have watched the use of tlie medicine
now known as Swift’s Syphilitic Specific
since the year 1827—over .Wyears—and have
never heard of a failure to cure when prop-"
erly taken. 1 commenced the use of it on
my el slaves, between 1X50 and 18.55, as also
d a number of niv neighbors, and in every
case that came within my kuowledjre it ef
fected a cure. In is:t,5 niv brother-in-law,
D'or^e Walker , tM/nght at (riction a ulacr, vot
warranted. After the purchase it was dis
covered that be bad bad Syphilu tor twelve
years. His bead was without a hair on it.
He treated him with this remedy, and in
I abort four weeks lie was sound and well,*and in a
j time had a» fine, a h«*a<i of hair as was
CV r owned In a negro. He owned thL slavr
many years, and l.e never had any return
of tlie disease, nor lost a day’s work. This
is only one among hundreds of instances of
remarkable cures made by this medicine.
in all my past lift* i have never known a
, remedy that would so fully accomplish what
it is recommended to do.
