Without Knife or Fire.
Mr. S. E. Carmichael, a prominent
citizen of Henrietta, Texas, writes :
"I wish to tell you what Swift's
Specific has done for my wife. Sev
eral years ago there appeared a
splotch on the corner of her nose
which gradually increased in size,
and became quite painful ; on wash
ing her face it would frequently
bleed. The doctors called it cancer,
and advised that it be removed by
the knife or burning, stating that it
never would do to neglect it. My
wife refused to have it cut or burned,
but at the same time it continued to
grow worse. After a time she com
menced taking S. S. S., which effect
ed an entire cure. She used a half
dozen small sized bottles. We both
think there is no medicine in the
world that will equal Swift's Speci
fic, and we would like for all suffer
ers to know the benefit she has re
ceived from it."

character by forcing out the poison

The Soma Plant.
In the Aryan religion the chief
offering to the gods was the foment
ed juice of the Soma or Moon plant,
which, being a strong drink, gave
new excitement to those who partook
of it, and was believed to impart
power to the gods. It was believed,
moreover, that it wrought miracles,
and for this reason, perhaps, it after
wards became the chief god of the
Hindus. In a vedic hymn the wor
shiper says :
"We've (juafted the Soma bright,
And are immortal grown ;
We've entereed into light,
And all the gods have known.
What mortal now can harm,
Or foeman vex us more ?
Through thee beyond alarm,
Immortal God! we soar."
No such power as this is attributed
to any plant at the present time, and
yet many of the cures performed by
S. S. S., a purely vegetable remedy,
seem almost to border on the mira
culous. In contagious blood poison
scrofula, skin diseases, some forms
of cancer, etc., it is the remedy par
excellence.
