An Alleged Cure for Cancer.
The following, from the Dunedin Star, will be welcome news to sufferers from that terrible disease, cancer, as indicating the possibility of euro. A well-known settler at Moeraki, whose cheek and jaw were in a fearful state with cancer, was told by a medical man to go home and put his bouse in order— that nothing more could be done for him. Mr Edward Deboitt, of Moeraki, persuaded him to ppply figs, which he did, and having persevered for five months, he is perfectly cured, and has been pursuing his daily vocation for about six months. And this was the treatment that cured him : —Boil fine Turkey figs in new milk, which they will thicken. When they are tender, split "and apply them as warm as can be borne to the pa?t affected, whether broken or not. The part must be washed with some of the milk every time the poultice is changed. Use a fresh poultice night and morning, and a least one during the day, and drink a quarter of a pint of the milk the figs are boiled in twice in the 24 hours. This must be persevered in for three or four months at least. The first application gives relief. Should ib r 8 part affected bficome black when using *Ue poultice do not be alarmed. It is a good sign.
