POISON IT

In the blood is apt to show itself in the
Spring, and nature should by all means be
assisted in throwing it off. Swift's Specific
does this effectively. It is purely vegeta.
BILE, non-poisonous remedy, which helps
nature to force all the poison or taint out
through the pores Of the skin.

friend recommended Swift's Specific. I
tried one bottle and my health began to
improve. I continued until had taken
six bottles and it has set me on my feet, as
sound and we'll as ever. l recommend it
to all similarly afflicted"
Letters from twenty-three of the leading
of March "a, 1854: "Wesell more of Swifts
Specific than any other one remedy, and
three to ten times as much as any other

for more than twenty years, and have seen

nothing could be done. She was coughing and
splitting inccssantly, and at times would discharge
from her lungs large quantity of pus or matter

case. This was about the time you began 10 ad-
vertise Brewers Lung Restorer, and as my son
expressed desire to give 1t 10 his wife, two or
three bottles were procured and with scarcely
vestige OF hope We commenced giving 1t to her In
small doses, gradually increasing the quantity un-
til the prescribed dose was reached She began to
improve after few doses and continued to do so
daily, until she was finally restored to life and
health, and is to-day perhaps in better health than
ever before. She Is subject to colds, but q few
swallows of Brewers Lung Restorer (Which she is
never without) relieves her Immediately. con-
