Excerpt from The Modern Treatment of Cancerous Diseases by Caustics or Enucleation: An Inquiry Into the Effects of Many New Remedies in Arresting the Progress of CancerSome years ago I removed with the knife a large cancerous breast from an elderly female, it was an Open ulcerated cancer, secreting profusely a foetid pus, and wearing the patient out with pain and discharge. I had no hope of doing more than relieving her for a time. After the operationi passed the actual cautery over the whole cut surface. I left the wound to heal by granu lation, for there was no integument to cover it. The wound healed well, and the patient made a good recovery. She has had no return of the disease, although it is more than twelve years since the operation, and the patient is more than seventy years of age.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
