Poison Oak.

The following extract taken from a letter written by Mr. E. A. Bell, fuily explains itself: While surveying land in 1883 I accidently handled poison oak vine, and in less than three hours (the eruption usually resulting from such contact begins in ten days) my face was swollen and disfigured, and my hands and arms seriously affected. I immediately began taking Swift s Specific (S. S. 5.,) and after taking three large bottles I found all signs of the breaking out entirely removed. I was led to suspect its return at the same time next year, but it did not, nor has there been any indications of its return since. My little boy, eight years old, was afflicted with the same poison in 1884. After taking several bottles of Swift’s Specific (8. S. 8.) the eruptions entirely disappeared, A very slight form of the same eruptioij returned daring the next spring, but we then resumed the 8. S. and having taken enough during that season to make the cure permanent, he has not since had any return of the disease. Swift’s Specific (Sw S. 8.) certainly effected thorough cures in both these cases, and I regard it as a most effeciive remedy, for all such disease.
