Dr. Clay uses it in combination wih sulphur, as he found by re-- ; ideated and varied experiments with other sub- stances that the Chian turpentine acted with uniform benefit in this combination! He describes as follows the first case in which, after long study of the subject, he attempted the use of the new remedy, on a woman who was taken to the hospital afflicted with cirrhous cancer of the cervix and body of the uterus. "Hemorrhage was excessive, pain of the back and abdomen agonizing, and cancerous eacbexia-we- ll marked. The patient evedently had not a long time to live. In such a case it appeared to I e justifiable to attempt to relieve the sufferings of the patient, even if the remedy should produce unfavorable symptoms, or should prove of no avail. I therefore prescribed Chtan terpentiner ix grains; flowers of sulphur, four grains; to be made in two pills, to be taken every four hours. No opiates were prescribed or lotion used. No rhange was to be made in her diet or occupation. On the fourth day after taking the medicine, the patient reported herself greatly relieved from d pain, and was in better spirits, but she of a large amount of discharge. It was feared that she referred to a discharge of a nature. On examination, however, the vagina'was found to be filled with dirty-whit- e secretion, so tenacious as to be capable of being pulled out rope-likand this although she had ny ringed herself three hours previously." After continuing the medicine 12 weeks with excellent effects, the patient suddenly went away without leaving any particulars by which final result could be learned. In his next case a woman 31 years of age the cancer was entirely removed t in about five weeks. Several other cases are reported of the complete cure of ;ancers in different parts of the body. In some instances the turpentine in the form of pills ould not be disgested, and the manager of the hospital dispensary prepa red: "An ethereal solution of Chian turpentine by dissolving 1 oz. of the turpentine in 2 oz. of pure niJphurJc ather (anesthetic). The ether dissolved the turpentine instantly.

The .sisters of the Relief Society gave me a feast before I left and sent love to all the sisters of the Relief Societies'm the valley.

Young visited us y on their way to St. George, and we gladly announced a meeting so that the brethren and sisters could have the opportunity of listening to these noble sisters. Our meeting room was filled. The meeting was called to order by President Adelia A. Kimball and od- ened with singing and prayer. Sister Kimball expressed her pleasure at receiving a visit from Sisters Snow and Youn, and hoped they would be blessed in their labors, and then introduced Sister Zina D. Young to the meeting. Sister Young made an eloquent and earnest appeal to all present, said our Relief Societies are a power for good amongst us. They are not only intended as a relief to the poor, but also a relief to the Bishops. The teachers of the Relief Societies should be filled with 'the Sjpirit of God. Said there seemed to be a lack of faith amongst us; but she had never seen greater manifestations of the healing power than of late; felt that the Latter-da- y Saints dil not appreciate the blessings of God as they ought. The blessings of the sealing ordinances were not appreciated the Prophet Joseph wa chastened before he accepted the law of Celestial Marriage. An Angel appeared to-da- to-hi- m |
