Connecticut.-Dr. David H. Reeder.
Laporte. Ind.-Dear Doctor: We take
this paper regularly, and have al
ways been specially interested in your
department. Now have come to
trouble you. am an old woman, n
years, and have always been healthy.
Last year had lump in my right
breast. There are SO many cases Of
cancer these days, that / felt that I
must do what would help me from
suffering and dying with a terrible
cancer. I went to prominent sur
geon and had my breast examined
DR.. x pronounced 1t cancer with

breast removed by a surgical opera

have 1t done, concluded to go to a
Massachusetts hospital, because 1t was

other surgeon, who also said 1t was
cancer, and gave me the same advics

the operation at the Massachusetts
hospital on Decoration day. I went
through all the pre1iminaries and OPP
Grafton like hero, and came out Of
everything nobly; did not even have

who gave me the anesthetic came In
my room to see me, and told me there

to be analysed. It proved to be a cystic
growth. Now, was not that too bad
that such mistake should have been
made? feet that It has cut short my
life ten years in taking away my vi

you to help me out by sending me
