five years ago ! wrote = letter stating that Swift's
Specific had cured me of severe rheumatism. Since
that time l have had no return of the rheumatic
troubles, although frequently exposed to the innu-
euces that produced former attacks. Several Of my
fricads had a similar experience, and are firm in
their conviction that $. &. s. brought . permanent
cure. The searching power of this medicine is
shown in the fact that it developed a scrofulous
faint that was conspicuous in my blood over thirty
years ago, ard has removed the last trace of it. I

attack Of maiarial fever, which kept me in bed for
