Mr. D. M. Grayson, of Cronville, Franklin parish, La., says: I think Swift’s Specific is the best blood remedy in the world. I have known it to make wonderful cures of persons with blood diseases, some cases which had been regarded as incurable.

Dr. B. T. Coppedge, of Yerona, Mo., says Tie has sold a large quantity of Swift’s Specific, and to a great many customers, and knows it to be most successfully used for maladies of the blood. Swift’s Specific is not one of the old potash, sarsaparilla, or mercury mixtures. It contains no potash, no murcury, or any poisonous substance. It relieves the system by forcing the impurities out through the pores of the skin,, and builds up the patient from the first dose. We sell great quantities of S. S. S., and the sale bolds np well —no falling off, or prospect of falling off. While many are loud in its praises, not one complaint has been heard from our customers.
