A Remedy for Cancer.
eThe Echo contains the following, which, i£ true, ought to be widely known : — " According to a medical paper, 4he intolerable pain which accompanies cancer is to be subdued by citric acid in the form of lemon juice, of which it is the active ingredient. The discovery is due to Dr Brandini, of Florence, who 'tried the remedy upon a female patient, aged 73, who for years had suffered from an ulcerous cancer in the breast, pronounced incurable, the torments of which were such that she not only got no sleep at night, but prevented the other patients from getting any. A piece of lint waked in lemon juice was applied to the afflicted part, and produced immediate relief The pain absolutely disappeared for seven hours, and, when ifc recurred, fresh applications dispelled it for successively longer periods, until eventually it ceased altogether. Tn a number of other cases of similar nature the results were the same.' "
