For the benefit of suffering humanity, i deem
II only my duty To give this unsolicited testi-
mony In favor of Swift's Specific. MY wife
has been afflicted with Eczema from infancy
We tried every known remedy, but to no
avail. She was also afflicted with periodical
nervous headache, sometimes followed by nm
intermittent fever so that her life became A
burden to her Finally, | determined TO try
Swttts Specific. She commenced seven weeks
ago. After taking the first large bottle the
disease seemed to Increase; the burning itch
ing and Inflammation became unbcarable
She, however, persevered In the use of the
medicine. After taking the second bottle the
Inflammation began 20 subsidc. After the
third bottle the inflammation disappeared and
sore spots dried up and turned white and
scaly, and finally she brushed them OIL In an
impalpable white powder resembling pure salt
She is now taking the sixth bottle; every nm
pehrancc OF the disclose IL gone, and her flesh
Is soft and white us II chid's. Her headaches
have disappeared, and she enjoys the only
good health she has known In al years No
wonder she deems every bottle of S, IS. S, Is
worth thousand times its weight In gold.
Any further information concerning her
case will be ohoertully given by herself at her
residence, l35 Mullett Street. or by me,

will give San Antonio line to Denver

independent and competing line through

both Fort Worth and San Antonio to
unite and cooperate in the building of
these roads, and secure TO both all the
benefits that either could expect from
the possession of independent lines pene-
trating the same territory"
