Due to the Newly-Discovered Brazilian Cancer Cure. 18 IT ONLY ANOTHER CUNDURANGO REMEDY? ‘There is a report afloat, based apparently on good foundation, that the phenomenal im- provement of General Grant's condition is due to the use of the Brazilian cancer cure, called alvelos, discovered by Dr. Velloso, of Pernam~ buco. The cure is the Juice of a Brazilian plant called aivelos, and which, it is claimed, has so far proved successful in that country in every case of cancer of the lips, tongue, nose, breasts, &c. A couple of months ago the State department received some of the medicine from Consul Wright, at Santos. It was turned over to the Pe eae eneral of the marine Hee ker service, and has been used for cancerous affections with spyarendy. ‘successful results. A druggist broker in New York keeps the medicine in stock, and it is supposed that some was procured from him to be used in General Grant's case, and it is said that he began to improve immediately after- wards. A few days ago some more alvclos was received at the State department from South America, and was sent, by direction of the Sec- aid Of State, toa member of General Grant's familly. The Sar lately gave some interesting par ticulare of the openness, of Capt. Jonn Duble with this remedy upon a cancerous affection upon his nose near the eye. mistakably healed over by the application of the alvelos Juice, but there has been some ques- tion whether it was true cancer. Since the fail- ure of the much-vaunted Cundurango cancer remedy (also from South America), to effect a permanent cure, the public will not put entire faith in any new remedy from the same quarter until it has been fully tested. s6s—-___ Affairs on the Isthmus.
