The African Race.

We recently met a well.known colored
porter of a Pullman Car, who rams from
Atlanta TO New York. His name Is Au-
gustus l.. Grant, and he lives at 252 Hayne
street, Atlanta, ia. He said: II would
like to publish for the benefit of consump
tives, and for the comfort of their friends,

tive's grave know that many people
think the Colored people do not have con.
sumption. but it is a great mistake. Seven
years ago became subject of this for
lorn disease, and was SO pronounced by
my physicians. My lungs became badly
affected, my cough was awful, at times al
most shaking me to pieces. My health
broke down and SO declined that | became
helpless and reduced in flesh almost to a

lungs suffered more; my cough became
exceedingly exhaustive, discharging great
quantities of pus and consumptive matter.

some of the best physicians prescribed for
me, and became interested In my case. But
after two or three years treatment, finding
that continued TO grow worse, they one
by one abandoned the case until they were
all agreed that II was a question of time
with me, anu the time Was thought TO be
very short In this condition, with one
foo, as it were, in the grave, and making
my preparations Ia go through the dark
waters of death, one of my physicians,
mentioned to me- remedy which might
be tried as last resort His reasoning
was that consumption being nothing more
than ulcers on the lungs, why is it that
remedy which will cure an ulcer on the
lungs? AT MS suggestion | procured a
bottle of Swifts Specific and began to
take IT, felt so much benefited from the
first bottle that | persevered in the use of
II, and my improvement WAS almost as rap

back to me, ny digestion was good, my
strength was rapidly regained, my lungs
healed over nicely, my cough left me grad

have not lost days wages nor felt symp-

brought me So near the brink of the grave.
