  You are requested to preserve this Pamphlet, and
srive the information to your friends, that Cancerous
diseases and  Tumors ran  be cured without  the use
of the knife, and with but little, if any pain.
                      Elkton, Oregon, Oct. 16, 1858.
  I, the subscriber, have been  afflicted with  cancer on  the
right side of the face, for the past three years, and employed
many so-called cancer-doctors, which caused a great amount
of suffering for many months, without affording any relief.
  At this stage of the  disease, I heard  of, and employed,
Dr. Blake, who perfectly destroyed the life of the cancer in
fifty minutes.  It was all out  and soundly healed in  three
weeks.   The application was attended  with little or no pain.
  I would advise all physicians to become acquainted with
Dr. B.'s mode of treating this most fearful of  all diseases, as
it is, in my opinion, the only treatment which any conscien-
tious physician would recommend after becoming acquainted
with it.
  The  Dr.  also  gave me  constitutional  treatment which
appeared to cleanse my blood from cancerous humor, and re-
stored me to good health.
  During the above  three weeks I conversed with many ot
Dr. B.'s patients, all  of whom were  doing well, and  seemed
much pleased with him in all respects.

 J. J REED, PRINTER, 43 CENTRE STREET
           1858 
            READ  AND   CONSIDER.

  The following pages are devoted to the testimony of those who
have availed themselves of my treatment of Cancer.
  Any treatment of disease that claims to be in advance_of what is
known to the profession, however clearly on scientific principles, or
uniformly commended by its power to heal, is sure to meet with op-
position.   In the treatment of Cancer this is the more to be expected,
inasmuch  as Cancer has been the opprobrium  of the profession.
By physicians, the world over, it has for the most part been regarded
as incurable.   If this is not so, why the  conviction universally per-
vading the  public mind, that all ordinary means to arrest it are
impotent ?
  No better evidence of this fact can be adduced than that the an-
nouncement to a patient, that the  disease is Cancer, alway sand in-
evitably shocks to depression the nervous system.
  Thesurgeon'sknife that promised to be the forlorn hope at least,
has demonstrated itself from years of  trial so incompetent to. cure
that no  one now expects, from its  use, any thing more  than  a
respite from an impending doom, and hence it is  turned from with
mingled dread and despair.
  Appropriate indeed is  the language of Dr. G-ood, to the treatment
of this most terrible disease, " The practise is melancholy from the
first.  The die is cast, almost if not  altogether  irrecoverably; and
all we can hope to  accomplish  is  to  postpone the  fatal  result; to
mitigate the sufferings of to-day, and suften the passage of the tomb."
  To those afflicted with Cancer,  I have more encouragement to
give.  By a perusal of the following  pages, they will  see, I claim
to have discovered  a remedy for the disease, that the cures  effected
by it have  been thorough; no return of the Cancer having ever
been known.
   Having proved it by twelve years of trial, I commend it with con-
fidence to the suffering.
  It was  with the urgent solicitation  of my friends, and many
neighboring physicians that I consented to publish this pamphlet,
and  give the public information in relation to the  remedy.
   Those who have  witnessed its application—physicians, clergymen,
and  friends, are united in their testimony that it is truly a wonder-
ful remedy.  Judging testimonials  of character  worth  most, from
those who know me best; I have referred to individuals among
whom I have lived, who know my life as an  individual  and physi-
cian, as well as the reputation I have acquired forcuving Cancer, for
many years past.

                THE   REMEDY.

  This remedy excells all others in the following particulars—
  1st.  The slight pain—and  in  many cases  none—which  it pro-
duces.   The majority of my operations are attended  with no pain
at all, only a slightly warm sensation, which  is compared by most
of my patients to the heat of the sun on a warm summer's day.
  2d. The Rapidity of its Operation.  The  time occupied in my
individual operation varies from fifteen to sixty minutes—the pa-
tient generally conversing as usual.   I have  destroyed many Can-
cers of over an inch in depth in fifty, and in one instance in twenty-
five minutes.   This is one of the best features of my remedy, for it
is on account of the  slowness  of their operation that most of the
so-called Cancer remedies fail to produce the desired effect. Cancers
if cured at all, must  be cured quickly: by so doing  that slow ant.
fatal irritation is avoided  which  attends the application of  all the
Cancer remedies used by others.  Slowness of operation and severity
of pain have been,  and still are, the  principal objections made by
the faculty against the so-called remedies , fortunately mine ia not
guilty of either. 
CANi2R CURED WITHOUT THE KNIFE.
3
   3d.  The Time occupied in Healing.  This varies from  three tc
 ten weeks, according to the health and age of the patient,  and the
 size of the Cancer.
   4th. The amount of Discharge Produced.   This commences in
 a few days after the operation, and continues abundant until the can-
 cerous degeneration is wholly removed.
   5 th. The slight surrounding Inflammation and Swelling which
 it produces.  This  is  hardly perceptible.  There is just enough to
 produce a sufficient discharge and healthy granulation.  The inflam-
 mation and swelling produced by most Cancer remedies, causes more
 pain and suffering, if possible, than the first application.
   6th. There is no Danger from taking cold.  The patient can
 generally pursue his usual business during the cure,  and is as free
 from pain and suffering in a few minutes after the operation as before.
   7th. There is no Draught upon the Constitution, and no Shock
 to the Nervous System.   The  pulse  of  the patient is not  even
 quickened during the operation.   My patients often improve much
 in health and  spirits before the healing process is completed.  In
 all cases where it  is necessary,  I give medicine to cleanse the blood
 and eradicate  the Cancerous poison  from the  system.   I consider
 this of the greatest importance in many cases.
   8th.  The Completeness of the Cure.   No Cancer  cured by this
 remedy has been known to return.
   9th.  This remedy is purely vegetable, and  contains no poisonous
 principles whatever.
   10th.  Its operation is not confined to Cancers.   I remove wens,
 moles, birth marks, tumors of various  kinds, and other similar
 difficulties, with but little pain, and in many instances the pain is
 so slight that  the operation is performed without the knowledge of
 the patient.
  After taking the above  advantages of my remedy into considera-
 tion, I think no one will have  any hesitation in saying, that it is
 truly one  of the most remarkable discoveries of the age, and will be,
 if properly used, the great and only Cancer Remedy of the world.
  A friend of  mine, Mr. Wm. J. Buck, New York City, on return-
ing from an operation  which he had witnessed, said  to me, " The
truth in relation to your remedy and its  operation, is too much to 
4
CANCER CURED WITHOUT rilE  KNIFE.
tell.   It is  a remedy of inestimable  value, and should  be made
known to the world."  So all have said  who  have witnessed it<j
application.
  The following Certificates are from a few of many persons I have
cured.   Please read their statements in relation to the remedy and
its operation.  I could procure many more testimonials and certifi-
cates in relation to  my remedy  and cures, but these, I think, are
sufficient to satisfy any one who has independence of character, and
thinks  for himself, that it is of inestimable value, and deserves the
attention and patronage of all who are afflicted with Cancer in any
of its forms.




