Pleasant Reminiscences of
the Visits of Lord and
Lady Dalhousie.
Ignatius Donnelly's Crypto
gram in London—Killed
His Two Sisters.
A Row Over a Woman With
Bare Arms—Some Queer
Antipathies.
ETAILSof the melan
choly death of Lord and
Lady Dalhousie caused
sincere regret in the so
cial circle which they
only recently left here
to return to Europe,
says a New York tele
gram. Lord and Lady
Dalhousie arrived here
from their home, which
is known as Brechin
Castle, in Scotland, Oct.
4. They were guests of
the Hotel • Brunswick, and came over
especially to visit Lord Dalhousie**
brother, 'Hon. Charles Maule-Kamsey,
who married the granddaughter oi
Commodore Garrison. Miss Estelle Gar
rison. Mr. Ramsey is extensively en
gaged in wheat farming in Minnesota,
where he has several thousand acres
of land. He met his brother and
sister-in-law here and escorted
them about the city for a week. Lord
Dalhousie was especially interested it*
the various educational institutions of
the city. After remaining here for a
•week Lord and Lady Dalhousie accom
panied Mr. Ramsey to Stephen, Minn..
where they spent two weeks with Mr.
and Mrs. Ramsey. They also spent a
few days pleasantly in Chicago. They
returned here two weeks ago Friday
and sailed Saturday thereafter for
Havre by the French line. Lord Dal
housie was in ill health when he arrived
here and was accompanied by his pri
vate physician. Dr. Fagg. While on his
brothers farm he overexerted himself
in hunting and fishing, ami he was not
in as good health when he started for
Havre as when he arrived
here. Lady Daihousie was anx
ious to get back to her chil
dren, whicii determined their speedy
departure after arriving here. She was
herself indisposed when the steamer
sailed. Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay have re
mained here since Lord and Lady Dal
housie sailed until Friday, when Mr.
Ramsay started on an excursion over
the nearly completed line of the St.
Paul, Minneapolis «*_ Manitoba railroad
as the guest of President Hill, ot that
company. Mrs. Ramsey is at 018 Fifth
avenue, where she received private dis
patches yesterday confirming the news.
Mr." Ramsay has* been reached by tele
graph and is on his way back here to
take the first steamer for Europe. Kt.
Hon. John William Maule Ramsay, K.
T., the thirteenth Earl of. Dalhousie in
the peerage of Scotland and the
second Baron Ramsay in the peer
age of the United : Kingdom, was
born in 1847 and educated at
Baliol college, Oxford. At the age of
fourteen he entered the navy, was made
a lieutenant in 188., and promoted to
the rank of commander in 1874. For
four years he served on board the
Galatea under his royal highness, the
Duke of Edinburgh, with whom he also
served as equerry. He afterward
studied at Oxford, and then returning
to his profession, he was appointed to
the Britannia. He was known in the
service to be a good sailor and an ex
ceptionally good officer. Though a
"swell," he owed the rapidity of his rise
in the navy to the distinguished man
ner in which be passed his exam
inations for lieutenant, and he was
one of the small band who won "the
Beaufort."' He was _ strong advocate
of local option, and very earnest in his
desire to rectify the grievances of the
Irish people. lie stood for parliament
as a Liberal in 1879, being materially
aided in his canvass by Lady Dalhousie,
who became a favorite with the elec
tors. On one occasion, at a great politi
cal gathering in Liverpool, when Lord
Ramsay had finished his speech, the
chairman called upon Lady Ramsay in
the names of the wives who were pres
ent with their husbands and those who
were there alone, to say a few kind
words for her own husband. The fair
politician, blushing deeply, rose amid
universal cheering, but was. unhappily,
not able to utter a word. When she re
sumed her seat, alter a few words from
her husband in her behalf, the
chairman patted her on the shoulder to
encourage her and said: "Do try to say
a few words," but she could not muster
strength to do it. The contest at Liver
pool resulted in Lord Ramsay's defeat
by a small majority, and the expenses
of this unsuccessful canvass amounted
to over $60,000,n0t 1 eeatof which would
his Conservative father pay. lie was
elected from Liverpool in 1888. He re
mained but a short time, however, in
the house of commons, for, his father
dying the same year, he entered the
house of lords a- the Earl of Dalhousie.
