in the number bearing date August
IA, the editor, Col. VIM, L. Mat

ence to remarkable cure of rheuma-
lism by Swift's Specific:
eve know a gentleman in this
county who, six months ago, was
almost a hopeless cripple from an at
tack of rheumatism. He could
scarcely hobble across the room, used
crutches, and said himself that he
had little hope of ever recovering.
We saw in our town last week, walk
ing about as lively as any other man,
and in the finest health and spirits.
Upon our inquiry as to what had
worked such wonderful change in
his condition, he replied that Swift's
Specific had cured him. He said he
was on the eve ofstarting for the Hot
Springs in search of relief, but was
persuaded by one OF his neighbors to
try Swift's Specific, and after using
dozen and half bottles, he has
been transformed from miserable
cripple to a happy, healthy man.
He is one of our most worthy and
successful citizens, and is none other
