A Remarkable Rescue. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, 111., makes the statement that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs; she was treated for a month by her family physician, but grew worse. He told her she was a hopeless victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure. Her druggist suggested Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefited from first dose. She continued its use and after taking six bottles, found herself sound and well; now does her own housework, and is as well as she ever was.

Crippled by Rheumatism. Those who have Rheumatism find themselves growing steadily worse all the while. One reason of this is that the remedies prescribed by the doctors contain mercury and potash, which ultimately intensify the disease by causing the joints to swell and stiffen, producing a severe aching of the bones. 8. 8. S. has been curing Rheumatism for twenty years—even the worst cases which seemed almost incurable. Capt. O. E. Hughes, the popular railroad conductor, of Columbia, S. C., had an expert ence with Rheumatism whioh convinced him th a t ther£ is only one cure for that painful disease. He says: •• I was a >■■■ Mk great sufferer from mus- / va cular Rheumatism for ty| two years. I could get no permanent relief Fjf • L from any medicine pre- gg y w scrilted by my physician. -7 I took about a dozen l>ot- | . ties of your S. S. S.. and 1 y now 1 am as well as I ever was inmy life. lam | sure that your medicine Zl'' ' I cured me. and I would recommend it to anyone z. suffering from any blood disease.” Everybody knows that Rheumatism is a diseased state of the blood, and only a blood remedy is the only proper treatment, but a remedy containing potash and mercury only aggravates the trouble. S.S.SS,BIood being Purely Vegetable, goes direct to the very cause of the disease and a permanent cure always results. It is the only blood remedy guaranteed to contain no potash, mercury or other dangerous minerals. Books mailed free by Swift Specifics Company, Atlanta, Georgia.
