- Pound up a handful of sorrel leaves,
- Stew them with lard,
Apply the poultice to the cancer, taking care to protect the well flesh by means of a large piece of adhesive plaster with a round hole cut in the center just sufficiently large to expose the cancer.
This poultice should remain twenty-four hours.
Strong potash, applied in the same way, it is said, will destroy a cancer so that it can be pulled out as you would pull up a parsnip from the ground.
