sgpjur attention has been recently called j
J a care for cancers, which is of so much i
cuoportance, that we wish to make it known !
widely as possible Some eight months <
Jo ago, Mr. T. B. Mason—who keeps a !
store on Wisconsin Street, and is a j
orothcr of a Lowell Mason — ;
pj.scertained that he had a cancer on his ;
t 'ije, of the size of a pea. It was cut out
Dr. Walcott and the wound partially
P° ealed. Subsequently it grew again, and !
10 hile he was iu Cincinnati on business, it ;
s attained the size of a hickory nut. lie
I p.as remained there since Christmas under j
eatment., and has came back perfectly !
"ared. The process ia this :
J, A piece of sticking-plaster was put over
w, c cancer, with a circular piece cut out
of the centre a little larger than the can
cer, so that the cancer and a small eirou- ,
lar rim of'healthy skia next to it were cx- j
posed. Then a plaster made of chloride of
zinc, blood-root and wheat flour was spread j
on a piece of muslin of the size of this cir
cular opening, aud applied to the cancer i
for twenty-four hours. On removing it
tho cancer will be found to be burnt into !
and appear of the color and hardness of an
old shoo sole, and the circular rim outside !
of it will appear white and parboiled, a? if
scalded by hot steam. Tho wound is now
dressed, and the outside ritn soon suppu
rates and the cancer comes cut a hard
lump, rind the place heals up. The plas
ter kills the cancer so that it sloughs out
like dead ilesh, and never grotcs again
This remedy was discovered by Dr. Fell,
of London, and hao bet-u used by him for
*ix or eight year*, with unfailing success,
and not a case has been known nf the re
appearance of the cancer, where thia rem
edy has been applied. It has the sanction
of the most eminent physicians aud sur
geons of London, but has not till recently,
been used in this country, aud many of the
faculty, with their proverbial opposition to
innovations, look upon it with distrust.—
We saw Mr. Mason at church yesterday,
.And have since conversed with him and
took particular notice rf the cicatrized
wound, vo can only say, that if the I
•rure is permanent —and from the evidence
of six or eight years experience in otLer
cases, we have no doubt it i.* —the remedy
ought tn Le universally known We have j
referred to this a*?, because Mr. Mason is j
well known both here and at the East.— i
i be experiment oxeited much interest in i
Cincinnati, and we call the attention of the !
faculty in this State, to the remedy. If it j
is what is claimed far it, this terrible tdi
sease will be shorn of most of its terrors, <
The application is painful, but the pain is i
of comparatively brief duration, which any >
one ko afflicted would cheerfully endure.— I
