A representative of the Constitution
spent a portion of last week in Macon,
and was accidentally thrown with MT
j. A. May, an employees Of Schoheid +
extensive iron works, who startled your
reporter by remarking to him !
feel kindly towards everything AMI
every body that comes from Atlanta,
because
lowe LIFE
to firm in your city, and will gladly
give you history Of my case:
at was discovered" he said. "when
I was three years old, that had inner
tied from some of my ancestors Scrof-
MA Blood Poison of the worst type. AS
grew older the disease continued to
grow worse. had tried in turn score
of the best and most noted physicians,
and had taken medicine until 1t seemed
farce. Before | was twenty | had
swallowed, it seems to me, two or three
drug stores, and was living proof that
there wa, no virtue in medicine for my
disease. The disease and medicine
combine had taxed my system until |
was mere physical wreck. l was
sallow, had no appetite, had lost flesh
until was nothing but sores, skin and
bones. The sluggish blood which flow
ed slowly through my veins was full OF
poison, and was in such fearful condi'
ton that even pin scratch would re-
suit in an liberated, running sore that
would take weeks to heal. ] had taken
mercury until my joints were stiff, anu
suffered 80 from
MERCURIAL RHEUMATISM
that was laid up every winter; and
the mercury had soaked into the mar
row of NV bones until was an infalli-
bic barometer, and could foretell to a
certainty the approach Of rain by the
aching in my joints. Hearing OF swift's
Specific, I determined to try it, but
without any faith.
A SPEEDY AND EFFECTIVE CURE.
l commenced improving with the
first bottle, and in a short time the stlft.
ness had left my joints and the sores had
disappeared from my body. l passed
through last winter without faint OF
rheumatism, and have had no appear
ance ofthe terrible disease since. My
general health improved as Switt's Spe-
citic drove out he monster, which was
eating my life away, and | gained IN
flesh until weigh 100 pounds, which
is nearly double what it was when
began the use of the Specific. For the
first time in years enjoy my food. Al
an evidence that Swift's Specific elm
mated all the poison from my system, ]
cut off one of my fingers a few months
ago in machine, and in less than two
weeks it had healed up nicely; and a
few days ago | mashed my thumb with
hammer, and you can see it Is healing
up fast. If eth, of these accidents
had happened year ago, the chances
are that / would have lost my hand
In summing up, | will say that my ex'
perience proves beyond the shadow of
doubt that Swift's Specific will cure the
worst cases of Blood Poison, even wheI
| it descends as an inheritance that 1t
will cure Mercurial rheumatism, and
drive the mercury out of the bones
Joints and system and that 1t VII
build up the general health, ana is tn
b. st medicine in the world. MY cast
alone is enough to convince anybody
but have known it used in numbe
of cases, and it has never failed in
single instance. -.
MIR. May will take pleasure in an
swering any letters in regard to his case
