' What in tbe world has happened to you
since the lost time 1 saw von'."' asked one
lady of another when t hey met on the street
the other uay; " I can t understand it; theu
you were pale, haggard and low-spirited,
and 1 remember you said you hardly cared
whether you lived or died. To-day you look
evereo muuli younger, and it is very evi
dent from your beaming face that your low
spirits have taken night." " Yes indeod,"
was the reply; "and shall I tell you what
drove them away? It was Dr. Pierce's fa
vorite prescription. 1 was a martyr to func
tional derangement until j began taking the
' Prescription.' Now I am as well as 1 ever
was in my life. No woman who sutlers as I
did, ought to let on hour pass before pro.

Occasionally there are candid and fearles
men in the medical profession who, though
strict adherents and exponents of a profes
sional l'tf(hics" are yet too noble-minded to
be hampered by prejudices and superstitions
about "ethics'' when suffering humauity is
concerned, men who will speak the truth as
they know it in behalf of anythiug, and to
whom n proprietary medicine is not a scare
crow nor a bugaboo, simply because it goes
itf that name, but who investigates its mer-
by experiments, and when it proves to be
what it claims to be, at once steps to the
fruit and frankly acknowledges its merits
ando:nmeud it to suffering humanity every,
wheae. Such a man is Dr. J. N. Cheeuey,
au eminent and well known physician, liv
ing at KllavilV, fchey county, Georgia, who,
inaleMerto the Swift Specific Company,
dated Maxell 21, 1SS7, ay, jn reference to
ihei f.uuou me.ticine:
Your S.K. S. medicine has revolution

found. Your 8. S. B. is a beon to humanity.