                                    Raritan, Oct. loth, 1855.
  I take pleasure in acceding to Dr. Blake's request, that I would
make a statement of what his  remedy has done  in my case.   I had
been afflicted with Cancer in the Breast  for three years, when I
was recommended by  my attending Physician to apply to him.
  He entirely destroyed  the Cancer in fifty-five minutes, with but
little pain.
  At the expiration  of ten  days  the  Cancer came  out, leaving a
perfectly healthy surface, and  was entirely well  in five weeks.
  Drs. Edwards and Tuuison were present, and  highly approved of
the operation.  I have known of Dr. Blake operating upon a num-
ber of  Cancers, some  in  my immediate neighborhood, all of which
are  now  perfectly well.  I  would recommend all  afflicted, as I
have been, to apply to Dr. Blake, and  hope they will lose no time
in availing themselves of  his service.       Mrs. Asa R. Dilts.

                             Flemington, N. J., Oct. 24, 1855.
  For the benefit of those afflicted, I do hereby certify, that I had
a Cancer on my lip for eighteen months, which my attending Phy-
sician wished to remove  with  a knife, but I did  not comply with
his request,  fearing not only the pain, but that  it would return in a
short time, and be as bad or worse than ever.   At this time I was
advised by my friends to apply to Dr. Blake, which I did, and was
well in a few weeks  afrer the application  of his  remedy, without
suffering any pain.
   I now feel under great obligations to my friends  for their truly
friendly advice.  The remedy was only forty minutes in destroying

the Cancer, so that Dr. Blake  passed  a sharp instrument through
it without causing any pain.   Dr. Blake's remedy is truly wonder-
ful, on account of the  rapidity and ease of its operation, doing as
much in a few minutes, without pain, as any other I ever heard of
can do in several  weeks.                  Mrs. Abram Fulper.

                           Flemington, N. J., Nov.  5th, 1855.

   Dr. Blake—Dear Sir—The Cancer  on my lip,  which  you
operated on last Spring, was entirely  well in a few  weeks.   I  had
been afflicted with it many years, and  feel very thankful that I am
relieved from that dreadful disease which,  had  it not been for the
timely application of your remedy, would in time have destroyed my
life.  I had employed several physicians, and was under the care of
one six months, during which time he operated on me several  times,
which caused me  a great amount of suffering, and at the expiration
of the six months I thought it advisable  to discontinue the treat-
ment.
   Had I employed you many years before, I  should have been re-
lieved of as many years of mental and physical suffering.  I hope
that you will be as successful  in all other cases which you under-
take as you have  been with mine.  All the other patients on  which
you have operated in this neighborhood, are also well.
                                         Mrs. Rachel Reed.

   The above Cancer was  considered past  cure by all who had seen
it  previous to the operation, but fortunately  they were  mistaken
and happily disappointed.

                         New  Germantown, Sept. SO^A, 1855.
   I, the subscriber, had a very bad Cancer on my under lip, which
had been removed three times  with the knife;  the last time by Dr.
Valentine Mott, New York City.  But notwithstanding it returned
again.   My lip was drawn so  tightly across my teeth that  it was
with great difficulty I could  speak.   Dr. Blake cured the Cancer
in three weeks, and also released the  tightness so that I now have
no difficulty in talking.   I take great  pleasure in announcing  to the
public this wonderful cure, and hope that all who are  afflicted with
Cancer, instead of resorting to the knife, will apply  to Dr. Blake.
                                          John P.  Hoffman.

   The above certificate is sufficient to satisfy any one of the supe-
riority of my remedy over the  knife.                   G-. T. B.

CANCER CURED WITHOUT THE  KNIFE.
                                   Lebanon, Oct.  Xlth, 1855.
  To whom it may concern.'—This  certifies that I, the subscriber,
had a Cancer the size of a chestnut on my nose, near the corner of
my eye.   It had been there ten years.  For the last six months it
had increased very rapidly, and had become very painful.  At this
time I secured  the services of Dr. G. T. Blake, who entirely  des-
troyed the Cancer in forty minutes.  At the expiration of this time
Dr. Blake passed a sharp instrument in two directions through the
Cancer, without my feeling it.
  I experienced no pain at all during the operation, and could have
gone to sleep at any time, so perfectly painless was the remedy.   I
am now well.                                 John Everitt.
  The above-mentioned  Cancer had been open  and discharged for
six months.                                        G. T. B.

  Wc, the undersigned,  take pleasure in advising all afflicted with
that dreadful disease.  Cancer, to avoid the knife, a most painful and
uncertain  remedy, and have recourse  without delay  to Dr. Blake,
who will entirely cure them in a short time, with little, and in manj
instances, no pain.
  We all speak from personal experience, having been ourselves re-
lieved  from Cancers  by the application of his truly invaluable
remedy.
  This remedy  speaks for itself, and will not disappoint, like other
Cancer  remedies, those  wise enough to apply  in season to  Dr.
Blake.

