Typhoid Fever.

| am sixty-seven years Old, aud
have lived in this (Hall) county all
my life. Up to twenty eight years
ago was regarded as the strongest
man in the neighborhood-the most
robust in health. In November.
1856, | had a long and serious spell of
typhoid fever. 1t left. me emaciated
and cripple in my left leg. A;
times that limb was swollen an en0r.
nous size, being twice as large as its
natural condition, and inhamed and
angry in appearance. From my knee
down small sores came, and at the
ankle large ulcer came, which dis
charged poisonous matter. My whole
system became infected. The doctors
would patch me up for awhile, hut
the ulcer would never heal. The
mercury and potash with which they
dosed me brought on rheumatism aud
dyspepsia. | was an object of pity to
all my friends. Some thought that
the only hope to save my life was am.
putation. | continued to grow worse
and for three years | have not worn
shoe. Hope had almost left me.
Swift's Specific was suggested, and l
commenced its use at once. From
the very first | began to feel better.
| have taken thirty-six bottles. and
the shadows which have darkened my
life for twenty-eight years have all
been dissipated. The effect of the
medicine has been wonderful indeed.
To-day | am able to attend to all my
farming interests, and walk from one
to five miles per day. | am satisfied
that the disease is entirely broken up,
and henceforth | am to be free from
those terrible approximations and suf,
ferings which formerly made my life
miserable. Swift's specific has done
more fer me in one year than all the
drug store medicine prescribed by
physicians did in twenty-eight years,
and | most cheerfully bear this testi-
mony of its merits.

SAM JONES'

A correspondent of the Atchison
Champion went to Plattsburg. Missouri,
to camp meeting for the purpose of
listening to the great southern preacher,
Sam Jones Mr.. Jones is not the type
Of preacher that would take very well
In snobbish circles The cultured
would elevate their noses, at his crude-
ness and call him boor. But Sam
Jones is at present Just a little above
culture, riding on the crested waves of
1t, so to speak, and his phosph orescent
scintinatiOns of truth, light up and
radiate all the culture of christendom
to d ay. He takes off his coat, and at
tacks an evil, and the fur flies. His
congregations forget culture in the heat
OF his impassioned language, and the
voley of facts which he hurls right and
left. When o man is terribly in earnest
he forgets all about culture, all about
himself, and a flow Of natural eloquence
is the inevitable result. And this is the
eloquence that catches men. 1t is not
the rythmic twaddle of a school girls
essay, the smooth adverbial roundings
Of each sentence that catches men, it is
the earnest spontaneous outburst Of
pent up genius that sets the world on
fire. The Champion correspondent
says: Sam Jones introduced. of course
his real devil A very actual person
who gives it to the Christian ''hot and
heavy. "But yo," said the preacher
addressing the degenerate believer, 20
old scamp, you are so sleepy that the
devil could saw yo' old neck off with
dull case knife.'' There was 81 general
line Of warning all along here. 81 Stag
nation IS the last station before you get
to damnation." Don't get varioloid
religion 1t is not catching, What
you want is a good case of continent
smallpox religion. Cornelius had it
all over from his scalp to his heels. Get
that and everybody within three hun
dred yards will catch it." When the
preacher had gone on for thirty-fve
minutes he looked at his watch and an
nounced the fact and requested any
VINO might feel tired to withdraw. cir
any man has got his little cup full, he
can rack out If he wants to, and 90 off
somewhere and rest himself - To rack
ont we may explain, is in Georgia
parIance and also in Webster's diction-
airy, ''tO move or travel with quick
ambIe, as a horse" Evidently nobody
had his "cup full'' at least nobody
-'racked'' and the sermon proceeded.
