Tate Springs , Tenn. , July 4 , 1888.
The Swift Specific Co. , Atlanta , pa. :
During the spring of 1871 , while working
in the field at my home in Morgan county ,
Ga. , I pulled off my shoes to give my feet a
rest. Unfortunately , I walked into a clump
of poison oak , 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 everything was healed up.
About the same time 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 the dis
ease , only each time it became more dis
tressing , because I began to 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 gradual from the first , and no evidence
of the disease remains. I shall take pleas
ure in testifying as to its curative proper
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 Specific Co. , and presented
simply as a sample. It is a voluntary
statement , giving facts and results of the
case. Its accuracy and genuineness are
beyond question.
A valuable Treatise on Blood and Skin
Diseases mailed free. Address
THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO. ,
A number of fine farms in one of the rich
est agricultural counties of Pennsylvania have
recentlv been knocked down under the ham
mer. This would indicate that agriculture in
the Keystone state is on the decline. The f ru
gal Dutch farmers of Pennsylvania should
como out to Nebraska instanter.
IS CONSUMPTION CURABLE ?
Bead the following : Mr. C. H. Morris , New
ark , Ark. , says : "Was down with Abscess of
Lungs , and friends and physicians pronounced
me an Incurable Consumptive. Began taking
Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption ,
am now on my third bottle , and able to over
see the work on my farm. It is the Quest
medicine ever made. "
Jesse Middlewart , Decatur , Ohio , says :
"Had it not been for Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption I would have died of Lung
troubles. Was given up by doctors.Am now
"
in best of health. " Try it. Sample bottles
