The Cherokee Advance  27 Nov 1885  P 2 November 27, 1885
Out in Free N***** district in this county, there has lived for many years 
old Aunt Jane Lawless, wife of Uncle Berry Lawless.  During the past few 
years she has been a blessing to the community in which she has lived, by 
curing the many ills that the flesh is heir to,-so we learn from her 
respectable, honest and truthful white neighbors. Before the war Aunt Jane 
belonged to Mrs. Cobb--the mother of our tax receiver, Sam Cobb and has 
always lived an upright, pure and christian life, respected by all who knew 
her. 
A year or so ago Aunt Jane discovered in the wild herbs of the forests an 
antidote for almost every disease and ailment known to our people, and has 
been dispensing that knowledge to all applicants with great success.  She 
has performed many almost miraculous cures, for which she has never made a 
charge, always allowing the parties benefitted to pay what they desired.  
Consequently she has been quite meagerly paid for the valuable services 
rendered. 
Dr. A. W. Powell, who lived in this county in 18__ (sic-too blurry to read), 
certifies that he had a very sore leg and was compelled to use a crutch, and 
he says Aunt Jane cured him and he threw the crutch away.  He also 
recommends her to be a safe practitioner in all chronic sores and skin 
eruptions.
W. G DeLaney, Esq., certifies that after trying three regular doctors and 
all the patent medicines he thought would do any good in curing a child of a 
chronic case of nearly two years' standing, he put the case in Aunt Jane's 
hands and she made a final cure in about two months.
George Strickland certifies that he was treated about eight years by seven 
doctors and was getting worse all the time, and unable to work or sleep.  He 
put himself under the Indian treatment of Aunt Jane, and in three months 
afterward he was made almost a new man, and his kidney troubles were 
permanently relieved.  He also certifies that his wife, Mary Strickland, had 
a very bad case which the doctors had been treating a long while and failed 
to give her any relief.  Aunt Jane took the case and in five months cured 
her permanently.
George Ogle, who lives near town and is 67 years old, certifies that his leg 
was badly afflicted with erysipelas and after trying the best doctors he 
knew for a long while he went to Aunt Jane Lawless and by her direction used 
her Indian remedies and in a few months was permanently cured and made to 
feel like an entirely new man.
Aunt Jane says she can cure all rheumatic pains, provided the flesh is not 
sunk.  She claims to be master of all old sores, snake bites or any poison, 
rheumatism of 15 years' standing, colic of any kind, diarrhoea, scald head, 
and almost any disease.  She claims to have found the King of all herbs, and 
by combinihg (sic) skill, natural tact, and calling on the help of God in 
prayer, she can accomplish the cure of almost any disease or trouble.  She 
lives ten miles east of Canton.  Call on or address  Jane Lawless, 
Macedonia, Cherokee County, Ga., whenever you desire to test her powers.
