Metal Poison.

I am a coppersmith by trade and during a series of years my arms (being bare whenjat work) have absorbed a wonderful amount of metal poison. Having a scrofulous tendency from my the small particles of of copper and brass would get into the sores % and by this process the poison was convey-, ed into my blood till my whole system became infected. I was treated with the old remedies of mercury and iodide potassium. Salivation f follo\ved, my teeth are all loose in my, head, my digestive organs deranged, and I have been helpless in bed for over a year with mercurial rheumatism. My joints were all swolen, and I lost the use of my arms and legs, and became helpless as an infant. My sufferings became so intense that it was impossible for me to rest. The doctors advised me to go to the city hospital for treatment. This I could not bear. A irieud, who has proved a friend indeed, urged me to try Swift’s Specific, believing it would cure me. Others discouraged me, but I secured a few bottles, and have now taken two dozen bottles. The first effect of the medicine was to bring th poison to the surface, and I broke out all over in running sores. They soon disappeared, and my skin cleared off. My knees, which had become twice their natural size, have resumed their natural size, and are as supple as of yore. My arms and hands are all right again, and can use them without pain. The entire disease has left all parts of the body save two„. ulcers on my on mv wrists, which are heal- •/ ing rapidly. lam weak from long confinement, but I have the use of all my limbs. This medicine is bringing me out of ihe greatest trial of my life, and I cannot find words sufficient to express .my appreciation of its virtues, and the gratitude I feel that I ever heard of it.
