A Mr.. H. at Hessleholm had an ul=
cerating tumor in one of his thighs,
and he went to the hospital at Kris
tianstad to be cured. Several RENEE
dies, including Roentgen rays, were
tried, but all in vain. From Kristian-
stad the man went to Lund to see a
specialist. The latter declared that
the tumor was cancerous, and that
the only way to save the life of the
patient was to amputate the limb
above the tumor. But when Mr. H.
was told that the charges at the Lund
hospital would be 81 cents day while
he could stay at the Kristianstad hos
pital, which was located in his own
land, for 40 cents a day, he decided to
return to Kristianstad. Before going
to the latter place, however, some one
told him of a woman at Lung, Ros-
tanga, who had local reputation as
quack. Expecting to lose his limb
anyway, Mr.. H. went to see her. She
induced him to stop a. while, and in
a few days he improved SO much that
he could 80 home and begin to work,
and she has promised him that he will
be wholly restored by the first of July.
