CURE OF CANCER.
Cancer OH the Lip.

In 1868 a cancer developed on my low
er lip. l went under treatment at once
and from time to time since have had
medical aid in New Orleans, Boston and
New York, with no benefit at all. 1t has
progressed right along, and now lnvadeS
my Jaw and cheek. One thousand dollars
would not cover the loss sustained through
the medical and surgical aid l have re-
ceived. l have certainly tried everything,
and have been benefited by nothing until
l took S. S. S. 1t has done me more
good than all else put together, and be-
lieve will soon be sound and well. l
commenced it just before Gen. Grant
died, and it had such miraculous eff
feet upon me that ! wrote to him, giving
your New York address, and begged him
to take it. Surely he did not do it, or he
doubtless would have been alive and well
to-day. Your Swift's Specific is great
boon to humanity, and, for the good OF
others, you are welcome to publish any
part or all of this letter if you wish.

BLOOD POISON.
Twenty Years Afflicted.

For twenty years l have been afflicted
with a dreadful blood poison, and during
all those years had the best medical adj
vice in the country, the physicians pre-
scribing the only remedies known, such as
mercury and iodide of potassium, all to no
purpose. ! was six months in Bellevue
Hospital, and became SO bad that de-
SPARED of getting well. then, through
advice, went to Europe and tried some of
the best physicians there with the same
results. l went to New Orleans Alas,
however, after taking more mercury and
potassium, l became so much worse that |
gave up to die. l had large ulcers all
over my body and face. There were holes
in my legs that you could put hens egg
in, clear down to the bone. A number of
pieces of bone came out of my ankle. l
then came back to Providence, and by
chance got hold of paper with the ad-
vertisement of Swifts Specific in it of a
wonderful cure. AS a last hope thought
l would try.it. Thanks be to God can
say to-day that l am perfectly cured. hav-
ing taken medicine about three months.
Up to the present date no symptoms of
the disease have returned, and feel as
well as before | was poisoned. have
nothing but the scars to show that | was
ever afflicted. ALBERT ELLIOTT.

CURE OF MALARIA.
Conquered at Last.

Disease claims every season for its own,
and each season has its own disease. There
is not a more prevalent one or one more
fatal than malarial fever. In many com
munities it assumes very malignant
form, and resembles in its leading charac-
teristics that of yellow fever. 1t has been
demonstrated by actual experience in hun
dreds of cases that Swift's Specific is a
preventive as well as an antidote to mala-
ria and its consequences.
Col. E. B. Cryers, of Trenton, La, and
Superintendent of the Ouachita Line OF
steamers, says:
81 have been using Swift's Specific in
my family for the past two years as an
antidote for malaria and also as blood
purifier with the most satisfactory results.
| live on the banks of the Ouachita River,
in what is called the swamp country
Myself and family enjoy as good or even
better health than the average people who
live in the hill country. | am confident
that S. S. S. has banished the malarial
poisons from our systems, and consequent
" given us good health. use it at in.
tervals during the Spring and Summer
when the system indicates being charged
with poison, and it invariably drives i
out"

Rescued from the Grave.

My wife for many years was afflicted
with a blood disease which baitled the
most skillful treatment, and finally re-
suited in a very large liberated and ugly
looking running sore on one OF her limbs,
which had been growing larger and larger
for the last four years, discharging quantl-
ties Of pus or matter, and was 50 rapidly
undermining her health that | almost
despaired of cfecting a cure. | tried
every known remedy, such as the sarsa-
parilla and potash mixtures and prescrip-
tons of the best physicians, with no
benefit in any way. A few months ago
my attention was called to S. S. 5. | pro-
cured some of this medicine, which She
BEGAN to take, and in short time increas-
ed in flesh and strength, and the sore,
which was then larger than my hand and
reached to the bone, began to heal. Alter
continuing its use a few weeks she re-
gained her health and spirits, and the sore
was entirely healed. She bad been in
such a terrible condition for years, and so
near deaths door at the time she com
menced the S. S. S., that | RETAINED from
making the facts known to the public.
Though knowing or being satisfied that
she was cured l feared the disease might
return, but as it has now been three
months since she stopped using the medi-
cine, and is in perfect health, being able
to walk several miles without unusual
fatigue, and attends to household duties
as She did before she was afflicted, pub
lcly make this statement for the benefit Of
all who arc afflicted as was my wife.

