether remedies
have a simple cure for burns that
I have used for years. 1t may be OF
some benefit to some one il you see
fit to put it in the paper. 1t is tea
leaves. 1t is the best ever used, and
it will prevent any blistering and
smarting, and seems to draw out the
fire and tougher the skin. go to the
teapot and take the tea leaves that
have been STEPPED, or, if do not have
them, take the dry tea and moisten
with hot water. Sincerely, Mrs. G. J.
