HISTORY OF THE CASE.
lie said: Scrofula is hereditary in my
family, all Of the members being afflicted
with Il, some slightly; but mine was OF the
worst type, and was regarded by all medi-
cal men rs incruable. j 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. Ny scahp
was 40 sore that there have been months
that could not touch IL with comb. My
face was so covered with sores that / had
to shun contact with my fellow-man, and
felt Il 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.
us FATHER A PHYSICIAN.
"My father being practicing physician,
and having read medicine myself. was OF
course preiudiced against all proprietary
remedies but having had Swift's Specific
recommended 10 me by many persons, and
learned that fair-minded doctors were now
prescribing it for blood and skln-diseases.
/ determined to give it a fair trial. For
the first few days the remedy made the
symptoms seemingly worse, but knew ii
was forcing the poison out, and | felt bet
ter. In three weeks the sores all begun TO
| heal; my hair commenced to grow out
again: / commenced gaining flesh; my
nervous system greatly improved; my slug
pish blood quickened its course, and ! felt
| that was "a new man. Since then ! have
continued to improve rapidly in every re-
spcct- 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 lett; and from being skcptic am
now the warmest advocate OF Swift's Spe-
cific. | do not believe there is man, wo-
man, or child in the world, no matter what
their condition or how free from disease,
that will not be benefited by taking Swifts
Specific. 1t is without doubt the best
remedy for all skim and blood-diseases as
a health tonic it is incomparably the best !;
as nerve food it is superior to everything.
~ do not even know any one of the
Swift Specific Company, but | would be
recreant to my duty TO my feI!ow-men il
did not give to the world my experience,
and rescue from suffering and death.
will take pleasure in answering any inqui-
rles from other sufferers. / 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. | re-
fer with confidence to any man OF respect
ability around GAINESVILLE. as all were IA
miliar 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.