• In -881 he received the order of the
Thistle from the queen, and in 1880 was
appointed by Mr. Gladstone as secretary
of state for Scotland in place of Sir
George Trevelyon. While be was on
the Britannia Lord Dalhousie married a
daughter of the Earl of Tankerville, by
whom he had three children. Lord
Dalhousie was in his younger days a
dashing sailor, and hen circumstances
changed his career he showed himself
to be possessed of great political wis
dom and sagacity, lie went around the
world twice and three times to Austra
lia, three times to New Zealand, and
once to India. China and Japan. He
came fairly by his love for the. sea. for
his father rase to the rank of an ad-
niiral by his abilities, and before suc
ceeding to his title was universally
known as '-.lock Ramsay.*'
DONNELLY'S CRYPTOGRAM.
Publication in liondon of* the
Papers ol' His Baconian Theory.
The Daily London Telegraph has
begun the publication of the material
in advocacy of the Donnelly theory.
The Telegraph, after reviewing the
preliminary article editorially, $_,- :
We shall have herein laid before the
literary and dramatic world a choice
between three alternatives- either the
pretended cryptogram, with its ex
traordinary variations and combina
tions, is a daring hoax which cannot
survive the appearance of the book; or.
the author, sincere and over-ingenious,
has violently forced an elaborate system
of his own manufacture upon the
text and deceived himself into
believing it to be genuine, and
the invention of Bacon; or, the
cipher really does lurk under the text
of the play of "Henry IV."' and per
haps under every play in the folio, with
the two-told consequence in that case
either that Bacon and not Shakespeare
wrote them or that Bacon, whose moral
ity was not spotless, inserted this amaz
ing narrative to steal away the glory
and renown of our immortal country
man. It will be for men of letters, for
students, actors, editors and readers of
Shakspeareaß dramas and poems to
form their own opinion upon these
points when they have pursued the
completed article and seen the volumes
which are to follow it. The attitude of
patriotic scepticism must be meanwhile
that which all Englishmen will assume,
for we do not know what blow could be
heavier, what disillusion more perturb
ing and subversive, than to admit that
William Shakspeare, who is so great an
element in the name ami fame of Eng
land, must descend from the hitherto
unapproachable eminence and yield his
secular crown and splendid intellectual
throne to Francis Bacon. . . .- :
Our Amii-ican kinsmen themselves,
who are devoted pilgrims at the shrine
of Stratford-on-Avon, would be as much
moved as ourselves at such a displace
ment.
For our own part, we will not yet be
lieve it to be so much as possible. The
very mistakes in those glorious plays, as
where Hector is made to talk of Aris
totle, were possible to Shakspeare, but
improbable for Bacon. A thousand sim
ilar arguments crowd upon the mind to
maintain the attribution of all ages, the
belief of the poet's contemporaries, the
firm faith of his fellow countrymen at
large. This assault upon Shakspeare s
reputation, however, appeared much too
serious and sustained to be left to casual
and ill-informed allusions. Itwasneces
sarv to acquaint the public and the
world of letters with what is forthcom
ing in the way of an audacious attack,
and on that account we have not hesi
tated to give full publicity to the chal
lenge of the American iconoclast.
KILLED HIS TWO SISTERS.
An Awful Accident Caused by a
Boy's Play With a Gun.
The following sad tale of the acci
dental shooting of two little girls, one
of whom died and the other, it is feared,
will not live, is reported from the little
village of Berwyn, in Pennsylvania:
The little home of Thomas I). Smedley
was brightened by the presence of two
daughters— Anna, aged twelve years,
and Oracle, aged four yews— a boy,
John, aged fifteen years. There is great
grief in this home now, as little Oracle
is dead and buried, and little Anna is
almost past hope of recovery. . *•
The story of this affliction is related
as follows: John Smedley, the son,
large for his age. was out gunning in
the neighboring country. Before night
tell he turned homeward and reached
the house about 4 o'clock. His father
and mother had both left home, leaving
noboiit at home but the two girls. Anna
and Gracie. When the boy entered the
little kitchen Anna was sitting on the
floor in a corner trying to solve a puzzle.
