Abstract: Dear Sir: — —Clark, æt. about 27 years, came to my office June 28, 1888, accompanied by his wife. After prescribing for Mrs. C., the husband called my attention to a small tumor located on the upper lip near the line of the nose, about the size of a two-cent piece, which he stated had made its appearance a few nights previous. From its sudden development, its rapid growth, its size and color, it was evident to my mind that it was nothing more than a small blind boil, and I therefore prescribed for him accordingly. In the course of three weeks he again made his appearance, with his upper lip disfigured by several scars, marking the location where the boil had been. He stated that, a short time after leaving my office, a physician led him to believe that the small growth was a cancer, and required immediate removal.
