I have been using fur a month or two In my house hold. S-vift’s Specific (S. S. S ), the greater portion of 1 it having been consumed by the female portion of ray family, and with the happiest results. It acted like a charm ou uiy wife, who hud been in bad health for a long time, andfor whom 1 have paid h ndredsof dol lars for doctors and medicines. It began to build ii r upfromtlie flrstdose. Another female member of my family took it with equally satisfactory results. It is certainly the best tonic for delicate ladies that I have ever us -d, and 1 have tried them all. 1 have no doubt that want of exercise, close confinement in poorly ven fitted houses, sewer gas poison and malarial poison often produce sickness among our wives, daughters and sisters, and I believe Swift’s Specific Is the remedy for all tills sort of blood poisoning.