and Gracie stood watching with a child
ish curiosity. John sat on a chair
two or three yards away from the
little girls, with Grade near
est. He rested his gun. which was
loaded, against his leg a moment, when
the dog that had accompanied him on
the hunt leaped upon his lap. The gun
fell with the barrels pointing full to
ward the children. The hammers struck
the floor and the deadly discharge
tore through the bodies of the little
ones. The mouth of the gun barrel al
most touched Gracie in its fall, and tin
load of shot tore the fiesh of her right
leg near the thigh into shreds. Passing
on, a part of the discharge buried itself
in Anna's leg below the knee. John, ter
rified by the discharge and the sight of
the blood, ran away toward Berwin for
the doctor. On the way be told a neigh
bor of the calamity at the house. When
Mrs. Speakman. the neighbor, got to
the scene of the accident she met there
Thomas English, who. passing at the
time, had found that Anna, half out of
her mind, had crawled to the gate, ten
yards from the spot where she was
hurt, dragging her dying sister,
She only got as far as the gate, how
ever, for her strength gave out from the
loss of blco.l. Both children were car
ried back into the house. Little Oracle's
leg was held only by shreds of flesh,
and the physicians later on amputated
it. She died without speaking a word
after being shot.
The brother, John, was much cast
down by the awful accident.
"I don't know what happened or that
the girls said anything after they were
shot," said John. "1 didn't hear any
thing. 1 only heard the gun go off, and
?aw the blood flow on the floor. Father
always keeps the gun loaded in tin
house. lie made me promise to bring
it back loaded."
COMSTOCK OUTDONE.
A Young Woman in Rockford
Who Was Shocked by a Singer's
Sleeveless Dress.
During the last, two weeks the atten
tion of the citizens of Rockford, 111.,
has been called to a prominent young
woman— Miss Catharine Waugh— who
for three years has been a member of
Winnebago county bar. She is a grad
uate of I.ockford seminary, and at last
commencement was honored by her
alma mater with the degree of master
of arts. For several years Miss Waugh
has been an active member of the Young
Woman's Christian Temperance Union;
and has been an enthusiastic worker in
the Bands of Hope organized in this
city and immediate vicinity. Miss
Waugh has sought labor in other
fields also. Her best friends have often
thought that tin; young attorney was a
little extreme in her views. In general
they have ascribed this to the impetu
osity of youth and Insufficient study of
the questions she discusses. They
believed Miss Waugh would act more
wisely as her knowledge of public ques
tions increased. Thc£ were given a
surprise by her actions a recent Sunday
evening. Dr. Sutherland, the pastor of
the First Presbyterian church, had an
nounced that he would preach a sermon
in opposition to woman suffrage. Miss
Waugh procured copies of a sermon in
favor of giving the ballot to women.and
the evening in question, In-fore the ser
vices commenced, passed along the
church aisles and stood at the door dis
tributing this sermon and Peking those
to whom she gave copies to read the
other side.
Miss Waugh was one of the commit
tee on amusement of the Christian En
deavor society of the First Congrega
tional church. This committee made
arrangements with the Spanish students
to give an entertainment in the church,
which took place last week. One of the
women vocalists of the company made
her appearance attired in a sleeveless
.tress. Mis-- Waugh, who was in tin
audience, directly on the conclusion of
the song went behind the curtain. It
is not true, as has been reported, that
Miss Waugh insisted on the vocalist
putting on another dress: but she did
suggest that such a thing be done.
"The dress worn was not so bad," said
one in attendance, "and if the arms of
the singer had been pretty it would
have been better, but they were.hornd
lookidg and ought to have been
covered." Mis Waugh. however, was
innocent of any such idea, and was ac
tuated by her belief that bare arms
were out of place iii church.
There is still much talk over the mat
ter in the city, and some are disposed to
say unkind things of Miss Waugh.
SOME STKANGE ANTIPATHIES.
Things That "Some People Have
Fancied They Did Not I.ike —
Henry Hl.'s Dislike of fats.
laaaefi*- Family Magazine.
It seems absolutely incredible that
Peter the Great, the father of the Bus
sian navy, should shudder at the sight
of water, whether running or still, yet
so it was. especially when alone. His
palace gardens, beautiful as they were,
lie never entered, because the river
Mosera flowed through them. His
coachman had orders to avoid all roads
which led past streams, and 'compelled
to cross a brook or bridge the great em
peror would sit with closed windows in
a cold perspiration.
Another monarch, James 1., the En_r
lish Solomon, as he liked to be called,
bad many antipathies, chiefly tobacco,
ling and pork. He never overcame his
inability to look with composure at a
drawn sword; and it is said that on one
occasion, when giving the accolade, the
king turned his face aside, nearly
wounding the new-made knight.
