I mufl: obferve here, that I laid the intIre bone 
bare, wherever the tumor touched, even down to 
the ala of the nofe of that fide. 
Obfervation the 3d, is upon a cancerous tumor of 
the fame nature, and in the fame fituation, and the 
treatment juft the fame : it was as big as a filbert, 
and the officer was afflided with it twenty years. 
It differs from the former only in this, that the 
year before the officer came to Marfeilles, to put 
himfelf under Monfieur David’s cure, the tumor 
broke, and difcharged a very fetid acrimonious mat- 
ter, which, running into the eye, brought on a trou- 
blefome opthalmia, and the edges were livid, and 
had a very terrible afped. As to his operation, it 
confifted, as before, of a total extirpation of the can- 
cer, periofteum and all, to the bare bone. He dreffed 
the bone with dry lint only, and his digeftive was a 
mixture of the linimentum Arcaei, with the unguen- 
tum ftyracis : and in about nineteen days he was fo 
perfectly cured, that when he returned to his friends, 
feveral of them afked him, upon which eye the ope- 
ration had been made ? 
Obfervation 4, differs in nothing from the former. 
Obfervation 5, upon a cancerous tumor upon the 
nofe, which reached from the root of the nofe down 
to the middle of the cartilage. He treated it in the 
fame manner, taking off the whole with the peri- 
ofieum; and, as it was partly upon the cartilage, he 
alfo cut away the perichondrium, laying that, as well 
as the bone, bare : and the cure was completed, 
without leaving any deformity behind, in eighteen 
days.
