A specialist removed part of the growth and the experts at the Clinical Research Asso- eiation, to whom it was submitted for analysis, pronounced it to beewithout doubt cancer. All hope of recovery had been abon- doped, swallowing being imposeible. A friend proposed an application of hot infusion of green Violet leaves, not with' an idea of curing, but to relieve •the pain. The patient reluctantly consent- ed, and the relief. was 'sufficient to in- duce a continuance. Within a fortnight from the cornmencinerit of the treat- ment every trace of the swelling had disappeared. This remarkable lease of recovery by their use drew publie. attention le Mo- tet leaves as of oossible value in the treatment ° of cancer. Inthe spring of this year this was revived .by the publi- cation in the newspapers of a case re- ported in the Lancet of March 18 by Dr. William Gordon, physician to the De- von and Exeter Hospital. In this case a man aged 53 had con - suited Dr. Gordon on November 8, 1904, for a very painful ered _serious affection o the tongue whichhad been develop- ing for the last six months, and which Dr. Gordon and four:surgeons.) all men well QUALIFIED TO JUDGE, from their extensiveexperience in con- sulting work, pronounced to be cancer. Immaelia te and sextenstve operation was recommended.. " This the patient refused and treated himself at home by taking and 'applying, fresh infusion of violet leaves.
