CAN CANCER BE CURED?

COUNT MATTBI CHALLENGES THE DOCTOES. i A very interesting article appears in 4he January number of the Keview of Kevierv/s on the subject of one of the moßt terrible of all diseases, "Cancer." The medical Facntts ' have hitherto plainly deolared it to b« •' incurable." What a horrible significance that word has! Count Mattei, an Italian nobleman, olaims to have cured canoer not in one but in many instances. He is a rich man who began a oourae of scientific study at middlo age, and tha first due to his alleged wonderful medicine is said to have been arrived at by watchint? a sheep dog afflicted with a virulent attack of mange. Ihm dog absonted itself daily, and curiosity led iMattei to follow it, when he fonnd that it made for the mountain end there soratchod up and ate a particular root. Mr. Stead, the editor of the Eeview op Rkviews, heard bo much from persons of note as to the efficacy of Mattei'fl treatment, that in the public interest ho went over to Bolonga to interview the oount, and relates tho roßult of his researches. Should Connt Mattel's speoifio prove to be all that ia claimed for it, it will no doubt become as great apublio boon as the famous St. Jooob's Oil, whioh has effeoted so many marvellous euros in cases of nervous affections, suoh as rheumatism, neuralgia, muscular contusions, &c. St. Jacob's Oil has become a household word throughout the civilised world, and has been the means of rescuing thousands from pain and misery. All who have tried it agree that it is a valuable domestic remedy that should havo a plaoo in every well-rogulatod household. 2
