Pure Blood and Strong Nerves
At 19 yeais of age, I was afflicted
with fearful pains in my head, eyes,
shoulders and right side, and began
to spit blood. 1 tried quite a num
ber of physicions, whose medicines
only brought temporary relief. They
called it cold, and after exhausting
their treatment, said I was sure {q
die. Being an orphan, and in poor
hea.th all my life, I thought death
would be a relief. Thus, for twelve
years I suffered. My only solace was
in morphine. For ;*vo yeais 1 never
s’ept day or night without morphir*
so intense was my suffering. During
the spring of 1881 I was induced td
try Swift's Specific. It acted like a i
charm, It was a God-send to me.
After using it that season, I was com 4
pletely restored It gave me pure
blood, strong nerves, sound mind and
good health. I am now thirty-five
years of age and am in perfect health
as an y lady in Atlanta. Ten thous¬
and tongues could not express my
gratitude for finding this wonderful!
medicine. I commend it to suffering
humanity. Adaline Collins.

Dry Tetter Cured.
I have been afflicted with a disease
termed Dry Fetter, and have applied
various remedies, but to no perma
nent good. I saw an advertisement
announcing that Swift's Specific had
cured Mr James Dunning, of Louis¬
ville, Ky., of this terrible disease, I
procured thirteen bottles at once and
began its use. At the eml of seven
months tnene was not the least sign
of tetter on my person, nor ha* there
been a single symptom of its return
up to date. Therefore, I cheerfully
recommend Swift’s Specific to all
who are afflicted with this painful
dtsease. I am very thankful that I
ever heard of Swift’s Specific. It has
brought health and happiness to my
home. S. W. Peak, 1
