  1. Social Cures:
    There is a man named Robert Harris residing at Stralusky who is very successful in treating external cancer and has accomplished some wonderful cures. He got this cure from his father who previously got it from his mother.
    There is a man named Pollard who cures jaundice in there locality. He gives the bark of a certain tree to the patient with directions to boil a small quantity of it in milk and to drink the boiled milk three or four times a day till he is cured.