   This certifies that my daughter, ten years of age, had a very un-
pleasant- looking birth-mark on  her face.  It was one inch and a
half long and three-fourths  of  an  inch wide, covered with dark-
colored hair, and constantly increasing in size.  We were fearful it
would injure the appearance of our daughter very much.
   Dr. Blake removed it last spring in twenty-five minutes, without
causing any pain.   She laughed most  of  the  twenty-five  minutes.
We are highly pleased with the change  in her appearance.

   I, the subscriber, had a child, eighteen months old, with a large,
red, elevated mark on the  left  cheek, which I was  fearful would
become cancerous.  Dr. Blake removed it in  twenty-five minutes
from the time the medicine was applied, without the least pain.   It
had previously been burnt out with caustic, but it returned.

   The  following is from a  very respectable Physician,  well  ac-
quainted with the nature and treatment of Cancer.

                   TO THE AFFLICTED.

                                   Raritan, Oct.  16th, 1855.
   I do  hereby certify that I have witnessed the application of  Dr.
G. T. Blake's celebrated Remedy  for the eradication and complete
cure of cancerous affections; and judging from what I have seen
of its curative powers  in some  bad forms of that malignant  and
alarming disease  in my practice, I can cheerfully say I believe it
adequate to the cure of that  disease, as much  or more so than  the
knife, and  has the  advantage of  being more speedy and attended
with less pain than  perhaps any other remedy known to the medical
profession ; and lodged as it  is in  the hands of  Dr.  Blake, a gentle-
man of acknowledged ability and skill as a Physician, I can recom-
mend him to the confidence of the afflicted.

   The following is from Dr. W. W.  Hedges, who  has been in  the
practice of medicine  over forty years, and has seen a great many

 ed wrth constant burning and shooting pain of six or eight years
 standing, and for the last six months had ulcerated and discharged.
   The Remedy was applied for about forty minutes without giving
 any pain ;  but on the contrary, the patient expressed himself re-
 lieved, soon  after the Remedy  was applied, of  the constant pain
 which he had suffered.   This feature alone, without considering its
 other advantages, must convince people of its superiority over the
 painful, cruel, and  in  some instances, barbarous use of the knife.
 At  the expiration of the above-mentioned time, the Remedy was
 removed, and about  half the Cancer came off with it.  At the re-
 quest of Dr. Blake, I passed a  sharp instrument deep into the re-
 maining portion of the Cancer, without producing any pain.   The
 cure was complete in a few weeks.
   Dr. Blake is a neighboring  Physician, and I know  him to  be a
 man of good standing, both in  and out of  his  profession, and I
 would earnestly  recommend all  who  are  afflicted with Cancer to
 avail themselves  of his Remedy and operation, rather than undergo
 the  many  painful and tedious operations of the so-called Cancer
 doctors, who, in most instances,  are  non-professional men,  and
 know nothing of the nature, growth, varieties, &c, of the disease
 they pretend to cure.                 Y\tm. W. Hedges, M. D.  .

   The following  is from R.ev. J. C. Duy, Pastor of the  Lutheran
 Church, New Germantown, Hunterdon Co., New  Jersey:
   This may  certify  that  I have been  well  acquainted  with  Dr.
 Blake for two years; that he is a near neighbor of mine, and my
 family Physician.  His practice in this region of  country is exten-
 sive, and he enjoys, in an eminent degree, the esteem and confidence
 of the community.
   His remedy for Cancer is a remarkable medicine.   It effects an
 entire, safe, speedy, and  easy  cure of this  justly dreaded disease.
 In most cases, Cancers are  completely removed with little or no pain
 to the patient.   A sincere desire to be instrumental in relieving the
 sufferings of  the afflicted, leads me earnestly to recommend all  con-
 cerned to Dr. B., persuaded that they  will find speedy relief.  I
 may add that the Dr. makes no charge for advice.

But until now did not deem it proper to give public testimony to
your success.  Having within the past twenty-four hours met with
a lady, cured of  a Cancer of several years standing by your remedy,
I felt that it was not only due to yourself but to suffering humanity,
fchat your great success should be made known.  The only difficulty
I feel in the case, arises from the fear that if  I should state all 1
knoiv to be true, my object would be defeated.  For truth is some-
times stranger than fiction.   And  yet I can testify  from observa-
tion and  personal acquaintance with some of your  patients, that
your remedy for the removal of this  insidious and fatal disease is
truly wonderful.  I am credibly informed that very slight pain ac-
companies your application,  in many  cases none at all.   That the
wound heals rapidly, and unlike all other remedies it causes no in-
flammation and no swelling  about  the parts diseased.   I under-
stand ttiat you engage  to do in  fifty  minutes what other remedies
require  four weeks to effect.
  This  fact alone, apart  from the  consideration that your remedy
is complete, that it gives no pain, and that no case  has returned
under your mode of treatment within  the past ten years, ought to
remove  every fear from the mind of the sufferer, and encourage him
to apply to you without delay.
  Having  served in my family as Physician  during a part of my
ministry, when  affliction  pressed most heavily upon us, I can and
do most cheerfully bear  testimony to your  skill and success as a
regular  Physician, and  to your conduct as a gentleman and upright
man.
  If you feel disposed to do so, you are  at liberty to use this hasty
note in whatever way you  please to promote your interest, while
saving multitudes from a loathsome and untimely death.
                         Yours, very respectfully,
                                            Charles Wood.
  The following is from Rev. John L. Janeway, Pastor of Presby-
terian Church, Flemington, Hunterdon Co., N. J:
  I have been acquainted with Geo. T.  Blake for some time past,
and can certify to his having been  regularly graduated  at the New
York Medical University, and that he  has  been licensed by the

