ATHENS, Ga, November 6, 1881
am averse on general principles to say
ing anything commendatory of pro-
prietary articles, but there are few on
the market that force those of the pro-
fessiOn who come in contact with the
diseased and suffering to acknow ledge
their superiority. Among those find
Swift's Specific to rank high. One
poor unfortunate requests me to tell
you that he had long been . sufferer
with terrible blood faint, and securing
little If any relief from other treatment,
finally resort d tn Switt's Specific. He
claims ROW that it has afforded him re-
lief, that he feels that his blood is pure
again, and wishes me to express his
deep obligations, with which cheer
fully comply. Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH JACOBS, Druggist.

OF the birds on their GRANNY breasts made q
