The following article is copied from an
Edinburgh paper:


""hlle was at Smyrna, there was
girl afflicted with the Cancer in her lin
and the gum was affected. The European
physicians consulted on the measures to h.
taken, ard agreed they saw no other meth
cd than TO cut it out; and the girl had al
ready submitted herself to that decision.
Dy an accident Of that nature which men
cannot account for, an old Armenian came
to them just in time TO prevent the applca>
ton fthe knife.


"Do nothing" said the Armenian, 81
will cure her," and when he had pledged
himself strongly, the physicians consented


"He procured copper vessel, newly
timed in the inside( an essential concur
rence,) ard having poured certain guam
tity Of olive oil into it he made it boil over
a small fire sufficiently 10 keep gently agi-
tated, and so for three times in "a hours.
With this, the oil resolved itselfto the con
sistency Of an ointment, and by constantly
rubbing the part affected, he cured her IN
ii days. Nothing else was done.


"The physicians supposed that the oil
received its virtue from the tin, and that it
was communicated by its long boiling over
the fire."