CANCER CURED WIT HO". T THE Kf FE.
for the last sixteen months, that he is a regular Physician, and haa
been my family physician  during the above-mentioned time.  His
reputation is established in  this section as a skillful and successful
practitioner in the  healing art; and in the destroying and  curing
of Cancers, I believe he has no rival.
   Through his kindness I was  permitted to witness the operation
of his remedy on two Cancers, on the face  of Mrs. II----,  a very
aged lady.  I had seen caustics applied on the face of a mother for
the curina' of a Cancer,  and had seen her agony, and yet  all to no
purpose.  I was, therefore, the more  desirous  of  witnessing the
operation  of Dr. Blake's Remedy.   The ointment was applied, and
it  remained on some forty minutes, during which time I conversed
with the lady and made particular inquiry if the remedy was pain-
ful ?  She answered, " It  is not, but it has an itching or smarting
sensation."
   She then informed me, that  she had endured an extremely pain-
ful operation on one of those Cancers some  years since, under the
direction of another physician, but this was nothing compared with
that.  At the  expiration  of  forty  minutes, the ointment was re-
moved, and  a fine needle punctured the now dead Cancer  to the
depth of a quarter of an inch,  to  convince us that the painless but
certain destruction of the Cancer was complete.
   I visited the lady quite frequently, until the sores were healed,
which was about nine weeks.   So far as I can judge,  the cure was
perfect and entire.  With the knowledge of this case, and two other
neighbors  of mine, cured  by  Dr. Blake's Remedy, I believe it to
be superior to all  other  remedies, and that it will accomplish as
much in fifty minutes, with little or no pain, as others will in four
or five weeks with great pain.   This remedy produced no  swelling
or surrounding inflammation  in  the  above case.   I  am informed
there is  no danger of taking cold.   Ye  hitherto hopeless sufferers,
give not up to despair.   There is a remedy without the knife, and
without  painful cauterization.         W. Williams Christine.

               CANCER CURED  WITHOUT THE  KNIFE.             11

              Lebanon, Hunterdon  Co., N. J., Oct.  i4th, 1856.

  T-'.is is to certify, that  my wife had a cancer on her arm, which
had been growing for several years,  attended at times with an itch-
ing, stinging pain.   It increased in size, and the pain, at times, was
quite  severe.  Dr. G. T. Blake was called upon,  -who  entirely re-
moved the cancer in thirty minutes,  and in a manner  without pain.
It readily healed up in the course of a few weeks.  It  is now six-
teen months since  the operation.   I  consider  it entirely cured and
certain not to return.
  I would recommend all those that are afflicted with  cancers to
consult Dr. Blake, as his cure is certain, and is attended with scarcely
any pain.   I, of my own personal knowledge, know and have seen
a number of persons that he  has operated upon, and all  consider
themselves cured ; a part of them had been operated  upon by other
Physicians, and given up as incurable.

  The following is from Mr. J. L. Crowley, editor of  the Elizabeth
Tribune:
                            Elizabeth, N /., Dec.  10th, 1856.

  Having witnessed in this city, on the  1st inst., an operation of
Dr. G. T. Blake's Remedy for the Cure of a Cancerous  Affection, I
deem it both a pleasure and a duty to make public my observations
and impressions in relation thereto.
  The case  was  that of a lady aged  about 25  years,  apparently in
good  health.  The part affected was the right breast, about  three
inches above the nipple, outside the gland, in  the direction of the
arm-pit.  The symptoms of cancer as described by herself were itch-
ino- and smarting, accompanied at times by crawling sensations, and
at others by sharp, shooting pains.   Within a few  days  previous to
the operation, she experienced very violent pains, and on two  suc-
cessive nights was awakened from sound  sleeps in consequence of
the severe pains.   Externally, the cancer  had somewhat the appear-
ance of a bile in  its incipient stages;  to the touch,  it appeared to be
about the size of a large chestnut.   The patient said  that once oi
twice  a scaly substance had dropped off from the point of the cancer.
Dr. Blake api^liecl his remedy to the  cancerous part—a circle about
the  size of a shilling piece—and in forty-five minutes  from the time
of application the cancer was effectually destroyed, so  that the pas-
sage of a large  needle into the dead flesh, to the depth of three-
quarters of an inch (actual measurement)  gave not the slightest pain
to the patient.  During the operation, the patient repeatedly ex-'
pressed herself in  reply to inquiries, as experiencing scarcely any
pain from the ecaKts of the remedy,  and the pain produced  by the 
 12             CANCER  CURED WITHOUT THE KNIFE.

 cancer was sensibly lessened from  the time  the remedy began to
 operate.  No imflammation, and but very little irritation was appa-
 rent about the parts contiguous to the cancer  after the removal of
 the  application.  I have thus given  a plain statement of the symp-
 toms of this case, and the effect of Dr.  Blake's Remedy.  My im-
 pression in regard to the remedy is, that it  is painless, safe, sure,
 and speedy, and as much superior to the barbarous knife system as
 the  railroad-car is to the old-fashioned, lumbering stage-coach.  To
 say  the least,  the operation of the remedy was  truly wonderful, and
 its virtues should be widely known.             J. L.  Crowley.

   The following is  from D.  E. Smith, M.D., who  is engaged in an
 extensive practice  of medicine in Brooklyn, Long Island.   He is
 also well known in  many parts of New Jersey :

                             Brooklyn, L. I, Nov. 12th, 1856.
   Dr. Blake—Permit me to express to you my entire  satisfaction
 in the operation  of your Cancer Remedy.  Having had occular
 proof at two  different successful applications  on my own patients,
 and  from the quickness of the operation, the comparative freedom
 from pain, and the completeness of the cure,  I am free to  acknowl-
 edge that in those cases, at least, it has accomplished all  that you
 claim for it.   I would unhesitatingly recommend all who are suffer-
 ing from this truly dreadful  disease to apply your  remedy at once,
 especially in the incipient or forming stage.
                                       Very truly yours,

                             Allenlown, N. J., Nov.  11, 1856.

