AN EXPERIENCE.
Chattanooga, Tenn., July 27, ’88
The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga:
Gentlemen.—In 1884 a friend of
mine contracted a terrible case of
blood poison, and at once sought the
advise of the best physicians. After
a four months' trial, with a feeling of
greatest despondency, he left Chatta
nooga for Hot Springs, where he re¬
mained three months. I'he treat
ment there did not seem to do him
any good, ar.d with a crushed spirit
and with death in its worst form star
ing him in the face, he came home.
He saw an advertisement of your
medicine. As his freind I supplied
him with the first few bottles. I was
astonished at the* result. After the
third bottle the sores all disappeared,
and his recovery was rapid. In
three months he was hard at work,
and there has been no return of the
disease. I withhold his name from
the public, but will send it in con¬
fidence to any who write for it. I
give this certificate cheerfully.

AN AGED LADY DEAD.
About sunrise last Saturday mom
the . . . of , Mrs. .
ing spirit
Clements gently took its fi ght to
happier world. Mrs. Clements
the wile ot the late Bishop
and had survived her husband
three years. She was
years of age. Since the death of her
husb.md Mrs. Clements has not been
altogether in her right mind and
seemed to be looking for the
of her hust and often saying that
would be home soon. On
matters, her Christian experience,
the texts of the Bible particularly
comforting to aged pilgrims, she
remarkably clear and accurate.
While memory was defective on all
other topics it never failed her re
specting the holy Scriptures. Rev.
S. D. Clements, her son who was
with his mother in her last hours,says
her death was without a pain or
struggle. Indeed so quietly did
breathe out her life that it was diffi¬
cult to percieve when spirit and
parted.
For over.sixt» years Mrs. (dements
has been a consistent member of the
Methodist church. Her daily walk
gave unmistakable evidence of
sacred flame burning within and that
sanctfied her heart and conversation.
She lived to see her oldest daughter
the wife of an eminent Methodist
minister the Rev. Charles R. Jewett.
Another son Rev. S. I). Clements, is
a devoied heiald of the cross. Her
other sons, and daughters, foilwing
the example of their good mother are
members of the church.
Mrs Clements was one of
oldest residents, having resided in
the county nearly sixty years. She
was buried last Sabbath at the old
homestead by the side of her beloved
husband. Her memory will ever be
precious in the hearts of all who
knew her. — Merriwether Vindicator.
