Mr. B. P. McAllister, of Harrodsburg,
Ky, had Catarrh for years. He writes:
'I could see no improvement what
ever, though / was constantly treated
with sprays and washes, and different
inhaling remedies-in fact, could feel
that each winter was worse than the
year previous.
"Finally it was brought to my notice
that Catarrh was a blood disease. and
after thinking over the matter, saw it
was unreasonable to expect to be cured
by remedies which only reached the
surface. 1 then decided to try S. S. s.,
and the results were gratifying, for
after a few bottles we're used, noticed
a perceptible improvement. Continu-
ing to take the remedy, the disease was
forced out of my system, and a COM
plete and permanent cure was the
result. I advise all who have this
dreadful disease to abandon their local
treatment, which has never done them
any good, and take S.S.S. (Swift's Spe-
cifc), a remedy which can reach the
disease and cure it."
To continue the wrong treatment for
Catarrh is to continue to suffer. Swift's
Specific never fails to cure even
the most aggravated cases. It is a
real blood remedy, and cures Catarrh,
Rheumatism, Contagious Blood Poison,
Eczema, Cancer, Scrofula, and all other
blood diseases. S. S. S. is guaranteed

well worth the sacrifice. Here is what he says in u letter to the editor of
The Commonwealth dated April 9, 1891;

TT Is REPORTED that Gov Bob Taylor, of Tennessee, has signifed his de.

office were he also knew what his lecturing business ws worth and

an Instance mentioned in history where the acts of a high Official were char