  Dr. G. T. Blake—Dear Sir—At your request, I will cheerfully
 certify my^ confidence in the  efficacy of your Cancer Remedy, hav-
 ing tried it myself with success, and  witnessed its happy  effects
 on others. _ I feel prepared to recommend it to all afflicted with that
 dreadful disease, confident that if applied in the early stage it will
 prove effectual.                       Yours,  truly,

  I,  the subscriber,  had a red spot growing on my face for four
years.  My physician told me it was a  cancer.  Dr. G.  T. Blake's
Remedy was  applied twenty-eight minutes.   It was well in five
weeks.  I have attended to  my usual duties all the time with but
little inconvenience.                            Mary Beardbr.

   I hereby certify that I had a lump growing on my face for seve-
 ral years._  _ I was told by my neighbors that it was a cancer.   Also,
 two physicians, whom I consulted, told  me the same thing, and ad-
 vised me to  employ  Dr. Blake.  I  did so.   The operation lasted
 thirty-five  minutes, with  but very little pain.   It healed in five or
 six weeks.   I am now perfectly well.  I  would say to those who
 have  cancers, apply to Dr.  Blake, as I believe his to be the easiest
 and most successful remedy known.          Geo. T. Bearder.

                  Mendham, Morris Co., N. J., Nov. 5, 1856.

   This certifies that  I have been  afflicted with Cancer for two
 years and  a  half, accompanied with  sharp, stinging and burning
 pains, and  during the last six months, unpleasant quivering sensa-
 tions.   Hearing of the great success of Dr.  Blake in curing Cancer,
 I  was induced to apply to him.  His operation only lasted ninety
 minutes, during which time the  Cancer was entirely destroyed.  I
 have  had no pain or unpleasant sensations  since  the operation, and
 lave  been  able to attend to my usual  duties during the whole time.
 f he cancer was about the size of a hen's egg.  I had shown it to sev-
 eral physicians, all of whom pronounced it Cancer.   It is now well.

                 From the Hunterdon Gazette.

   Dr. G. T.  Blake.—This gentleman, who has attained a wide-
 spread and well-deserved reputation  in the curing  of Cancers and
 Cancerous  Complaints, has  removed from  his former residence in
 New  Germantown, in this county, to  Elizabeth City, where he is
 practicing  on a more extended scale than ever. There are many
 about here who are ready to certify (and have certified) to the vir-
 tues of the Doctor's remedies and practice, in this intricate and fear-
 ful form  of disease.   He has effected  complete and radical cures in
 our immediate neighborhood, of cases which were supposed past re-
 covery ;  and has still several on hand, which are  rapidly improving.
 Personally, the Doctor is a most agreeable gentleman, and we re-
 joice  at  his merited success.

   Dr. G. T. Blake—Dear  Sir—At your request I give the history
of one of your  truly wonderful cures.   My wife  was  afflicted  with
a cancer  in the  breast for about eight months—it had grown to the
size of a hen's egg.   By the application of  your remedy it was en-
tirely  dtetrby¥d in t?Wo h'tturs—and in  six w"eeks entirely henled up

CANCER CURED  WITHOUT  THE KNIFE.
 Such facts as these should be published to the world, and it should
 be understood that there is a certain and easy cure for this dreadful
 disease, generally considered incurable.     William B. Prall.

                                  Plainfield, Essex Co., N. J.
   This is to  certify that I  was afflicted with cancer  on the side of
 ay nose  and upper lip for fourteen years.  During the last  few
 years it had become very painful, and  wras  attended  with burning,
 smarting, and itching sensations, which w-cre,  at times, almost unen-
 durable.   At other times it felt as though it was full of live insects
 in motion.  Extreme heat or cold had a tendency to increase all the
 above  sensations, so that I was unable to attend to my usual house-
 hold duties.   Several physicians had  attempted to cure it, but did
 lot succeed.   The cancer at this time was about the size of a silver
 dollar.  I was fearful it was past cure, and was  very much discour-
 aged.  Under these circumstances, I employed Dr. G. T. Blake, who
 applied his medicine for sixty minutes, at the expiration of this time
 the cancer had become perfectly dead, and turned black.   I have had
 no pain, itching, smarting, burning,  or quivering sensations in it
 since.  It came  out in about ten days from  the  operation, and was
 entirely healed up in three weeks.  I am now well and able  to  at-
 tend to my usual duties.  You have the privilege of using this cer-
 tificate any way you please to relieve the sufferin:.'-.

   This certifies  that Dr.  George  T.  Blake,  removed a large wen
 from the head of the subscriber, in forty minutes, without any pain.
 There  was only a slight warm sensation.   I  would recommend   his
 mode of treatment in preference to any in my knowledge, as  there
 is  no fear of the  knife and no loss of blood.  Tno.  H. Allen,

    I  hope the above certificate will be  satisfactory to all wdio are
 afflicted with wens or tumors of any kind, and  induce  them to adopt
our mode  of treatment, as we believe it to be the only rational treat-
 ment,  especially  for  those who object to the frightful pain which is
caused by the use of the knife.   Erysipelas,  which frequently fol-
lows the use of the knife, with all  its fearful results,  has never  at-
tended this treatment.    I  have removed four wens from the head
of  a lady in  a few minutes, without any  unpleasant sensation, only
a slight warmth,  sucli as Mr. Alleu speaks of in the above certificate,

