CANCER.

Alleged Successful Cures. The following report of an interesting view by a representative of the English Review of Reviews with the brothers 1). and J. Evans, of Pennbanks, Carligan, wlio claim to have discovered a cure for cancer, appears in this month’s issue of the Review of Reviews for Australasia. Plow did you come to try to cure cancer ?—We had a hereditary turn for healing. Our father, a boat builder, had much renown as a : healer. People used to come to him from far and near for his herbal preparations. He taught us the medicinal use of herbs. But how did you start ? —We used to go round the country conducting tonic solfa classes, and when travelling about we constantly came upon sufferers whom we treated from sheer pity. Our success was such that at last we had to give up singing and devote ourselves to healing. Healing cancer ? —Not at first.' The case that launched us on our present course was the cure of blindness. A Miss Jones, ofSt Dogmells,' 'had gone to a hospital at Haverfordwest nearly blind. She came back greatly distressed because the hospital physicans said they had no hope of quring her; She had been the support of a widowed mother, and she was most anxious because she did not know what would happen to her mother if she went blind. We took pity on her, and determ'ned to make an effort to save her from blindness. We tried various herbs, and at last succeeded in bringing back the sight. This encouraged us greatly, and led us to try what we could do with cancer. And with what results ?—We tried many herbs—some thousands —first and last before we discovered the leaves that would do the work. We found out how to heal many diseases, not only in men but in animals. But we set our hearts on curing cancer, and we have succeeded. We discovered the herb for cancer twenty years ago, but it was only lately that we have become thoroughly acquainted with its powers and learnt how to use it most successfully. You have no medical education. How do you know a cancer from an ordinary tumour ? —By a subtle odour which denotes the presence of cancer. But if we are in doubt as to a tumour, we treat it with poultices, etc., to see whether it will soften. If, on the contrary, it hardens, we then give the cancer treatment. And what is that treatment ? We apply the ointment or the lotion with a small brush to the part effected, place a number of leaves over the wound, and cover the whole with a cabbage leaf and a bandage. The effect of this is to gather up the roots of the cancer into the main parts of its body, after which the whole cancer tails out and the patient is cured. Is the treatment painful ? —lf it is hurried, yes ; but if patients are not in a hurry to be cured we can make the treatment comparatively painless. We are now treating a case by this painless method with great success. What is your theory of cancer ? Cancer grows like a tree. When once it has been cut it grows thicker and faster. We like to have cases where there is no operation, because the roots are then in connection with the lump in every case. As we applied the fluid we could sometimes trace the course of the roots, and then see the pitting of the skin showing how the roots had been drawn up. The interviewer also states that the son of one patient told him that on the second day of the treatment it was possible to trace the course of the roots of the cancer twisting round the nose, crossing the nose, passing right under the eyebrow and temple, also downwards to the submaxillarygland. Eventually the scab fell off like a ripe apple from a tree. Do you treat cases of internal cancer?—Not yet. But by working along our present lines we hope to find out a method of applying our treatment to internal cases. How long does the treatment last ? That depends upon the length ot time the cancer has been growing before treatment. What percentage of success do you count upon ?—“ One hundred per cent,” was the astonishing reply. “We have never yet declined a case of external cancer which has not been operated upon, and have never had a single failure. We make no charge, accepting the gifts of those who are healed, whatever they may be.” The commissioner adds that the Evanses are so busy that they hardly have time for meals. They frequently do without their midday meal, and work far into the night—returning to their farm from their surgery sometimes between 2 and 3' a.m. They are deeply religious. and extremely modest men, and are intensely anxious to retain the privilege of treating “ those poor fellows,” as they call them, who may seek their help at Cardigan.
