Gave Back
Ny, Health.

There is no reason for being respondent
and considering diseases Of the blood
incurable, simply because the treatment
of physicians and many so-called blood
remedies fail to effect cure. Though
it is naturally disheartening to the suf-
ferer who faithfully takes the prescribed
treatment of the physicians, often at the
expense of hundreds of dollars, to find
himself, no better as time goes
by, still cure will result from the right
remedy, S.S.S., no matter what other
treatment has failed.
The reason that S.S.S. (Swift's Spe-
cihc) has so successfully cured even the
worst cases after other treatment had
been tried in vain is that it is the only
remedy which forces the poison from
the blood and permanently eliminates
it from the system, which is the only
correct principle of curing the disease.
Mercurial remedies bottle up the poison
and tear down the system, while S.S.S.
forces out the poison and builds up and
adds strength and vigor to the entire
SYSTEM 1t is natures remedy, and con-
taius no harmful Ingredient.

Mr.. Charles Glenn, of 1863 Dudley St.,
Cincinnati, is one of the many who
constantly praise S SIS. for giving him
back his health. He says:
"From childhood I was afflicted with
terrible blood disease, and have
taken almost every blood remedy on the
market, but my case was deepseated,
and one by one they failed. The large,
red blotches increased in size and num-
Der, and soon covered my entire body.
"My parents had me treated by a num-
Der of physicians, but the disease was
too much for them, and after their tenn
porary relief was over, found myself
growing steadily worse. Thus I grew
into manhood, handicapped by terrible
disease, and having tried so many rene
dies without relief, when friend urged
me to take SIS. had little faith in any
medicine. was happy to find, however,
that had at gotten the right remedy,
for one bottle of SIS did me so much
good that soon had hopes of being cured.
I continued the remedy, and was cured
completely, the unsightly spots soon
disappeared, leaving my skin perfectly
clear. My general health was also built
up, and am robust and strong. 1 be-
lieve SIS. will cure the worst case of
blood poison in the world"
SIS. is real blood remedy, and will
cure the most obstinate cases of Cancer,
Eczema, Catarrh, Scrofula, Rheumatism,
Contagious Blood Poison, old sores,
or any disease caused by impure blood.

The prevalence of rheumatism in this part
Of the country has long been source of
unfavorable comment by other localities less
subject to this affection. Indeed there are
few adults in the Valley of the Mississippi
who at some time in their lives may not ex-
pect to realize the direful effects of rheuma-
tism in some one of its different forms. In
this immediate section the attention of The
Democrat. Message has several times been
called to particular instances where the effects
of this malady have rendered life almost
uncomfortable.
In this connection it may not be out of
place for this journal to refer to recent
incident. We refer to Mr.. John j. Friday,
Jr., of Ripley, ILL.,, we'll known to many
of our people as young man of character
and standing. Last spring Mr.. Friday was
attacked by rheumatism in its severest form
he, like many others-prohably inheriting
q tendency to the disease. A reporter met
him the other day and found him about as
lively looking young man as there is in
Brown County. In reply to an inquiry as
to the remedies used by him which had re-
suited so favorably, Mr.. Friday said: In
the spring of 1896 was attacked by rheu-
matism. The disease progressed until was
past getting around. For long time was
unable to lie down in bed and was forced to
sit up as many as four nights in a week
without going to bed at all. consulted the
leading physicians both in Mt. Sterling and
Nashville, but obtained no relief. My con-
dition was growing worse, and it seemed as
If nothing could help me.
In talking with George Riggles, a friend
of mine, he said that he also had suffered
from rheumatism and had been completely
cured by using DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
He told me that before he began using this
medicine he could scarcely bend his knee
