That Iowa Decision.
The late decision in the Iowa railroad cast
enjoining the state board of commissions
Irom enforcing its schedule o < " excessively lo
rates , is a matter of congratulation to railwn
managers this side of the river. The slal
board of Nebraska has threatened to ador
the Iowa schedule in this state , and seeming !
but awaited Judge Brewer's decision in tli
Iowa cases belorc putting the threat into exi
etitiou One of the leading railway managei
in Omah i said while speaking on this subjec
recently : "This decision will , I hope , provet
> taie boards that railwa > companies have th
s.une right to a fair peiecntageon their inves
incuts as any other institution. It shoul
tench thein. too , that they cannot disregar
[ lie utter ince of United States courts. Thi
[ own matter was up before , and tne comnih
sioners were told in theorder restrainingthen
from adopting the low rates proposed tha
they should arrange tarilfs in such amaunc
that the roads could realize a fair living incom
in their outlay. The board , in contempt o
: he instructions given , practically adopted th
same rates over again , hence this last injunc
: ion. The road which I represent has a cast
sow pending before the Nebraska state boarc

y intend to pursue the same course as th
Iowa railroads , and throw the matter into thi
Jnited States court if the hoard persisted ii
gnoringourremonstrance. The board neve
ieard tlie case , but continued it , and then
s no probability that it ever will be heard nov
hat the Iowa cases are settled. "

Tate Springs , Tenn. , July 4 , 18S8.
I he Swift Specific Co. , Atlanta , Ga. :
During the spring of I&71 , while working
in the field at my home in Morgan county ,
Ga. , I pulled of. my shoes to "ive my feet a
rest. Unfortunately , I walkcu into a clump
of poison osk , and in a few days my feet
were in a terrible condition , and I could not
put on a shoe because of the soreness and
swelling. I was treated as poison oak cases
usually are , and .c-ylhirg was : healed up.
About the same li : c the following spring ,
1872 , my feet became sore again , as at first ,
and every succeeding spring for five years
brought back the same condition of tne dis
ease , only each time it became more dis
tressing , because 1 began lo think it was a
lifetime trouble. Finally , I was induced to
try Swift's Specific. I took six bottles , and
to-day am entirely well. My improvement
was gra iual fiom the f.rst , and no evidence
of the disease remains. I shall lake pleas
ure in testif'-ing as to its curathc piopcr-
ties. It is the greatest blood purifier in ex
istence. Yours truly , J. L. Morgan.
The foregoing certificate is taken at
random from thousands of letters in posses
sion of the Swift SpeL..c Co. , and presented
simply as a sample. It is a \ 'untary
statement , giving facts and results of the
case. Its accuracy and genuinrness are
