CURE FOR CANCER.

THE MOLASSES TREATMENT INVESTIGATED. SOME SATISFACTORY RESULTS. Particulars have come to hand respecting two cases of cancer at Goulbourn {says the “Sydney Morning Herald”), which are said to have been cured by the molasses treatment. A well-known citizen has fully investigated the matter, and as he has furnished us with a report on the result of his labours. He states that the cures are genuine. The first case lie enquired into was that of Mrs. Wilson, of North Goulbourn, who was found to lie well and strong and able to do her housework. Two years ago she was operated on at the Lewisham Hospital, and was declared to be incurable. She was suffering acutely at the time, and it was feared she would not live through the Journey to her home at Goulbourn. Her husband, who accompanied her, thought on two occasions during the journey that she was dead. After arriving home there seemed to be no hope. Her cough was distressing, and the pain very severe. The molasses treatment was advised and acted upon, and in a fortnight the cough was much relieved, and the general conditions of the patient improved. Twelve months later she was pronounced cured, and for the la?t twelve months has been in good health. She commenced with dessertspoonfuls of molasses three times a

day, hut there was a difficulty in keeping the stuff in the stomach. So a tablespoonful of soda water, with a. teaspoonful of brandy was given directly after taking the molasses. When she became strong enough two dessertspoonfuls were given at a time. Mrs. Wilson continues to take it daily. The second case investigated was that of a Mrs. Slater, of Goulbonrn, who is 45 years of age. Mrs. Slater was ill a long time, and the doctors, it is stated, could not discover the cause of her malady, hut four months ago three medical men pronounced it cancer. The growth, an internal one, was situated in an organ of the body, for which nothing could he done. Mrs. Slater was advised to take molasses, and in a few weeks her friends saw a great improvement. Her cough was easier and the pain much less. She has now been taking the molasses for four months, and there is said to be every hope of a permanent cure. This patient also ommenced with a tablespoonful of molasses, and the nurse had to give the soda water with brandy, as in Mrs. Wilson’s case. There were several relapses of pain in this case, and a poultice of molasses was applied to the part and relieved the pain. But on the whole the improvement has been permanent. In the second instance a correspondent wrote:— Great interest is being exhibited in Queensland in connection with an alleged cure for cancer discovered at Mackay months ago by a man named Braun, who cured himself with a special treatment in which a preparation of molasses formed an important part. Dr. Henze! I, medical officer for the district and resident surgeon in the Mackay Hospital, stated last week that two hospital patients, both suffering from a growth in the stomach, were being cured by the molasses treatment. The man had been under one operation, and the doctor had not the slightest doubt it is a case of true cancer. Regarding the second case Dr. Henzell is not positive it, is true cancer, as it is difficult to state definitely without operation. He, however, states that, in this case the patient suffered from a serious growth which is being eradicated by molasses.
