A Trcatnent for Cancer. j
The Weatrford (X. Y.) Times gives the fol
lowing remedy for cancer. - j
v "Put 207 drops of carbolic acid in a pint of
glyceriue. Put two table-spoonfuls of this in a
tumbler of water, and of .this mixture take one
tablespoouful twice a day. Have the acid corn
bind with glycerine by a druggist who will get
the correct amount. This formula can be re
dhced to any quantity desired."
ThW is said to dissolve the cancerous cells
and eflect a perfect and painless cure. Tie
editor of the "Times" vouches for a number of
euros which lihve been made by this remedy in
h'n vicinity, and he adds: "Knowing the
source from which this formula came we heartily
recommend that any one sullering m the early
stages of cancer should consult their physician
as to their physical condition, an 1 if possible try
this remedy," This remedy is said to le the
one used by those who advertise to and do cure
c:ineer without the use of the knife or plaster.
It may be well for people to remember that
alcohol is a perfect antidote! for carbolic acid
cither internally. Anyoiiy taking carbolic acid
in any form as a medicine should -ivoid the use
ofalcolol in every form as it destroys the medi
cinal clUct of the ac'd. I his preparation has
been etlcetual in many cases, according to the
editor's .statement, and may be the remedy that
that medical fraternity dias so long sougct in
vain.
