AN AGED BAPTIST MINISTER.
Two More Important Cases.


Your agent being in Columbus, Ga, a few
days ago, and meeting the venerable brother
j. II. Campbell, we asked him for the news.
His reply was Il have two more important
cures effected by f5wift's Specific to reDOrt. y
This venerable man is known far and wide for
his unremitting labOrS of love in the behalf of
the poor OF Columbus II VIII be remember
ed that the Swift Specific Co. has donated
quite an amount Of THEN famous medicine to
be distributed by MIR. Campbell among the
poor OF the city; hence his remark. He said:
Il have just seen a lady who has been great

said she had been treated by several physi-
clans during the past three or four years with
the old remedies, but without giving any re-
lief. | suggested Swifts Specific and She TOOK
TOUR bOttteS ana IS now apparently perfectly
well her hand IS smooth, and not Il single sign
of the disease is left. 1t is marvellous how this
medicine TcnOvates the system"
What about the other case :"
We'll, that was q lady also She had been
badly affected with eczema for four years
Her lace, hands arms, as well as her body.
were covered with sores and scahs. 1t was
one of the worst cases of this terrible disease
that have ever seen. The suffering of this
poor creature was beyond expression. She
tried every remedy at hand, including InCrcu-
~ and iOdide of potash, but she only grew
worse. She was in this condition when [ first
saw the case. l soon had her taking Swift's
Specific, and she has now only taken two but
ties, but every mark of the disease has almost
entirely disappeared. Her general health has
greatly improved. 1T IS one OF the most re-
markable cures that has come under my no.
tice, and in ministry of sixty years / have
mingled with every class OF Society and oh
served closely the variety Of diseases which
affect humanity. Blood diseases are the most
numerous and the most difficult to remove.
70 overcome these diseases, it is my deliberate
judgment that Swift's Specific is the grandest
blood purifier ever discovered. Its effects are
wonderful and consider them almost mirac-
ulOus. There is no medicine comparable to it.

years the entire management of all the
prisoners of Colorado, state, county and
city, who may be sentenced for a longer
period than sixty days. They also have
the power to bring prisoners from all
the territories around us, thereby max.
ing this state a penal colony in reality,
and gives to it ina few years a class OF
citizens that makes us shudder to think
Of 1t also gives to this corporation the
privilege to establish branches all over
the state, at the coal mines, at the stone
quarries, or even at the state capital
building. This bill was introduced by
Senator Tedmon. 1t was up in commit.
