'fy THE LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., DECEMBER L5, 1808 7 A Shattered Nervous System. , CONGLOMERATED CHEROKEE PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. FINALLY HEART TROUBLE. Restored to Health by Dr. Miles* Nervine. iU M R. EDWARD HARDY, the Jolly man ager of Sheppard Co’s, great store at Hraceville. 111., writes: “I had never been sick a day in my life until in 1890. I got so bad with nervous prostration that I had to give up and commence to doctor. I tried our local physicians and one in Joliet, but none gave me any relief and I thought I was going to die. I became despondent and suffered untold agony. I could not eat, sleep nor rest, and it seemed as if I could not exist. At the end of six months I was reduced to but a shadow of myself, and at last my heart became affected and I was truly miserable. I took six or eight bottles of Dr. Miles’ Nervine. It gave mo relief from the start, and at last a cure, the great est blessing of my life.” | Dr. Miles' Remedies are sold by all drug gists under a positive guarantee, first bottle benefits or money re funded.

If you would forever be rid of the aches and pains, and some times the tortures produced by Rheumatism, you must take the right remedy. Those who con tinue to sufifer are relying upon remedies which do not reach their trouble. The doctor’s treatment 1 always consists of potash and mercury, which only intensify the disease, causing the joints to stili en and the bones to ache, besides I seriously impairing the digestive organs. Rheumatism is a disordered state of the blood, and the only cure for it is a real blood remedy. Swift’s Specific (S. S. N. ) goes down to the very bottom of all diseases of the blood, and promptly cures cases that other remedies can not reach. Mr. E. K. f>. Clinkenbeard, n promi nent attorney of Alt. Sterling, Ky., writes: “Two years ago I was a great sufferer from Rheumatism. I had tried every i remedy I could hear of except 8. 8. S. ! I had been to Hot Springs, Ark., where I remained for twelve weeks under treatment, but I experienced no perma nent relief, and returned home, be lieving that I would be u sufferer as long as I lived. At a time when my pains were almost unbearable, I chanced to read your advertisement and was impressed with it so much that I decided to try S. 8. S. I took, eleven bottles and was entirely relieved of all pain and cured permanently. When I began to take S. 8. S. I was unable to sit or stand with any ease, and could not sleep. .Since taking the last dose I have had no return of tho Rheumatism, and I take great pleas ure in recommending S. 8. 8 to any one who has the misfortune to suffer with this disabling disease.” S.S.S. is the only cure for Rheu matism, which is the most stubborn of blood diseases. It is not intended to give relief only, / x’ "gj ^ but l»y completely v ' j neutralizing the v^jacid condition ©1’ ^the blood it forces /P^out every trace of the disease and rids the system of it forever.

S. ia the only blood remedy guaranteed to be absolutely free from m neral mixtures. Books sent free by Swift Spe cific Company, Atlanta, Ga. T. A Slocum, the Great Chemist and Scientist, Will Send to Sufferers, Three Free Bottles of His Newly Discovered .

The least thing may turn the scales iu your favor or it may turn against you. Doubtless physicians have hundreds of times proscribed the right medicine, hut being compounded by a druggist who lias no regard for the compati bility of drugs, or does not know, the effects of such medicine were not satisfactory to either physician or patient. The scales were turned against you for lack of skill of the druggist. Wc* have in our employ the only graduat'* in pharmacy and liconned druggist in the city, and we a-k your patronage on merit.
