II is Time.

The Journal, published at Lanes
boro, Mimi, had the following editor
ial in it's columns on January 1st
1886: \. il.
Our readers will have noticed in
our columns the advertisements of the
Swift Specific Co., of Atlanta GA. We
are exceedingly chary of committing
ourselves in recommendation of any
patent or proprietary medicines
but we do not hesitate to
state our belief that this medicine
has proven itself to be one of the most
valuable blood purifiers and tonics
known. 1t is now manufactured by
an organized company and on an i'm.
mense scale. Messrs. Lamar, Rankin
& Lamar, Atlanta, Macon and Albany,
Ga, who brought before the public
and are still the principal owners,
are wholesale and retail druggists OF
of the highest character, and stand
ing. We knew them well, by repu-
tation, and had, while in that city,
the pleasure of a personal acquain-
lance with Mr.. Lamar, the Macon
member of the firm. If the facts
that it is guaranteed by by men of
the highest personal and professional
character that it has had wonder
fully rapid introduction and sale, and
that it has the confidence and firm
support of thousands who have used
it count for something, Swift's Speci-
fic offers those assurances of its value.
For sale by all druggists.

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense
of weight in the back, loins and lower part
of the abdomen, causing the patient to sup.
pose he has some affection of the kidneys or
neighborng organs. At times, symptoms
of indigestion are present, fatuency, uneasi-
ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture, like
perspiration, producing very disagreeable
itching, after getting warm, lisa common ut
tendant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles
yield at once to the application of DIR. Bo-
sankos's Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts affected, absorbing the tu-
mors, allaying the intense itching, aud eff
fectiug permanent cure. Price, 80 cents.
