Cancerl Cured.

Mrs. Oliver Hardman, an old resident of Walton eountyand a lady of culture and prom, laence, ba& this to say of the treatment of cancer with Swift’s Specific: - - a Over fifteen years ago a cancer made its appearance on my face. It was treated with plasters, and the core came out. The place healed up after some time, and seemingly face was well. However, in a few years it returned again with more violence than ever. It gave me a great deal of pain. The former remedy seemed to do it no good. Knowing the disease to run in the family, having had one sister to die with cancer, I became seriously apprehensive of my condition. It continued to increase in size and virujence, I almost gave up all hope of ever being cured. The physicians advised the use of the knife and caustic. This was more than I could bear, and refused to have it operated upon in that way. All other remedies were used, but the cancer continued to grow worse. The pain was excruciating, and my life was a burden. In-this extremity my son, Dr. Hard man, recommended me to try Swift’s specific. It was the last resort, but I was so prejudiced against the use of patent medicines, and especially this one, that I hesitated some time. At last I gave my consent, not believing there was any virtue in it. The first bottle only increased the size of the sore and the discharge from it, and hence did not inspire me with any hope. On taking the second bottle there were signs of improvement, and my faith strengthened just in proportion to that improvement. The spot on my face began to decrease, as well as the discharge,’ and hope sprang up in my heart.. Could-it be, I astced myself, that I was at last to be relieved of this disease? It has* given me so many dark hours in the past that the idea of being well again well nigh overpowered me. There was a contest between hope and fear for a long time. It was a long night of weeping, but joy came with the morning. There is nothing left to mark the place but a small scar, and I feel that it is impossible for me to ex-! press . my gratitude for this great deliverance. It is a wonderful medicine.
