    Which aunt ? She has two/' I mean her aunt Thompson. After a long pause—Yes, I see her; she is an old lady, and is very ill. Can you see where she is ? No, I cannot see the name of the town. She was in Lincoln, is she there now ? No, she is travelling, or has been very lately. Can you tell where she is now ? No, I do not see any name to the place, but she has lived there before, and I can see the sea from the top of the house. Well, can you tell me what is the matter with her ? Her blood is in a very cancerous state. Has she a cancer ? Yes, a very bad one in the womb, it has almost killed her. Has she ever had a cancer before ? Yes, she has had one in one of her breasts many years ago. Which breast ? I feel it in the right, it will therefore very likely be her left. Can we do anything for her ? No, nothing whatever. After a pause—A little charcoal properly applied would relieve her, but there is no cure. You say the blood is in a cancerous state, what do you mean by that ? I. can hardly tell, but I see something in the blood which should not be there, and I see that it is that which causes the cancer. I was told the other day that the plant called the arch- angel is a good thing for the cancer, can you tell me if it is so ? It may do good to some people, but I see the plant, and it is an excellent thing for the liver. lleturning to the patient again. Can I do anything for her ?
