About His Brother.

Several years ago my brother, who lives with me; had a strange sore break oat on his log -about half way between the body and the knee—which afterwards developed into a roB9 cancer. It resulted from a bruise made by the rubbing of the stirrup-leather while riding. The cancer continued to grow until it was about five inches long, and three wide. The flesh sloughed off, black, rotten and foul, and it was almost impossible to procure a servant that would wait upon him, the air in the room where be lay being so foul that it would sicken anyone who entered. Every physician of any prominence in the state was consulted, treated my brother without success. One doctor finally advised him to try Swift’s Specific fS. S. S.); ho did so, and used nothing else. He commenced to improve immediately, and after taking several bottles was completely cured, and biuce 1884 not a symptom of the disease has manifested itself. O. R. Griffith, Mayflower, Ark.
