The Swift Speci5c Co. , Atlanta , Ga. : Gentlemen I can cheerfully and truth fully say that S. S. S. is the greatest blood purifier on earth. In 1884 I contracted blood poison. Physicians treated me with no good results. I took a half dozen differ ent kinds of blood medicines , but , without receiving any permanent relief ! I was in duced to try 3. S. S. I began the first bottle with the gravest doubts of success. I had been so often deceived. But im provement came , and I continued its use until perfectly well. I have since married , and have a healthy family. No trace of the disease is seen. Swift's Specific did all this for me , and I am grateful. Yours truly , • J. S.

" "Girls aro very stuck up and dignified in " their manner and behavyour. They think more of dress than anything , and like to play with dowis and rags. They cry if they see a cow in a far distance , and are afraid of guns. They stay at home all the time and go to church every Sunday. They are al-ways sick. They are al-ways funny and making fun of the boys' hands and say how dirty. They can't play marbles. Ipity them , poor things. They make fun of boys and then turn around and love them. I don't believe they ever killed a cat or anything. They look out every nite and say , 'Oh , ain't the moon lovely I "There is one thing I have not told , and that is they al-ways have their lessons bettern boys. " THE HEV. GEO. H.
