been no doubt amused during the
past few days by its sudden flop on
the tariff question as presented in

week ago the Mckinley measure
was one especially designed for the
benefit Of the west, and especially of
western farmers. But for II few
days past the opposite position has
been assumed by the great news

Can Scirrhus Cancer be Cured?

This is o hard question to answer.
Swift's Specific has cured thousands Of
cases Of Skin Cancer, and there have been
many cases of Scirrhus Cancer reported
cured by it. We Go say that S, s. is
worth trial in any case of cancer. We
append a state-from Miss Green, of Tall
apOOsa, Ga:
In 1854 had small lump in my left
breast, which proved to be a cancer. The
first remedy tried was to have it burned
eff. This did not cure it, for shortly
afterwards il broke out again in a much
worse form. 1 then consulted our drug
giSt, who advised me to try Swlft's Spec
lfic Is. :. s., and after taking about one
dozen bottles, was completely cured. and
my general health was greatly improved.
This has been over SIX years ago, and
my cancer has never appeared since. nor
has it troubled me il any way. [ can
cheerfulIy recommend SwIft's Specific

The crops in this section Of the county
were very poor last year and hardly half
crop was made, bnt the farmers are not
nearly as bad OF as those of other coun-
ties adjoining this, The laborlng classes

than any other OF the eastern counties.
The writer has been to the county seats
of several OF the Counties and observed
the people closely, and these are much
better clothed and seemed to be better
fed than those of any other place, The
great Disadvantage that the people labor
under here IS that their farms are not
drained, and their crops were drownt d
cut. "here there was good drainage

good crops and several made better crops
