A Remarkable Cure of a Horse.

Col James L. Fleming, a prominent
Fleming d Lotion, augusta, Ca, makes
the following statement of the treatment OF
valuable horse with Swift's Specific
In the fail of 1888 l had valuable colt
taken with severe case of Pinkeye, which
| resulted in the most fearful case of blooo
poisoning have ever seen. After eight O.
nine months of doctoring with every
remedy that c uld hear of, I despaired of a
cure. AT this time the horse was unable to
move because of swollen limbs. His right
nlnd leg was as large as a mans body, and
had on 1t over forty running sores. He had
also number of large sores on his
body and other limbs. He was a most
p1tiable looking object, and was advised
10 end his sufferings with the shot gun. He
was valuable animal, and did not want
to lose him. After racking my brain in search
for another remedy more efficacious. l
thought of Swift's Specific. 1 knew it was
valuable to the human family as a blood
purifier, and why should it not be for the
animal AS well !? did not hesitate, but sent,
last July. to Atlanta for a supply.
began the treatment with OF of 8. s. g.
and OF. of water three times day. This
continued for week. Then increased
the dose to OF. OF each, and continued for
a week. Then increased to OF. and run II
aweek when went back to OF. sgain The
result was that at the end of the first week
the horse had fair appetite, which he had
not had since his sickness. At the end of
the second week even greater Improvement
was apparent. for many of the sores were
healing nicely. and the horse manifested a
desire to move about. At the end of the
third week he began TO show gain in flesh,
and had full appetite. The swelling had about
disappeared. fused in all about 10 bottles
Of Swift's Specific, and when quit its use
the horse had only fonr small sores left on
him. and they healed up Immediately.
In August last all symptoms of the disease
passed away, and up to date no signs of the
return of the trouble have made their ap- |
pearance, and the horse has done a mules |
work on my farm. /
l regard it one of the most remarkable |
cures | have ever known. Thus this great /
Medicine has proven boon 10 the animal
Is well as to the human race.
