Bi Stim A Statement of Facts. ——+020.—_ Two gentlemen, discussing the subject of rheumatism and other blood diseases, made the following declarations. One was on crutches, which prompted the inquiry of the other as to what was the matter. He said: “I have had a long spell of ty- phoid fever. which left me almost Prostrate. My system was poison- ed with malaria, which sett!ed in my left leg, causing a fearful ulcer. My friends induced me to take mercury to cleanse my blood, but alas! my teeth are loose, mv mouth is sore. My hair is nearly all gone and my limbs are drawn up with rheumatism, and I cannot walk without crutches. Recently they have changed the prescription, and 1 have been taking iodide of potash. This healed up the ulcer, but has disordered my stomach and caused Pain in the bowels, and I am so weak and nauseated that [had as soon die as to live on at this rate.’’ ‘*My dear sir, you should have known that mercury taken any length of time would gradually set- tle in the tissues and bones, produc- ing mercurial rheumatism and nae| diseases equally as painful. And everybody knows that iodide of pot- ash is one of the strongest mineral preperations in the whole list; eats away the coating ot the stomach, dries up the gastric juices, destroys all appetite, and wears a man away to a mere skeleton. These mercury and potash mixtures have killed and crippled more men than war, tamine and pestilence combined. I am sor- ty for you. If you ate open to con- viction I have relief for you in sight. Here 1s a remedy which, as a boon to humanity, is worth its weight in gold. Imean the Swift’s Specific. It 18 the only specific for blood poi- son. Itis purely vegetable, made from roots gathered from the tor- ests ot Georgia. It builds up wast- ed constitutions, roots out these mineral poisons from the blood, and brings health and happiness into ey- ery sufferer’s home. ad you taken this you would have been a well man long ago. It is this remedy that has given me pertect health and keeps me strong,”’ said the other man. Treatise on Blood and Skin Dis- eases mailed tree. The Swiit Specific Co., Drawer | 3» Atlanta, Ga.
