Poisoned.

Thousands of persons are poisoned in
America by the continued use of Mercury,
Iodide of Potassium and other minerals, for
various diseases. The mercury works its
wav into the tissues, producing rheumatism
and decay of the bones. The Iodide of Po-
tassium eats away the coating of the stomach,
and dries up the gastric juices which digest
the food. and the patient fingers along in
agony or is glad to die to get away from mis-
cry. Swift's Specific is a complete antidote
to all this poison. 1t eliminates Mercury
