A woman, aged fifty, with a swelling in the right breast, which had been noticed for six months and was increasing in size, applied at the Birmingham Hospital. The tumor was hard but movable, situated below the nipple, which was unmistakably retracted. Glands not enlarged, but much pain down right arm. It was decided the growth was cancerous, and that the breast should be removed. Preparatory to the operation, Belladonna was ordered internally, and, strange to say, in a fortnight's time all symptoms had disappeared and no trace of the tumor was to be discovered. – DOCTOR WINGFIELD, in Monthly Review.
