GOT WELL OR HEALED-WHIcH?

Mrs. Norton. the lady who was op erated on twice for cancer by Phoenix doctors and later got well. after being treated by Christian Science healer is now able to be about the streets and to do her housework. Many doubts have been expressed about the work that was done by the Christian Science people in the case and pr. Palmer was interviewed on the subject yesterday morning.
 The doctor stated that while the Christian Science treatment undoubt- edly was the means of encouraging the woman. and that it was the cause of her getting up at once after being so weak that it was necessary to have assistance in turning over in bed, he offers as an opinion that the trouble with the woman was not second can cer as was stated by some of the doc tors but was an abscess resulting from the operation and forming pus in the wound. causing the terrible pain from which the woman suffered and that when she got up to walk. this swell ling broke and the pus was discharged thus giving almost instant relief to the woman and allowing nature to heal the wound at once.
 The doctor offers as the proof of his theory the fact that a new cancer does not grow in six months-the time in which the swelling formed-and the fact that the swelling broke by itself and was discharged. something very unusual in a cancer.
 However il may be. Mrs. Norton is now well upon the road to complete recovery and her friends are duly thankful regardless of how the cure was brought about.
