Swift's Specific being real blood REM
edy never fails to cure Rheumatism. It
reaches even the worst cases where the
doctors have made cripples with their
prescriptions of potash and mercury.
Mr.. D. r. johnson, an extensive lum-
Der dealer of Blackshear, Ca, writes:
"My wife was for years sufferer from
Rheumatism, and was treated constant
ly, but could obtain no relief. The pain
was first felt in her left shoulder, and
extended in all directions, increasing
in severity. The doctors said the dis
ease was liable to strike the heart at any
time, in which event death would be
inevitable.
every kind of treatment recommend
ed for Rheumatism was given her,
including many blood remedies, but
none did her any good. She was grow
ing worse all the while, and was reduced
to mere shadow of her former self.
"It was at this critical period that
Swift's Specific was given her; the med
icine seemed to reach the disease
promptly, and she at once began to i'm
prove. One dozen bottles effected a
complete cure, and she has had no touch
Of the disease since"
Every one afflicted with Rheumatism
should take remedy which can reach
their trouble. S.S.S. will cure the most
aggravated ease of Rheumatism, Catarrh,

Tho Horses Run Awas-Cnble Car Gong wasn't
A carriage, In which Charles P. Armstrong Of
8 Wes' Seventy-tifth street was riding west on
Seventy-irst street, was struck by a south
bound Columbus avenue cable car about IL
o'clock last evening.
The front platform of tho cable car banged
against the rear wheels of the Armstrong car
rage, throwing the vehicle against an elevated
railroad pillar. Before the car stopped the rear
wheels and springs of the carriage had been
torn off.
The jar and noise frightened Mr.. Armstrong;
horses. They turned square around. cleared the
elevated railway pillar. and ran toward Central
Park. cutting in ahead of tho cable car. which
had been stopped. Tho hind end of the carriage
bumped over the car tracks and slid over tho
asphalt pavement of Seventy-hrst street. shak-
ing Mr.. Armstrong up thoroughly. He was not
able to get out, nor was his coRchman able to
stop the horses, which went at their own speed
toward the Park wall.
At the west side of Central Park West Hans
Gerstell of 229 Columbus avenue and Police
man Higgins caught the frightened horses and
held them until they became quiet. Mr.. Arm
strong crawled out of his wrecked carriage and
remarked that he was glad to be alive. He was
not injured. Mr.. Armstrong and his coachman,
united in saying that the cable car gong was
not rung. and that they had no warning of the
cars approach. They were upheld in this state
ment by several persons who saw the accident.
]. 4. Barnes of 7S5 Seventh avenue, the grip
man of the car, was not arrested.
