The Vanderbilt Properties and the Rail-
way War.

New YoRK, May 9-The Evening Post,
in its financial article. says: at is not
claimed by any one that the discouraging
reports of the business of the Vanderbilt
roads east of Chicago have been exagger-
ated, but there has certainly been no effort
to make them look encouraging for the fu-
ture. Ths only hope of an i'm
provement in the future of these
roads is in the settlement of
the West Shore war The first step
toward this would be the West Shore bond
holders and other creditors getting their
own quarrels 80 settled that there would be
some definite West Shore organization to
deal with. 1t is reported that this is about
to be accomplished, and the West Shore
complications will be settled very shortly.
II this proves correct it is not improbable
that the western railroad war, which has
been waged without any purpose except to
do injury, may suddenly come TO close"

Cancer Cured

Mrs. Olive Hardman an old resident of Walton
county, and lady of culture and prominence. has
this to say of the treatment of cancer with Swits
Specific:
Over fifteen years ago a cancer made its appear
ance on my face. Ii was treated with plasters
and the core come ont The place healed up after
some time, and seemingly my face was well
However in few years ii returned again with more
violence than ever. Ii gave me a great deal of
pain. The former remedy seemed 10 do it no
good. Knowing the disease to run in the family,
having had one sister die with cancer. | became
seriously apprehensve of my condition II con-
timed TO increase in size and virulence ] almost
gave up all hope of ever been cured The ply
sicians advised the use of the knife and caustic
This was more than could hear, and refused to
have II operated upon in that way. All other
remedies were used, but The cancer continued to
grow worse. The pain was excruciating. and my
life was burden. In this extremity, my son, DR.
Hardman, recommended me to try Swifts Spe
cifc. 1t was the last resort, but was SO preju-
diced against the use of patent medicines and
especially this one. that l hesitated some time.
At last gave my consent, not believing there was
any virtue in it. The first bottle only increased
the size of the sore and the discharge from it,
and hence did not inspire me with any hope. On
taking the second bottle there were signs of i'm.
provement, and my faith strengthened Just IN
proportion. used the Specific a wash in the
treatment of my cancer with remarkable success.
l spunged the sore with the medicine diluted with
little water. 1t softencd the scab, cooled the
face and relieved the itching sensation. The spot
on my face began TO decrease, as well as the dis
charge, and hope sprang up in my heart. Could
it be, asked myself, that l was at last to be re-
lieved of this disease Ii has given me so many
dark hours in the past that the idea OF being well
again almost overpowered me. There was a con-
test between hope and fear for a long time. II
was long night of weeping but joy came with
the morning There is nothing left to mark the
place but small scar, and feel that il is impos-
sible for me to express my gratitude for this great
deliverance. 1t is wonderful medicine.
