Especial Core pOndence Atlanta (Ga.) Constltu-
ton, July 10, 1888
A representative OF the Constitution
spent portion Of last week in Macon, and
was accidentally thrown with Mr.. j. a.
May. an employee Of Schofeld's extensive
iron-worlls, who startled your reporter by
relarkihg to him: g feel kindly towards
everything and everybody that comes from
Atlanta, because
OWE MY LIFE
TO a firm in your city, and will gladly give
you history OF my case.
"It was discovered" he said, "when
was three years old that | had inherited
from some OF my ancestors a scrOfulous
blOod-poison OF the worst type. As gre "
older the disease continued to grow worse.
| had tried in turn 4 score OF the best and
most noted physicians, and had taxed medi-
cine until it seemed a farce. Before | was
twenty / had swallowed, it seems to me,
two or three drugstOres, and was living
proof that there was no virtue in medicine
for my disease. The disease and medicine
combined had taxed my system until was

thing but sores. skin, and bones. The
sluggish blood which flowed slowly through
my veins was full OF poison, and was in
such fearful condition that even pin
scratch would result in an liberated, rum
ming sore that would take weeks to heal. !
had taken mercury until my joints were
still, and suffered so from
MERCURIAL RHEUMATISM
that was laid up every winter: and the
mercury had soaked into the marrow OF
my bones until | was an infallible barOme-
ter. and could fOrctcll TO certainty the APP
proach Of rain by the aching in my joints.
Hearing OF Swift's Specific, determined
to try it, but without any faith.
A SPEEDY AND EFFECTIVE CURE.
| commenced improving with the first
bottle, and in short time the stiffness had
left my joints and the sores had diSap-
peared from my body. | passed through
last winter without faint OF rheumatism,
and have had no appearance OF the terrible
disease since. My general health improved
as Swiit'S Specific drove out the monster
which was eating my life away, and |
gained in flesh until weigh $50 pounds,
which is nearly double what it was when

an evidence that Swift's Specific has elimi-
mated all the poison from my system, |
cut of one OF my fingers few months
ago in the machine, and in less than two
weeks it had healed up nicely; and few
days ago | mashed my thumb with ham.
mer. and you can see ii is healing up fast.
II either Of these accidents had happened a
year ago, the chances are that would have
lost my hand. In summing up, | will say
that my experience proves beyond the
shadow OF doubt that Swift's Specific will
cure the worst case OF blood poison, even
when it descends as an inheritance; that
it will cure mercurial rheumatism, and
drive the mercury out OF the bones, Joints
and system; and that it will build up the
general health. and is the best medicine in
the world. My case alone is enough to
convince anybody; but / have known it
used in number Of cases, and it has never
failed III a single instance
Mr.. May will take pleasure in answering
any letters in regard to his case.
