LOMBARD SECRET CANCER REMEDIES

Categories: Patent Medicines and Secret Forumla

Dr. J. L. Horr says in Boston Medical and Surgical Journal: "Having

without solicitation on my part, become possessed of the knowledge of the

'secret remedies' employed by the late Doctor Lombard, the 'famous cancer

doctor' of Maine, I feel it my privilege, as a member of a scientific

profession that has only for its object the advancement of knowledge and

the relief of suffering to make a simple statement of the remedies and

methods which were employed in the so-called 'treatment of cancer.' The

remedy employed, if the cancer was small, was the inspissated juice of

leaves of the phytolacca decandra (garget) which was applied in the form

of a plaster until sloughing took place. The after treatment was some

dressing like simple cerate. If the tumor had attained considerable size,

Dr. Lombard first used a paste composed of chloride of zinc and pulverized

sanguinaria until an eschar was produced and then the same plaster as

before was applied until the mass sloughed away. The knowledge of these

remedies was given to me by Dr. Lombard himself, while I was attending him

during his last illness and a few days before his death."
