Mr. T. c. Hawcs, Jr, lives at Clarks-
vile, Ga, and teaches a village school
Learning that he had been a victim to
Scrofu!a, and had been cured of it. |
sought him out and induced him to give
me history of the case for publication.
After some hesitation, Mr.. Haves said
that he was averse to going in print, yet
he regarded it as his duty to suffering hui
manity to give the particulars of his case
that others might have the benefit Of his
treatment and cure.
HISTORY OF THE CASE.
He said: "Scrofula is hereditary in my
family, all of the members icing afflicted
with it-some slightly; but mine was of
the worst type, and was regarded by all
medical men as incurable | was treated
by many physicians, and went through
the whole catalogue of medicines; in fact
the only object had in life was to get
rid of this terrible disease, which was
gradually but surely eating my life away.
NV scalp was so sore that | could not
touch it with a comb. My face was so
covered with sores that | had TO shun
contact with my fellow man, and felt a
delicacy in going to a general table of
even country hotel. For years / have
been in constant pain, and lost flesh until
| was physical wreck.
HIS FATHER A PHYSICIAN.
My father being a practicing physician
and having read medicine myself. | was
of course preiudcied against all propriet-
airy remedies; but having had Swift 5
| Specific recommended to me by many
persons. and learning that fair minded
doctors were now prescribing it for blood
and skin diseases, | determined to give
il fair tlial For the first few days, the
remedy made the SYMPTOMS seemingly
worse. but | knew it was forcing the poi
son out, and | felt better In three weeks
| the sores all begun to heal; my hair
commenced togrOw out again commenced
gaining flesh; my nervous system greatly
improved; my sluggish blood quickened
| its course, and | felt that / was new
man Since then | have continued Il
improve rapidly in every respect. The
scars have left my face; the aching of my
bones and joints are thing of the past,
and there is not trace of the disease left
and from being skeptic, | am now the
warmest advocate of Swifts Specific.
do not believe there is man, woman OI
child in the world, no matter what their
condition, or how free from disease, that
will not be benefited by taking Swift's
| Specific. 1t is without donbt the best
remedy for all skin and blood diseases; as
u health tonic it is incomparatively the
best; as nerve food it is superior to
everything.
Il do not even know any one of tho
Swift Specific Company. but would be
recreant to my duty to my fellow men il
did not give to the world my experience
and rescue from suffering and death
will take pleasure in answering any in
quiries from other sufferers. I can also
say that SwIft's Specific is a certain cure
for Camp Itch, as one young man here
was cured sound ana well by one bottle
l refer with confidence to any man Of re
spectability around Clarksville,a as all were
familiar with my hopeless condition anC
with my miraculous cure by the use o
Swift's Specific
In mingling with the citizens, | fount
that they endorsed everything which Mr.
Hawes has said. Surely. this case should
attract attention all over the world.