Another Sufferer.

For six years I was afflicted with
chronic rheumatism, part Of the time per
fcctly helpless, not being able TO walk at
all. For a while my left leg was drawn
backward until nearly doubled. IT had a
number Of running sores on it. Ply
sicians gave me no relief tried every
patent medicine recommended for rheu-
matism, being druggist myself, but to no
profit. At last ] commenced the use Of
Swid's Specific. At first it seemed to
make me worse. My leg was much swol-
len, and | had a physician to lance it. /
soon began to improve. After taking less
than dozen bottles Of SwifPs Specific /
found myself sound and well for the first
time in Six years. That was five months
ago; have felt no symptoms OF the dis
ease since. I believe Swllts Specific to
be the best of all rheumatic remedies
made. | commend it 10 all who are suf
fering a, / have suffered.

Poison Oak.

Last Sunday, while at Mr.. T. +. Hud-
sons, the gFeat hay and carp man, who is
perhaps better known than any farmer in
the State, &c noticed that his son, De
Witt, seemed to be skinning OFF at the
hands, Mr.. II. called the little fellow to
him and showed us how the skin, even
on the palms Of his hands, was coming
off in fakes and a new skin appearing
underneath He explained that several
years ago the child was badly poisoned
with poison oak, and every Spring he
broke out and suffered greatly. lie had
applied every known remedy to relieve
the sufferer, and employed physicians to
attend him, but with no avail. "In fact"
Mr.. Hudson continued, ait seemed like to
60 in sight Of a poison oak vine would
cause the euptions to break out alresh.
After trying everything else | read IN the
Banner WafcbRlaN SO much about the ,.
S. S. blood medicine that | determined to
try that also, but must confess that | had
but little hope in it. But, as you see, its
success has been wonderful 1t has
driven every particle of the poison from
my child's system and is now putting

cured and the S. S. s. did the good work.
| believe that it will drive out any kind
Of poison from the blood, and its effect on
Dewitt proves it. There are a great
many sufferers from poison oak in the
country, and to such l can knowingly rec
ommend this great medicine. 1t not
only effects a certain cure, but seems to
put fresh life into one"
This is only one of the numerous in
dorsements Of S. S. S. that have reached
us, and we publish it as information to
those who are suffering with poison it
their system, it matters not from what
source it comes This discovery in regard
to curing the effects of poison oak is OF
great Importance, as it gives a certain re-
medy for a most common and aggravating
afIliction, for which no permanent relief
had ever been known. The S. $. S. is
certainly the king of blood medicines, and
is as harmless as it is solvent for the eradi-
cation of impure blood from the system

A FEW REMARKS
TO THE PUBLIC !

We do not think there is another prepar-
alton which can bring forward such indorse-
mentS. We do not claim our remedy to be
a specific for all diseases, but we do know
it to be a remedy for diseases of the blood.
1t has been established beyond all doubt
that scarcely any disease can find lodgment
with the blood in good condition. To all
these we say: If broken down in health, or
your malady can be traced to bad condi-
ton of your blood, take our Specific and
you will not be disappointed. Our prepa-
ration removes the accumulated poison of
ages from the blood, and we boldly assert
that 90 per cent. of all diseases spring from
some corrupting influence of this, "the
fountain of all life," and we further assert
that the proper vegetable remedies are cures
for blood diseases.
We would again call your attention to
the fact that in almost every instance where
Swift's Specific was resorted to, it was after
all remedies of the scientist had failed
How much more potent the Specific would
be could man be induced to avail himself OF
its powers before every other heatment
had been tried in vain - and the system
impregnated with mineral poisons.

DRY OR POWDERED FORM.

We have reduced the roots and herbs Of
which Swift's Specific is prepared to a

who cannot take medicine containing spirit.
We give three processes for preparing it.