  The following is one of the most remarkable cases on record—
it being now nearly two years since the operation.  I heard from
him yesterday.  He is  now entirely well:—
                                  Fast on, January 16, 1851. • '
  Dr. G. T. Blake,—Dear Sir :—In justice  to yourself, and that
all who may be afflicted with cancers may know where they can
be cured, I have concluded to inform you of the apparent success
of your treatment in my case, the particulars of which are as
follows  :—
  For twenty years past, I have been afflicted with a cancer on
the right side of my face, near the inner angle of the eye ; for a
long  time I paid but little attention to it, but its growth being
steady,  and  the  pain becoming more severe, I commenced using
remedies for its  cure about fifteen years since, but all seemed of
no avail.  During the last five  years I have repeatedly had it
burned, but  it always grew again, and in fact seemed to grow
much faster after every burning operation.  The pain increased
until it became almost unendurable ; for years I was not able to
sleep  more than two or three hours a night, and  many nights
did not sleep at  all.
  I had finally given up all hopes of having  a cure performed,
and made up my mind to be eaten up alive—as I cannot compare
the sensation that I experienced to  anything nearer—as if it
were  filled  "with creeping  and  eating insects continually in
motion.
  V\7hen in  May last  my  son  got possession of  one of your
printed circulars, and after reading many of the testimonials (a
number of which were from persons  with whom  he was ac-
quainted), he prevailed on me to give your  remedy a trial. You
are aware of the operation that I underwent, and will excuse me
when I say that it was a very painful one, but of all this you had
the frankness to inform me before you commenced.   Nor could I
have expected it otherwise, as my face was sore  at the time—I
could not bear the slightest touch upon it, and the cancer  had
grown from  the under eyelid to the point of  the nose, covering
at least half of my cheek.  The operation lasted an hour, and I
being an old man, felt very much debilitated  after  the perform-
ance,  but after arriving at home  I lay down in bed, and for the
first  time in  my recollection for ten  years, slept soundly  all
night.
  From that day, it being now seven months, I have not expe-
rienced  the  least cancer  pain.  My face  has  been graduajjjjr
healing, and  bids fair to  become completely healed.  Haviftg

lived seventy years, and the last twenty in great distress, I am
truly grateful at the prospect of spending the rest of my days in
comfort.  You are at liberty to refer to me all who may doubt
the efficiency of your  remedy, and I will  cheerfully tell them
how I felt seven months ago and how I feel now.
             Truly and gratefully, I am,

                                 Elizabeth, N. J.        )
  Dear Sir:—I take pleasure in bearing testimony to your treat-
ment of cases of cancer : having wTatched many cases under the
operation of your remedies, I feel justified in affirming that you
possess  the secret of a  rapid, radical, and  permanent cure.
Your remedy is safe in its application, prompt and uniform in
its action,  reliable and permanent  in  its  results.   It  leaves
nothing to be desired by those who seek relief from this dreadful
malady.
  All former  remedies, to  my knowledge, have  been experi-
ments—and generally  very cruel ones—rather  than scientific
competency proceeding upon a fixed principle and formula to a
fixed and determined end.  Even in the best cancer remedies
known heretofore, the issue was always involved in more or less
of doubt ; and when after forty or fifty days of terrible physical
suffering (equivalent to  ordinary  years  in their exhausting
action on the nerves)—when, after this terrible ordeal, the sem-
blance of a cure had  been obtained, we  were always left in
doubt as to whether, or how  soon, there would  be  a relapse ;
and even when the malady received a vigorous check, it was at
the cost of implanting poisons in the system, which would most
probably give  trouble, almost equal with  the original evil, in
some other shape, and before many months were over.
  In thus referring to the  ill success of other remedies, I do so
in no captious spirit—though free to confess that they have
often  and sadly disappointed me  ; but recalling the sad results
of what  has been done before me in this department, I am the
more inclined to admire and bear witness to the perfection and
reliability of your present discovery.
  With assurance that, in  the discharge  of my  duty, I shall
send all sufferers from cancer who may fall within my sphere to
obtain the relief why h you alone (so far as my knowledge goes)

   The following is  from Dr. J. Green, of this town, who is  en-
 gaged in an extensive  practice, and well acquainted with the
 various modes  of treating cancer, having been in the practice of
 medicine for the last twenty years :—
                         Elizabeth, New Jersey, July 28th, 1851.
   The subscriber having been acquainted with Dr. Blake, and
 also with his treatment of cancers, for a long  time, would un-
 hesitatingly recommend  his mode of  treatment of that fearful
 disease,  in preference to any of the numerous modes known to
 the Medical Profession.
   I  have witnessed Dr. Blake's operations several times, all of
 which were perfectly successful  and satisfactory  to  all con-
 cerned.  This remedy will, in all probability, be the only one
 used in  the treatment  of cancers,  five or ten years hence,
 as it combines all the advantages, and none of the disadvan-
 tages, of all other modes of treal ment.
   Therefore it removes all objections urged by the fraternity.  I
 hope the Medical Profession will not treat the remedy  with ne-
 glect, but give it a liberal patronage, for it has mzrits w Inch are
 worthy of the attention and patronage of  all.

   Dr. Blake,—Dear Sir:—Thinking perhaps it might be a benefit
 to my fellow men afflicted  with cancer, I testify to  what you
 have done for me.
   About two years  ago I had something  growing on my hand,
 which I  showed to a dozen or  more Physicians.  They pro-
 nounced  it cancerous, and advised me to have it removed. I am
 happy in testifying  to the  completeness  of your  remedy, as it
 gave me no pain whilst it was being  applied, which was forty
 minutes.  It is now over one year since the operation, and there
 is no return of the disease.                  Geo. F. Crater.

                        B&kmaris Mills, N. J July 23d,  1851.
  This certifies that I had a cancer on  my under lip the size of a
hazle nut, which was quite painful.  It had been growing seven
months.  Dr. Blake removed it with very little  pain, and it is
now quite well.                              John Herder.

                                  Brooklyn, July 19th, 1851.
  Dr. Blake,—Dear Sir :—I take this  opportunity to express my
gratitude to you, for the  removal of that very bad birth-mark
from the breast of my infant child.
  Your remedy was only twenty-five minutes in removing it.
The first ten minutes my child cried a little, the last fifteen  she
slept, and was perfectly free from pain.
  A cure had been attempted by our family Physician before we
called on you, by plunging fifty white hot needles  into  the dis-
eased mass, which only aggravated the trouble, and caused my
child a great deal of pain.  It is now perfectly well.  The mark
was about the size of a silver dollar, of a dark purple  color, and
very much swollen at times.
  It was rapidly increasing in size when I applied  to you, there-
fore we determined to have it removed as soon as possible.

