SWIFT'S SPECIFIC


Feeling that to the preparation, S. S. s.. I
am indebted for the life Of my little daughter.
/ take pleasure Ia submitting the following
statement, which feel is due to the public foa
the benefit Of suffering humanity:
In the year 1858 my daughter was poisoned
by what is known as poison oak. and in Verg
short time she was completely covered with
sores. The pain was intense, aud her arms,
legs and face were the exact fac simlle OF the
bark Of a tree. She was incapable OF using
her limbs. I Immediately called IN a member
Of the medical profession, who said Il was the
worst case that he had ever seen, and no ono
who saw her thought that che could possibly
recover. Only a mother can appreciate my
feelings as gazsd upon my child in this con-
dition. In this frame Of mind saw the adu
vertisement OF Swift's specific IN the Charles
ton Ne,os and Courisr ana Immediately CONS
menced 70 give her this medicine. The drsf
that continued 1t, and before the third bottle
had been used she had entirely recovered.
/ would have given the above statement
sooner, but every one who knew anything
about the poison oak stated that they never
knew a case cured that did not break oug
every succeeding spring. For my own satis-
faction / waited, and can now safely asserf
that It WAS a complete cure, and 1t has noe
made It's appearance since in the slightest
manner. cannot be thankful enough that Z

make the following statement OF my mother
case, and the consciousness that it Will do
others good by bringing relief to some poor
creature tortured as she was, consent for its
publication: My mother. Mrs. Feathers. has
had cancer OF the womb for many months
Last winter the doctor told rs II was cancer,
and could not De cured. Five different physi-
clans IN private practice have said the same
thing. We took her to the woman's hospital Of
this city, ana they repeated the same story.
The doctor there told US lt was cancer
aud she must die. We then took her to the
New York College Hospital, and they told us
the same thing there, that she had cancer, and
could live but very short time. She was
then carried TO my house, where she waited
patiently the coming Of death as her only re-
lief. We saw the advertisement of the Swift
Specific Company, and, as "a drowning man
grasps at straw we went to the office of tue
company. at l57 West TwentV-third street,
and the physician told me to try IL; that it
would do no possible harm, ana that il would
cure her. She had lost great deal OF flesh
and strength. and ID seemed folly TO give her
medicine IN the face Of what we had been told
However, we commenced the use OF s.
J. s.. and kept it up for a month Def re
We began TO sec any Improvement. From
that time on her general health improved,
and she was soon raised from her bed. The
Discharge increased so much that it fright

away In great siOughs ana Jumps. For two
months now there has been no hemOrrhagc,
no sign OF discharge. Thank God, my
