IEcariiStatement. . I have been troubled with eczema of my face for tlio past three years and a half. My entire face was covered with it , and it rendered mosocon.spieudu.sthat it was unpleasant to appear in public. . 1 consulted the ablest physicians in the city , among others a celebrated specialist in diseases of the skin , who treated mo during tlio first winter without the slight est perceptible benolit. I then tried the sulphur treatment and various adver tised medicines with little or no effect. I visited several springs , including the Hot Springs of Arkansas , during the succeed ing two years. At the latter point I placed myself under treatment of one of the lending physicians. Although my general health was greatly improved , the bpnngs failed to accomplish the object of- my visit. The eczema , still clung jo mo , and was a great source of Inconvciilonea and discomfort. After returning east , fully convinced that I wouldjiudnorcm- ftdy , an acquaintance , who said that she herself had been raised trom bed and cured of scrofula by S. S.

I have taken it lor two or three months , mid the result is that the disease is practically cured , there being but slight traces of it left. Swift's Spceille is certainly a wonderful remedy , and I feel very grateful that I ever found it. 1 boliuvo it will benolll others , and am ready to answer personally any in quiries in reference to its efl'oct upon mo.

Last , winter tlio doctor told us Ft was can cer and could not bo cured. Five different physicians in private practice have said the same thing. Wo took her to the woman's hospital of this city , aud there they repeated the sumo Mory. Dr. Km- mett told us it was cancer , and nlio must die. Wo then took" her to the Now York College hospital , and they told us the same thing there , Unit she had rancor and could live bnt a very short Urns. She was then carried to my house , vrhqru she awaited patiently the cowing o ! death as her only relief. Wo saw llto advertise ment of the Swift Specific Co. , and us a "drowning man grasps at a straw , " wo wnnt to tlio ollicfi of the company and the physician told me to try it , that it could do her no possible harm and that It would euro her. She had lest a great deal of flesh and strength , and It scorn-id folly to give her medicine after what wo hail been told. However , wii commenced the S. S.

We do not think there is nnoticr | preparation which can bring forward such in dorsements. Wo do not claim 'olir remedy to be a specilic for all duicaEes.bnt wedoknow it to be a remedy for diseases of thu blood.

To all these wo say : If broken down in health , or your malady can bo traced to a bad condition of your blood , take our SPECIFIC and you will not bo disappointed. Our preparation removes the aceuminuhiti'd poison of ages from the blood , and wo boldly assort that ninety per cent of all di&eas-es spring from pome corrupting influence of this , "the fountain ot all life , " and wo further assert that the proper vegetable remedies arc cures for blood diseases. Wo would again call your attention to the fact that in ! almost every instance whore SWIFT'S SPECIFIC wns resorted to , it was nfUr all remedies of the scientist had failed.

I have had salt rheum for a long time , and have suffered much from the effects of the mercury which I have taken for its relief. 1 have traveled all over the United States and Europe , and have never found anything to benefit mo as S.

In 1873 I was poisoned by contact with poison oak. My face nnd neck swelled terribly , and tlio itching and burning sensation was almost unbearable I tried both the homeopathic and the allopathic treatment , but both failed of a cure. I went under treatment of one of the most distinguished phvsicians of Now York City , then to Dr. Aguew , of Philadelphia. : uid these failed to effect a cure. I tried Hot Springs , Ark. , and Blount Springs , Ala. , where I found temporary relief only. For two years I suffered on , and alternated between comparative relief and sufferings that seemed beyond my power to bear. It seemed no matter what I did , as if it were impossible to rid my- helf of the poison. In 1884 , in October , ivl.en in desperation , but having very littjo faith in it , I commenced using Swift's Specific. Attcr I had taken a number 01 bottles I felt that my diges tion and general health was improved , but so far as I could tell the poison was still in my system. After I h.id finished the second dozen bottles I began to see a change for the better. Ncarlv every sign of my dread affliction had disappeared , my skin was clear and in its normal con dition , and again I believed that I was forever free from this terrible allliction. I have now completed my forty-eighth bottle , and feel free again , with no sign of any eruption but a few pimples , which I believe to bo the last faint signs of the result of my terrible blood poisoning. I cannot say too much in praise of tlio S. S. S. J. E. SIIEHSIAN , Mobile , Ala. Of the mineral Poisons. Potash Victim. Cured by S. S. S. A Rualncis Mail's Opinion. Two years ago I took S , S.

A Little CSIrl's Aflllellnii. Miss Jcsslo Wagner is the daughter of Mr. D. R. Wagner , of the firm of Messrs. U. R. Wagner & Co. , merchants in Water Valley , ftfiss. . Ho writes from his homo under date of Oct. 10 , 1885 , and says : "Our little girl. Jessie , was taken with scrofula about six years ago. She was then only 0 years old. Wo tried all the best physicians in our town , ns well ns these atHotSprings and Eureka Springs , Arkansas ; in Philadelphia and Now York City , besides the virtues of numerous other springs which wo visited , and did for her all that affection and money could do for about four years , and with all this wo barely managed to keep her alive. She was the most afilictcd child I over saw. She had abscesses on all of hoi- joints and on her neck , nnd small pieces of bone worked from them for moro than two years , and her elbow and hip joints stiffened. After trying , as wo thought , almost everything , and appar ently without any permanent cllect , in our despair concluded to try Swift's Specilic. Strange to say before she had finished the first bottle wo saw u quango for the better. Her appetite began to improve and her eyes to brighten. Soon she ceased to complain of the distressing pains which had made her life miserable for the previous years. In ten months after she began to take S. S. S. all the ab- cesses had licalcd up , and she now had grown much taller and improved in weight 20 percent. Now , with the ex ception of a stiff elbow nnd hip , she is as well as any one. No one who know her condition thought she would over got over it. Wo attribute her recov ery to Swift's Specific entirely , 1 have seen it tried with "several others horc , aud always with good results. " A Wondrous Change. 1 have been nfllicled with scrofula from my infancy , and in consequence have always been a frail and delicate creature. 1 might truthfully say that 1 was laised cliicfiv on mercury and potash. These remedies for the time being would dry up the fearful ulcers with which I suffered , but they would return with greater vie lence. I was the merest shadow as to form and person. My digestion was all deranged , and my existence was most wretched. At last a great tumor came 0,11 , my neck below the left ear. It in creased in s'r/.o until mv head was forced to the right shoulder , " In March , 1881 , I was induced to try Swift's Specific. My system responded to the medicine promptly , and 1 began to improve from almost the firstbottle. The fearful tumor lias all disappeared.
