CURE FOR CANCERS: 
Spread a plaster as large as a dollar of gum diachylon, 
_ sprinkle on it a scruple of corosive sublimate, pulverized, and 
so on in proportion to the size of the plaster. Apply this 
plaster forty-eight hours: if it has not killed the cancer keep 
iton longer. Afterwards apply a poultice of bread and milk 
_ with sweet oil, which must be shifted every four hours till the 
cancer comes out by the roots. The wound must be dressed 
with a salve made of beeswax, white pine turpentine or bal- 
sam firr, castile soap and mutton tallow, equal parts, melted 
together. The patient must take a gentle physic every six or 
eight days. I prefer giving the Indian Physic.