Henry 111. of France had so great a
dislike to cats that he fainted at the
sight of one. We suppose that in this
case the cat lvad to waive its proverbial
prerogative and could not look at a king.
This will seem as absurd as extraordi
nary to lady lovers of that much petted
animal, but what are we to say of the
Countess of Lamballe, of unhappy his
tory, to whom a violet was a thing of
horror? Even this is not without its
precedent; for it is on record that Vin
cent, the painter, was seized with ver
tigo and swooned at the smell of roses.
Scaliger states that one of his relations
was made ill at the sight of a lily; and
he himself would turn pale at the sight
of water-cresses, and could never drink
milk.
Charles Kingsley. naturalist as he was
to the core, had a great horror of
spiders; and in "Ulaucus," after saying
THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 7, TWELVE PAGES.
that every one seems to have his anti
pathic animal, continues: "I know
one (himself) bred from his childhood to
zoology by land and sea, and bold in
asserting and honest in feeling that all
without exception-is beautiful, who yet
cannot, after handling and petting and
examining, all day long, every uncouth
and venomous beast, avoid a paroxysm
of horror at the sight of a common
house-spider."
The writer shares in this dislike to a
painful extent; in this case it Is inher
ited from his grandfather. The genial
author of the "Turkish Spy" said that
he would far prefer, sword in hand, to
face a lion in his desert lair than have
a spider crawl over him in the dark.
The cat, as we have previously men
tioned, has repeatedly been an object of
aversion. The Duke of Sehombeig. a
redoubtable soldier, could not sit in the
same room with a cat. A courtier of
the Emperor Ferdinand carried this dis
like so far as to bleed at the nose on
hearing a cat mew.
A well-known officer of her majesty's
army, who has proved his strength and
courage in more than one campaign,
turns pale at the sight of a cat. On one
occasion, when asked out to dinner, his
host, who was rather skeptical as to the
reality of this feeling, concealed a eat
in an ottoman in the dining room. Din
ner was announced and commenced.but
his guest was ill at ease, and at length
declared his inability to goon eating, as
he was sure there was a cat in the
room. An apparently thorough, but
unavailing search was made; but his
visitor was so completely upset that tin
host, with many apologies for his ex
periment, "let the cat out of the bag"*
and out of the ottoman at the same time.
Lord Lauderdale, on the other hand,
declared that the mewing of a cat was
to him sweeter than any music, while
he had the greatest dislike to the lute
and the bagpipe. In the latter aversion
he was by no means singular.
Dogs, too. have come in for their
shaie of dislike. De Musset cordially
detested them. When a candidate for
the Academy he called upon a promi
nent member. At the gate of the cha
teau a dirty, ugly dog received him most
affectionately, and insisted on preced
ing him into the drawing-room, De
Musset cursing his friend's predilection
for the brute. The academician entered
and they adjourned to the dining-room,
the dog at their heels. Seizing his op
portunity, the dog placed his muddy
paws upon the spotless cloth and car
ried off a bonne bottche. "The wretch
wants shooting.'* was De Mttsset's mut
tered thought, but he politely said:
"You are fond of dogs, I see?"
"Fond of dogs," retorted the acade
mician—"l hate them!"
"But this animal here," qnried De
Musset, "I have only tolerated it be
cause I thought it was yours, sir."
"Mine!" exclaimed the poet: "the
thought that it was yours alone kept me
from killing him
THE PRINTERS WILL FIGHT.
A Great Struggle to Take Place
Between Employers and Em
ployes at Chicago.
Chicago, Dec. 6.— The employing
printers of the city have issued an ulti
matum lo the compositors who have
lately been on a strike. Before they
will be employed they must sign a paper
renouncing all allegiance to Typograph
ical Union No. 10 and agree not to join
any other union or association unless
they give sixty days" notice to the em
ployers. The men so far have refused
to sign the agreement. In response to
a call of the union for a special meeting
to discuss the attitude of the employers,
some 700 union printers assembled to
night and unanimously resolved to fight
the typotheta- to the bitter end. Every
"chapel" in the city was represented,
including the newspaper offices. The
delegates of each reported their chapel
as willing to stand any assessment to
continue the contest. A committee of
fifteen was appointed to wait upon every
trade organization and every Knights of
Labor assembly in the city and solicit
moral and financial support. Measures
were taken to arrange an entertainment
for the benefit of the strikers, and a
movement was inaugurated to present
the case from a union standpoint to all
the labor papers throughout the coun
try and enlist the active help of the In
ternational Typographical union.