                      Brooklyn, Long Island, July  29th,  1851.
  For the benefit of those afflicted I  give the following certifi-
cate :—
  I had a cancer on my back one foot  in circumference ; it pro-
truded at one point about two inches,  and was of a dark red or
purple color.
  Last fall  it commenced troubling me very much,  so that I
gave up business and put myself under  the care  of Dr. Blake.
At this time many of my relatives and friends thought I could
never be cured.  I am happy now in being able to state that my
cancer is perfectly well,  and I  am  again  engaged in active
business.
  Eight  or ten Physicians were present and witnessed Dr. B.'s
operations.  All were highly pleased and favorably disappointed
in the result.  This was considered a  very remarkable cure by
all who  had knowledge  of  it.   I will cheerfully give any one
information who wishes it, in regard  to Dr. Blake or his treat-
ment of cancers.                           Charles  Taylor.

 "■■This  may  certify that  Geo. T.  Blake, M. D., of New German-

City of New York, and that he has been very successful in the treat-

safe and rapid in its effects, and attended with little pain.
  I would further state that Dr. Blake 1*3 a gentleman of intellec-

  Flemington, Nov. 24ih, 1S55.

  From J. F. Dumont, Attorney,  of Hunterdon Co., N. J:

  This is to certify that I am well and intimately acquainted with
Dr. Blake; have known him  ever  since  he has been a resident of
New Jersey.  That as a scientific and skillful Physician, he has but
few,  if any superiors in New Jersey.   He is a graduate of the New
York University of Medicine, and  a licentiate of the State Medical
Society, of New Jersey;  that  he is  extensively patronized  in  his
profession.  I know him to be a high-minded, talented, and gentle-
manly man, worthy of the excellent reputation he enjoys.
  I may also say that I have witnessed some of his operations  for
the cure  of Cancer, which were truly wonderful, killing the Cancer
in a few minutes, simply by applying the  remedy  to the parts
affected, causing little or no pain.  One of those operated upon
said  that the sensation produced by the remedy was like that caused
by a sunburn.  Two operations, Mrs. Gioff's and J. S. Smith's, which
I witnessed, were performed in thirty minutes; after which I saw
Dr. Blake take an  instrument and pass it through the parts, causing

ington, N. J., which lasted about  forty minutes.  The excresence
or cancerous lump was about the size of a large pea, upon the upper
lip.  After this  operation, the Doctor passed an  instrument through
the Cancer, and  in  the centre  there was a jet of matter.   From
appearances, it must, in a short time, have been a running Cancer.
Mrs. Fulper  stated, at  the time of the operation, that it had been
painful at times  previous to the operation.
  All of these persons were well of the operation in from four to
five weeks.  These cases are a few  of the many persons that I know
him to have cured.   Dr.  Blake's Remedy is entirely free from  the

 which  have been  perfectly  successful  in producing  speedy cures.
 Dr. Blake's Remedy has the reputation of being one of the most

   In October, 1856, I  was taken with a disease in the right cheek,
which caused me much  suffering for some eight months.
   In the  mean while I submitted to  several surgical operations,
without any beneficial results.   It still grew worse.
   In September,  1857, I went to  Philadelphia;  while there I had
another operation, and  svringed my cheek  three times a day.  I
stopped at the Union Hotel.  Dr.  Blake  was there  at the "same
time.   Having been introduced to him,  I was invited to his room.
   After an examination by  the Dr., he informed me that he had a
medicine which would  cure  my cheek  without any surgical opera-
tion.  I accordingly took  one bottle home with  me, and by its use
my cheek  is now entirely  cured.  I would say to all  who may be
afflicted with cancerous or scrofulous diseases, to  try  his remedy,
with the assurance of a  speedy cure.

NEWTON  ON  CANCERS.
   J"he following remarks are taken from the Western Medical News,
 juiied and published by Prof. Newton :
   " It has required many years of careful  attention and success in
 this branch of the profession, to warrant me in making this public
 announcement; but with this, as with all other malignant diseases,
 it requires years to  test their  radical cure, and the treatment pur-
 sued has stood the test for years.  The curability of this disease is
 as fully established as that of any other which man is heir to.
   " I am decidedly  opposed to the old, threadbare opinion taught
 by the medical schools for ages  past, and adopted by their disciples
 as authority, without ever investigating the subject for themselves,
 that cancer is primarily a constitutional disease. 'I am fully satis-
 fied that the disease has a local  cause for its origin, which I conceive
 to be entozoa, or cancerous animalcula (which fact I made known to
 the public some six years ago,) and that it  becomes a constitutional
 disease only when these animalcula become  sufficiently developed
 and strong enough to overcome the natural resisting action of the
 system.  They have  an inherent tendency  to eat up or  destroy con-
 tiguous parts.   * * *   As a general thing, the powers of the sys-
 tem are not destroyed for some  time.   As this  disease  is clearly a
 local  one, dependent  on these  animalcula, it should be treated by
 local  applications, such as will kill entozoa,—body and  roots  or
■branches—these being the reproducing cause when the knife is used.
 By the suppurative process which is brought about, the entire action
 of the parts is changed.  By this method the disease may be radically
 cured.
   " We frequently hear medical men say, if cancer is a local disease
 why can it not be cured with the knife ? and that the idea of these
 cancers having roots  or fibres, is speculative.   There is no specula-
 tion about it, and the reason that nearly every case fails to be cured
 where the knife  alone is  depended  on, is because these roots or
 fibres are not reached by it, and they remain as germs for reproduc-
 tion.  Sir Astley Cooper is of the opinion above expressed: ' When

