President F. G. 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.
Mr. Stacy was asleep when the acci
dent occurred and he slept so soundly
that he was not awakened, therefore
knew nothing of the wreck until it
was all over.

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.
