Stacy of the Gaffney National Bank, was traveling in Ala bama and Georgia last week on busi ness. While en route between Mont gomery and Atlanta the train was wrecked. The engine and tender jumped the track and tore up the cross-ties for a considerable distance.

No Torture Equal to tho Itching and Burning of This Fearful Disease. Not much attention is often paid to tho first symptom* of Eczema, but it is not long before the little redness begins to itch and burn. This is but the beginniug, and will lead to suffering and torture almost unen durable. It is a common mistake to regard a roughness and redness of the skin as merely a local irritation; it is but an iudica- .... . , . ^ on a in the blood—of terrible Eczema which is more than skin-deep, and can not be reached by local appli cations of ointments, salves, etc., applied to the surface. The disease itself, the real cause of the trouble, is in the blood, although all suffering is produced through the skin; the only way to reach the disease, therefore, is through the blood. . ^ Mr. Phil T. Jones, of Mixersville, Ind., writes: “I had Eczema thirty years, and after a great deal of treatment my leg was so raw and sore that it gave mo constant pain. It finally broke into a running *ore, and began to spread and grow worse. For the past five or six years I have suffered untold agony and had given up all hope of ever being free from the disease, as I have been treated by some of the best physicians and have taken many blood medicines, all in vain. With little faith left I began to taka S. 8. S., and it apparently made the Eczema worse, but I knew that this was tho way the remedy got rid of the poison. Continuing 8. 8. 8., the sore healed up entirely, the skin became clear and smooth, and I was cured perfectly.” Eczema is an obstinate disease and can not be cured by a remedy which is only a tonic. Swift’s Specific— S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD -—is superior to other blood remedies because it cures diseases which they can not reach. It goes to the bottom—to the cause of the disease—and will cure the worst case of Eczema, no matter what other treatment has failed. It is the only blood remedy guaranteed to be free from potash, mercury or any other mineral, and never fails to cure Eczema, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, Cancer, Tetter, Rheumatism, Open Sores, Ulcers, Boils, etc. Insist upon 8. 8. S.; nothing can take its place. 9 Books on these diseases will be mailed free to any address by Swift Spe cific Company, Atlanta, Georgia. The Boston Store! In the Lead for Bargains.
