Cancer Conquered.

For seven years past | have been
suffering with cancer on my face.
At first it gave me but little trouble,
and | paid hut very little attention to
it. After time it began to increase
in size, and also to pain me The
simple remedies were applied to ALLEYS
late the pain, hut it was not conscious
of its true nature, and would soon
pass away under the treatment. In
this | was mistaken, as the PLACE con-
tinued to grow, extending into my
nose, from which came a yellowish
discharge very offensive in character.
1t was also inhamed, and annoyed me
great deal. About eight mouths
ago | was in Atlanta, at the house of
a friend, Mrs. &. d. H., who oh
served the condition of my face, and
so strongly recommended tie use of
Swift's Specific that | determined to
make an effort to procure it. In this
l was successful, and began its use.
The influence of the medicine at first
was to somewhat aggravate the sore !;
out soon the inflammation was al
layed, and | began to improve fer
the first few bottles, My general
health has greatly improved. i am
stronger, and am able to do any kind
of work. The cancer on my face he.
gan to decrease and the ulcer to heal,
until there is not vestige of it left
only a little scar marks the place
where it had been. l am devoutly
grateful for this wonderful relief from
what everybody though would be
certain death: l am ready to answer
all questions relative to this cure.

A FEARFUL EXPERIENCE.
Narrow Escape from Shocking Death
in Mining Shaft.
[Calaveras Chronicle, December l9th.l

tCalaveras Chronicle, December 10Th
As Edward Pepin was on his wav home
in POOrman's Gulch, week ago last Sat.
urday evening, about 6 o'clock, in the
! darkness. he fell into shaft about twenty
five feet deep with about four feet of water
at the bottom. He received little or no in
july from the fall, the few feet of water
contributing to this favorable result. But
there he was standing IN water nearly
up to his neck, Pepin being short man
only five feet in hight. Being an out-of-
, the-way place in the woods, mile or two
from road, there was no likelihood of
anyone's coming near the place in a month,
so there was little hope of his cries reach
ing the ears Of anyone. He shouted how
ever until he was hoarse, but it was of no
use. His only hone was to discover some
way to climb the perpendicular wall of ce-
mented gravel. But he had no tools with
which to dig holes in the wall for his feet.
and to make the possibility of escape still
more hopeless, the diameter of the shaft
was too great for him to straddle
it. He thought of his pocket-knile
and went to work making holes for
his hands and feet. and attempting to
climb up the side of the shaft as
one would ladder. Upon the success
of this means was his only hope of escape
from q horrible death. Such a feat of
climbing under the most favorable circum-
stances would have been fearful expert
ence, but the condition in. the present case
afforded as little hope as any could and not
be hopeless. 1t was slow work digging in
cemented gravel with knife blade. He
labored carefully, for with the breaking of
his knife would vanish the last dim ray of
hope. Having dug holes for his feet, he
reached up and dug places where he clung
by the tips of his fingers while he dug
others above, and thus he finally managed
to reach the top and get ont. He was in
the shaft from o'clock Saturday until
about O'Clock Sunday evening, and he
says he fell back 10 the bottom OF the shaft
fifteen or twenty times in his efforts to
ascend. He broke off piece of his knife
blade in his operations, but fortunately
enough of the blade remained to enable
him to continue his work. Nearly every
time he fell, tool lhe lost his knife, for which
he had to search the bottom of the shaft
beneath the water. Once he had reached
point so that he could just look over the
top of the shaft, when his precarious foot
ing gave way and he was again precipitated
to the bottom. Pepin helped sink this
same shaft himself some time ago.

A RARE CAsE.-The following is from
the Amdslor Ledger of December 10Th:
DIR. E. B. Robertson was called in the
early part of the week to visit a patient
named Antonio Barrata, living at jackson
Gate. He is an Italian, about 30 years of
age, and has earned livelihood by min
ing. He was suffering from bleeding at
the rose to such an extent that all ordinary
remedies proved unavailing to stop it. In
order to prevent the patient bleeding to
death, it was found necessary to plug the
nostrils. Another feature of his disease is
the appearance of livid. purple blotches
over the hands and arms and other Dor
tons OF the body. Even the tongue is
affected in this way, and as far down the
throat as can be seen. These spots are
caused by the rupture of the small, SUPER
fetal veins, and the consequent presence of
stagnant blood beneath the skin. 1t is not
a common malady. Early in the week
little hopes were entertained of successfully
combating the disease, but since the dis
charge Of blood from the nose was con.
troled, the case has taken a favorable turn
and it is thought the patient will survive
The disease is called purpura, or puppies.
