    person of my wife; which operation was very skillfully and carefully performed by the Rev. Mr. Lord, of Port- land. Upon the day before, after an examination of the tumor, and a declaration of what he thought its nature, color, and condition, he made an application of what he calls his Caustic Paste, which he uses antecedent to his knife, for destroying the censation. We found the tumor exactly as described by Mr. Lord, its removal be- ing accomplished as easily, as we think possible. I would most cheerfully, and heartily recommend all per- sons afflicted with Cancers, tumors, wens, &c. Sec, to avail themselves, if possible, of the counsel and assis- tance of Mr. L., in obtaining a cure. Respectfully, $-c. THEODORE LITTLEFIELD. Portland, June 28, 1S49. The undersigned takes pleasure in certifying to the skill and ability with which Rev. John Lord, removed from his lip (mostly on the inner surface) a fibrous tumor, which had increased to such a size before removal, as to much disfigure his face, and render the necessary motions and functions of the mouth difficult and disagreeable. The operation was performed in the most satisfactory manner to me, with as little pain ns possible, and the wound has rapidly and kindly healed. I can but express my hearty gratitude to Mr. L, for his aid in this nice matter, and feel a perfect confidence in recommending him to all who may be troubled with tumors of any of the varieties, as a man fully competent by theory and practice, to relieve them from these disa- greeable comforters.