The Louisville Election.
Louisville, Ky., Dec. C— The mu
nicipal election held in this city to-day

BOHEMIAN OATS.
Missouri Farmers Trying to Find
Out if They Have been Swindled.
St. Louis, Dec. 6.— The Southwestern
grain and seed company, doing business
for the past two years at Springfield,
Mo., are accused of obtaining money
under false pretenses, and are being
prosecuted under the act. They are
charged with the famous Bohemian oats
swindle that was so successfully prac
ticed in Ohio two years ago. The
swindle consists in selling ten bushels
of oats at $15 per bushel to a well
known farmer, taking his note payable
at the time of harvest of his first crop,
and making a contract with him to buy
all the oats he raises at 10 per bushel.
The first year this contract is carried
out faithfully, and the honest farmer is
made the tool, and his neighbors are led
to the slaughter. They buy the oats
under similar contracts, giving their
notes, which are easily discounted.
The Bohemian company have
been established at least a year and
appear to be reliable, but by the time
the contracts of the second year mature
the company has migrated. It is esti
mated that they sold $100,000 worth of
seed in Green and adjoining counties in
Missouri, and one Springfield bank
holds $17,000 of the farmers' notes. Hon.
H. (". Mullings, a well-known farmer
of Green county, attempted to warn his
neighbor by an open letter to the local
papers, and was immediately answered
by twenty equally well known farmers
who declared that there was no swindle.
The Bohemian company appeared to
have the advantage, but Mullings con
tinued to peg away, and John S. Ben
nett, a farmer, was yesterday arrested
on an indictment found by the grand
jury. The oflicers of the company left
the city some time ago, and it is be
lieved that they have been indicted.
The officers are J. T. Stoner, of Grand
Island, Neb., and S. S. Cox, of Bryan, O.
ANOTHER BIG SCHEME.
The Union Pacific and Milwaukee
to Interchange Through Busi
ness.
Within a day or two the important
fact has come to the surface in railroad
circles that negotiations are in progress
between the Union Pacific and the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul roads look
ing to the formation of a traffic con
tract between the Kansas Pacific line of
the former and the Kansas City exten
sion of the latter. Of course the pur
pose the two roads have in view is an
interchange of through business be
tween Chicago and the points west of
the Missouri river, reached by the Kan
sas Pacific road, It was at first reported
that the arrangement was to include the
Omaha line of the St. Paul and the
Union Pacific main line. This, how
ever, was found to be incorrect, lt is
well known that General Manager Pot
ter, of the Union Pacific, has been for
some time determined to break
through the harrier erected by the
associated lines at the Missouri river.
The extension of the Milwaukee & St.
Paul line to Kansas City, and the open
ing of that line to freight traffic seems
to give Mr. Potter the very opportunity
that he has wanted. A traffic arrange
ment with the Kansas Pacific would be
an excellent thing. It is not yet con
summated, but it looks as though it
might be. The St. Paul line is not an
association road and therefore there is
nothing to prevent it from entering into
such an arrangement with the Kansas
Pacific. Should this be done it would
give the St.Paul road a monopoly of
the business coming off the Kansas
Pacific, lt is not at all improbable,
however, that rather than have this
occur, the association roads will make
satisfactory arrangements with the
Union Pacific.
Yard Men Strike.
Dayton, ()., Dec. 6.— Freight busi
ness is paralyzed to-night by a strike of
all the yard men in this city except the
New York. Pennsylvania _. Ohio. The
strike is for an advance in wages, the
same as paid in Cincinnati yards.

Mr. Farrington. claim clerk in the Northern

There is to be no change at present of the
Milwaukee it St. Paul shops from Dubuque.
At the meeting of the general passenger
and ticket agents of the lines In the Western

that full first-class fare be charged for the

infants, over their lines.
MASSACHUSETTS ELECTIONS.
Municipal Contests Which Turned
Mainly on the Liquor Issue.
