PINKEYE
SWIFTS SPECIFIC
The Great Vegetable Blood Purifier
This medicine is nature’ own remedy .prepared from the roots of the forest of Georgia, and nothing
In Its composition comes from the apothecary or chemist's shop. We offer this, the only vegetable, re
liable and safe remedy to suffering humanity,is a boon more precious to them than gold, because It wll 1
eliminate poison from the system and give tone to the vital powers, Imparting vigor and energy to the
whole men. •
Wefeel that we would bewanUnglnthedutyweowotosuffbrlng humanity If we did not-sound a
note of warning In regard to the use of mercury and other poisonous minerals in the treatment of blood
and akin diseases. If the reader could see the horrible suffering, the awfnl wreck of human health and
happiness, shown by onr correspondence with those who have been dosed with these mineral poisons,
be would shadder with horror. Arsenic, Mercury and Iodide of Potassium are some of the remedies
moat ordinarily used for these diseases, and they are almost all poisons. They might dry up your dis
ease for a few days, and with It you will have mercurial rheumatism, which may bring you years o
torture. The mercury seema to sink Into the bones, and the potash dnvdh the poison Into the system
only to llrk there and attack the tender organs of the body, as the lungs, the throat, the nasal organ s
and the stomach. Hundreds of people have been made dear, and a great many blind by the use of
mercury and potash. Beware of mercury and potash mixtures gotten up In Imitation of our specific. A
few grains of sugar of lead dropped Into a glass of these Imitations will cause the poisonous drugs to fal
to the bottom, and show the danger of using them. Swift's Specific Is entirely vegetable, and Is the
best tonic for delicate ladles and children and old people In the world.
Uie an<I Ilealih lo Me.
Some seven or eight years ago my right thigh
was covered by a skin eruption, causing Intense
itching. In a short time It extended down the
entire leg, which became Inflamed and finally
broke out In small sores between the knee and
ankle. Swelling of the limb ensued and I could
not walk or put my foot'to the ground. The pain
ran me almost distracted. I tested the medical
profession thoroughly .having tried all the systems.
Some of them brought me temporary relief. I paid
out hundreds of dollars but found no permanent
benefit. The whole poison seemed to concentrate
in an ulcer near my ankle, some three Inches In
length, and the remedies used being largely min
eral, did not seem to reach the source of the dis
ease at all. For three years I was unable to do
anything. The ulcer bad already eaten down to
the bone. Two of the physicians recommended
amputation of the limb aa the only means of pre
serving life. I was almost In despair when a friend
suggested to me to try Swift’s t'peclflc. I hesitated,
but finally secured six bottles. The effect of the
first bottle was to stop the eating process; and the
six bottles made a cure of a disease that had baffled
the best medical skill in the country. My case Is
well known in Gainesville, the desperate character
of the disease as well aa tho wonderful cure effec
ted. There are no signs of the return of the dis
ease. I have Just taken two more bottles to make
the matter doubly sure and keep my blood In good
condition for the spring. Others are as much as
tonished as I am. I am In better health to-day
than I was before I was taken with this disease. I
weigh forty pounds more than I ever weighed be
fore In my life. Bwlft’s Specific has proven life and
health both to me; and I never can be grateful
enough for the benefits which I have received from
Us use. M. D. WILSON.

YIELDS TO_TREATMENT.
Testimony of Messrs. Redd &
Cox, tlie Well-Known Horse
men of Atlanta.
About the first day of April, 1886, four or five
horses In ourstable were taken with that dreaded
disease, Pinkeye. Wcdld everything that we could
to relieve them, using all the remedies laid down
In the horse books, but without any appreciable
benefit. The sufferings of the poor animals were
terrible, as they wasted away under this disease.
At last one of the best of them died. Having read,
a statement from Col. James L, Fleming, of Au
gusta, about the cure uf a valuable horse of Pink
eye with swift's Specific, we determined to give It
a trial, and secured a supply. We followed Ool.
Fleming’s directions, and gave each animal four
ounces of S. S. s. with equal quantity of water
three times a day. Some of the cases were more
obstinate than others, but all yielded In time to
the Influence of the medicine. The first symptoms
of Improvement were a disposition to move about
and a gradual Increase of appetite. Wearebappy
to say that Hwltfi Specific has made a perfect cure
of the remaining four horses, and they are In
splendid condition to-day. From our experience,
we be.levs Swift's Specific Is one of tbe best tonics
for the animal aa well aa for the human race. It
Invigorates the system and Improves tbe appetite
of the horse as well as of the man, and will no
doubt make the horse shed off more readily bis
wlntercoatof hair. We most cordially recom
mend It. Bum A Cox,

Kcliel irom Catarrh.
Prof, W. P. Johnson, Principal of the Public
Schools In Benton, Arkansas, nnder date of March
17, writes:
This certifies that I have been asnfferer from
Catarrh for nearly 18 years, being a portion of the
time Incapacitated from attending to my business.
Tried a number of most eminent physicians North
and South; spent over 1506. I was partially deaf,a
quantity of bones resembling fish scales came out
of my nose and head, and I was at one time reduced
to 70 pounds. Ten bottles of 8. 8. 8. cured me sound
and well, and I am so to-day. It Is the best blood
purifier I have ever used. W. P. Johnson.
Two Friends Meet.
Hello! old fellow; whither bound? You move
very slowly on those crutches.’’
■'I am hunting relief from disease, but It appears
that the more medicine I take the worse I feel,"re
plied tbe old'man In a squeaking voice.
“The trouble 1s. my friend, you have got In at
the wrong door. Those mercury and potash mix
tures yon are taking are killing you outright.”
“Yes; hut they are cheap. I get thelrblg bottle
for a dollar,” said tbe man on crutches.
“And t.-'sald tbe man on the right,“pay (1.75 for
the genuine Swift’s Specific, which eliminates all
the poison from my system, and which has made a
now man of me. Come and try It, old fellow; I am
sure It will cure yon. It Is purely vegetable and Is
tbe only genuine blood purifier on tbe market to
day.
A Fright!al Case ol a Colored Map.
I contracted a fearful case of blood poison 1u 1881.
I was treated by several of the best physlclups In
Atlauta. They used the old remedies of Mercury
and Potash,which brought on rheumatism and Im
paired my digestive powers. Every joint iu m»
was.swollen and full of pain. I was In a liorrlnle
condition. When 1 had been given up to die my
physiciansi who had seen the workings of tbe med-
icine In other cases, thought It would be a splen

Mid I could not live two weeka under the ordinary
treatment. He commenced to give me the medi

tinued for several months. I took nothing else,
and commenced to Improve from the first. Occa
sionally I would have a Backset from Imprudence,
Soon the rheumatism left me, my appetite became
allrlgnt.and the ulcers, which the doctors said
were the most frightful he had ever seen, began to
heal, and by the first of October, 18J4.1 was a well
man again. I nm stronger now than 1 ever waa
before, and weigh more. I havo not failed to re
