have been afflicted a number of years with
cancer, and have tried all the remedies sug-
gested for this terrible disease, without any
benefit. Six bottles of Swift's Specific has
done me more good than all the medicine l
had taken. My strength has returned, and l
can walk farther and take more exercise than
l have been able to do for years. Its effects
have been wonderful, and the cancer has
greatly improved. W. SHIEsLING.

What the Shakers believe bout
Disease.

They nave learned from many years expe-
%rience, that nine-tenths of all the diseases of
mankind arise from imperfect digestion of
food; for this reason they have spent years of
labor in preparing the Shaker Extract of
Roots (Siegel's Syrup and it operates like a
1t is not what we eat that makes us strong,
but that which we digest. This is the doc
trine of the Mount Lebanon Shakers. People
who are weak and languid, tired and feeble Of
ten wonder. The reason is that the food eaten
does not give strength because it is not digest
ed. The Shaker Extract of Roots (Siegel's
Syrup will restore the digestion to a healthy
condition and drive away the headache, the
pains in the sid and back, and distress after
eating and make the sleep afford rest.

salt R,.eum or Eczema.

In April, 1884. there appeared on my feet
and legs what the doctors called Salt Rheum,
which produced intense suffering. I tried a
great many remedies, and had the attention of
one of our best physicians, but received no
permanent relief. The disease continued to
grow worse and my limbs were greatly in
famed. was finally induced to try Swift's
Specific, and after taking four bottles relief
came. | continued, however, until / had TAX
en- seven bottles, and am now sound and well,
and not a sign of the disease left. My gener-
al health has greatly improved, and L most
cheerfully recommend s. S. s.. as being the
best blood purifier that I have ever known.