Boston, Dec. o.— Elections were held
in seventeen cities of Massachusetts to

Chicago, Dec. c— John Steller, a
night watchman, was returning home
at an early hour yesterday he' was met
at the gate by a strange looking animal
that he took to be a dog. Not being
the possessor of a canine, and not being
desirous of making any such accession
to his household at present, he seized a
well developed club that happened to
be convenient and hurled it at the new
comer's head. The animal disappeared
and Mr. Steller entered his house, only
to be called out shortly after by the cry
of "Wolf."' The animal that had met
Mr. Steller at the gate had returned to
his doorstep. A lively chase ensued and
resulted in the capture of the wolf. He
was a young one, darkgray,with shaggy
hair and alert ears. His appetite. which
is his distinguishing characteristic, is
something remarkable. Not being sat
isfied with the blood of a cow, he "intro
duced an incision into Mr. Steller and
drank briefly of that gentleman's life
current, but was finally secured with a
chain.

nies. Mayor Howland has strenuously
opposed giving the contract to the Peer

on account of alleged actions Of ii.

in council last night about tne matter,
the mayor laid before the council docu
ments apparently showing that Mcllroy
had bribed aldermen, political wire
pullers and others from 1880 down to
the beginning of 1886. This resulted in
Mcllroy's tender being thrown out and
the tender of the Baker Hose company
being accepted. | __
GOING TO THE PACIFIC.
Cleveland Will Take a Trip to the
*'.~ ''X, Golden Gate.
Special to the Globe.
' Washington, Dec. 6.— When any
one outdoes Grover Cleveland as a poli
tician he may catch a weasel asleep.
He never gets left; and those politicians
who have been going on the supposition
that Cleveland is not versed in affairs
may as well take a reef in their ears
and let go the jib of their intellects. It
is ascertained that the statement con
cerning the coming of James G. Blame
in June next is true. He will come
careering across the country from San
Francisco, playing the Grant act of 1880.
There can lie no doubt that the Maine
statesman will have an ovation wher
ever he can be seen. That may as well
be conceded at first. He is a great man,
and popular with his party. But no
man can ever become so great in this
country as a living president. Sen
ator Sumner, Senator Clay, Sen
ator Conkling and other great
men have tried conclusions with
presidents and they were worsted.
Well, to be brief, just after the Blame
procession concludes its eastward tri
umphal march; just after his strength
and foi cc have spent themselves, the
people of the country will be visited by
Grover Cleveland, president of the
United States. He was unable to find
time to visit the Pacific slope last year.
But he has promised his friends to come
to see them next year. Just after the
people have taken a last look at the
great Republican aspirant for the presi
dency the special train of Grover Cleve
land will steam out of the depot here at
Washington, and it will go over the
Northern Pacific to Puget sound:
thence down the coast to 'Frisco, and
eastward over the route previously trav
ersed by Mr. Blame. And the people
will say: "You have reserved the best
wine until the last of the feast." They
will most speedily forget that there was
a Blame, and they will see that there is
a Cleveland.

BLACK WOLF !
! Or Black Leprosy, is a disease which Is con*
j sidered incurable, but it has yielded to the cura
tlve properties of Swift's Specific— now known
j all over the world as S. S. S. Mrs. Bailey, of West
I Somerville, -lass., near Boston, was attacked
I several Tears ago with this hideous black erup
[ tion, and was treated by the best medical talent,
who could only say that the disease was a
species of
; LEPROSY —
: and consequently incurable. It is impossible to
describe hersufferings. Her body from the crown
of her head to the soles of her feet was a mass of
decay, masses of flesh rotting off and leaving
great cavities. Her fingers festered and three or
four nails dropped off at one time. Her limbs
contracted by the fearful ulceration, and for
several years she did not leave her bed. Her
! weight was reduced from 125 to 60 lbs. Perhaps
.some faint idea of her condition can be gleaned
from the fact that three pounds of Cosmollne or
; ointment were used per week in dressing her
sores Finally the physicians acknowledged
their defeat by this Black Wolf, and commended
the sufferer to -all- wise Creator. ■
Her husband hearing wonderful reports of the
use of Swift's Specific (S. S. S.), prevailed on her
■ V> try it as a last resort. - She began Its use under
protest, but soon found that hersystem was beiug
{ relieved of the poison, as the sores assumed a red
; and healthy color, as though the blood was be
coming pure and active. Mrs. Bailey continued
! the S. S. S. until last February ; every sore was
j healed ; she discarded chair and crutches, and
was for the first time In twelve years a well
i woman.' Her husband. Mr. C. A. BaHey, Is in
I business at IT*. Blackstone Street, Boston, and
I will take pleasure iv giving the details of this
| wonderful cure. Send to u» for Treatise on Blood
