Mr.. f. {. Halves, Jr., lives at Clarks-
vile, Ga. and teaches a village school.
Learning that he had been a victim to
Scrofula, and had been cured Of it,
sought him out and induced him to give
me a history of the case for publication.
After some hesitation, Mr.. Halves said
that while he was averse to going into
print vet he regarded it as his duty to
suffering humanity to give the particu-
lars 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 being afflicted
with it-some slightly; but mine was of
the worst type. and was regarded by all
medical men as incurable. l 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 gradu-
ally but surely eating my life away. My
scalp was so sore that there have been
months that | could not touch it with
comb. NV face was so covered with sores
that / had to shun contact with my fell
lOw-man, and felt a delicacy in going to a
general table Of even a country hotel.
For years | have been in constant pain,
and lost flesh until / was physical
wreck.
HIS FATHER 4 PHYSICIAN.
MY father being a practicing physi-
clan. and having read medicine myself.
l was of course prejudiced against all pro-
prietarv remedies; but having had Swift's
Specific recommended to me by many per-
sons, and learning that fair-minded doc
tors were now prescribing it for blood
and skin diseases, ! determined to give it
a fair trial. For the first few days the
remedy made the symptoms seemingly
worse, but l knew il was forcing the poi
son out, and / felt better. In three weeks
the sores all began to heal; my hair CON-
gaining flesh: my nervous system
greatly improved; my sluggish blood
Quickened its course and | felt
that | was a new man. Since then / have
continued to improve rapidly in every re-
spect. The scars have left my face: the
aching of nv bones and Joints are a thing
of the past. and there is not trace of the
disease left; and from being skeptic |
am now the warmest advocate Of Swift's
Specific. / do not believe there is a man,
woman or child in the world, no matter
what their condition. or how free from
disease. that will not be benefited by TAX
ing Swift's Specific. 1t is without doubt
the best remedy for all skin and blood dis
eases: as a health tonic it is incOmparably
the best: as a nerve food it is superior TO
everything.
Il do not even know any one of the
Swift Specific Company, but l would be
recreant to my duty to my fellOw-men if
l did not give to the world my experience
and rescue from suffering and death. l
will take pleasure in answering any in
auiries from other sufferers. l can say also
that Swift's Specific is certain cure for
Camp Itch, as one young man here was
cured sound and well by one bottle. l
refer with confidence to any man of re-
spectability around GAINESVILLE. as all
were familiar with my hopeless condition
and with my miraculous cure by the use
Of Swift's Specific"
In mingling with the citizens, / found
that they Endorsed everything which Mr..
Halves has said. Surely this case should
attract attention all over the world.