you diasect a schirrus tumor, you will see a number of roots proceed
ing to a considerable distance.' "
  As to the cause or origin of the " cancer animalcula" themselves,
it is a fact, observes Prof. N., in conclusion, that the " decomposition
of organic bodies always gives rise to the production of other organic
bodies, "whose particular form and  character depend on  the greater
or less rapidity with which the  decomposition progresses, as well as
upon the particular constituents of the substance undergoing decom-
position.
  ■" We have long maintained that cancerous animalcula owe their
origin to a gradual decomposition of certain parts where obstructions
occur in consequence of blows,  long-continued pressure,  and, indeed,
from any cause which produces the necessary degree of  obstruction.
A large  majority of cancers can  be usually traced, by  patients, to
blows received sometime  previous to their manifestation.   Others
cannot be satisfactorily traced to any cause.   However, we usually
find them in places where the rim of a hat presses upon the forehead,
where a garter or boot presses upon the leg, a pipe or cigar upon the
lip or tongue, or where a hat or cap string rests upon the ear;  also
upon the eyes, nose, cheeks, breasts, or other parts, where blows are
likely to have been received.  In any situation they are the  result
of an  obstruction which causes  a gradual decomposition  of  the  sur-
rounding parts, and from which decomposition originate the cancer
animalcula.   And the formation and generation of these animalcula
arc  almost always observed by patients long before they are  aware
of the presence of cancer—their action upon the nerves  of the parts
producing an impression as if a hair, or something similar,  was irri-
tating or tickling them, and which the patient often endeavors t»
rub or brush  off.
  Dr. B. gives particular attention to the treatment of the following
diseases—Scrofula in all its  forms—Rickets—Fistulas—Abscesses
and Tumors of all kinds as well as Cancer—combining constitutional
with local treatment—thus seeking to eradicate the virus from the
system, as well as cure the local disease.   Dr. B. may be consulted

              j£^= READ THE  TESTIMONY

     OF  THE REV.  MR.  WOOD,  AS  GIVEN  BEL01V.

                               Philadelphia, August 5th, 1857.
My Dear Sir :
       #######

  While  attending the Commencement Exercises  of La Fayette  Col-
lege,  in Easton, last week, I was introduced to Melchior Horn, who was
cured by  Dr. Blake, about eighteen months since, of a painful and loath-
some Cancer of more than twenty years standing.
  Its locality was the right side of the Avcc.  It gradually grew in size
until it had spread over the greater part of the face, eating away nearly
one half of  the nose, extending up to and destroying a part of the eye-
lid, and causing  so  much suffering that, to use his own words, he had
'; to walk the floor night after night for years."   This Cancer was  so
loathsome and offensive that his presence was often  insufferable.  His
meals, for the same reason, were taken alone.  In this condition, after
he had tried the usual remedies in vain, he was induced, although nearly
eighty years old, to try your Remedy.  He accordingly repaired to New
Germantown to  Dr. Blake.  The  case was considered  by even the
Doctor as a doubtful one. so far had the malady progressed in its work
of destruction.   But at the earnest request of Mr. Horn, whose hope
was to be relieved of his suffering, rather than to be effectually cured  of
the disease, the  Doctor  applied  his  Remedy.  The result is a com-
plete, permanent cure.  As the old man sat  in his " old arm-chair." re-
citing his painful experience, and telling how successful the Doctor had
been, his  eyes filled, his hoary head shook, and raising both hands from
his chair, exclaimed with grateful emotions, c< Tell the Doctor I am
cured—that I  have no  pain—that I sleep as soundly as ever—have a
good appetite.   Tell him to send me a large number of. his pamphlets,
I want to send them to the four quarters of the earth," and, continued
the old man. •' if you, Sir,  have any friends, or even enemies, suffering
from Cancer, send them without delay to Dr. Blake.
                         Yours,                  Charles  Woov. 
  The following is  the opinion and recommendation of several liberal-
minded  Physicians, now  engaged in  active  practice in the  city of
Brooklyn.                                               G. T. B.
  We, the undersigned Physicians practising at the places below stated,
are acquainted with Dr. G. T. Blake, and know him to be a thoroughly
educated Physician, honorable and gentlemanly in his  conduct and de-
portment, and having on a number  of occasions witnessed the appli-
cation  of his  Cancer Remedy, and  closely observed  its  operation
throughout the treatment, and also having  satisfied  ourselves of its
thoroughly curing  the disease, we have  the utmost confidence  in it
as being superior to any other mode of treating these painful affections.
  The  comparative absence of pain while under the  influence of the
Remedy, together  with the quickness of its  operation, greatly favors
its use, as in its effects there is no great shock to the nervous system,
which in many instances might be a fatal objection, especially to those
who arc in a debilitated condition.  In view of its many merits over
other modes of treatment, we would unhesitatingly recommend Dr. B.'a
Remedy  to all those  who  are afflicted with  Cancers, Tumors, Wens,
Moles, Birth Marks, Lupus,  &c.

county.  New Jersey :—

  Dr. G. T. Blake—Dear Sir ;~I have thought it  perhaps might be
my duty to add my testimony to that of others, with regard to,—shall I
say your wondrous cure of that something in the human system called
Cancer.  I have not seen the  operation performed, but have seen two
persons that have been operated upon.   The one a  ladv, upon whom
you operated about one year since.  The Cancer in her"breast, as she
told me, was the size of a hen's egg.  She said it was  taken out with
little or no pain, and it healed up in a few weeks, and  now to appear-
ance is entirely sound and well.
  The other, a gentleman, whom I saw immediately after the operation,
and have often seen since.  A  person, and that one who has often been
applied to for cures in such cases, the language of that person was,__
"I  saw the patient under the operation, and I asked him if it was pain-
ful, he said  that it felt as he had often felt the sun upon his bare arm.
and no more painful, and in half an hour," was  the  remark, ': that he
sat before me, it had eaten the caiver out.  And  now if hereafter I am
applied to in such cases, I must sc* d them to Dr. Blake, for I cannot d-j
it without causing much pain."  I am led,dear Sir, to believe it is »
complete remedy, and I wish you great success in its  application.
