Scrofula to
Consumption.
Any one predisposed to Scrofula can
never be healthy and vigorous. This
taint in tbe blood naturally drifts into
Consumption. Being such a deep-seated
blood disease, Swift's Specific is the
only known cure for Scrofula, because
it is the only remedy which can reach
the disease. ,
Scrofula appeared on the head of my little
after breaking out it spread rapidly all over
off on the slightest touch, and the odor that
would arise maae me at
mosphere of the room
sickening and unbearable.
The disease next attacked
. the eyes, and we feared she
would lose her sight. Em

surrounding country were

then that -we decided to try Swift's Specific
That medicine at once made a speedy and com
plete cure. She is now a young lady, and has
never had a sign of the disease to return.

SOME RASH VOWS.
IBfforta to Keep Them Have Led ts
Insanity and Death.
If there is no limit to human folly,
there is equally no limit to human per
Terseness, and many of the vows that
rash people make are as foolish as they
are perverse.
The most recent of these foolish mak
ers of vows is a native of Brussels who
has sworn that he will make a tour of
the world walking backward. It is to
be hoped that his fate will be happier
than that of the man who swore that he
would never rest until he could walk on
the ceiling like a fly, and who lost his
reason without gaining his wish.
There was "method in the madness" of
the great French painter, Ziem, who
vowed that he would never leave his
stud,o until a certain important picture
was finished. He gave instructions that
he should be locked in his studio and
that the door should not be opened under
any conditions, his meals to be handed
to him through a hole in the door. Thus
he worked for Months during the crisis
that ended in Napoleon's famous coup
d'etat and his accession to the throne,
of which Ziem knew nothing until hi.s
picture was completed and his door un
locked. Another French artist, Gericauld, was
equally determined to allow no distrac
tionto interfere with the painting, of hij.
great picture, "The . Wreck of the Me
dusa." He had his head shaved and
vowed that he would never allow his hair
to grow until his work was done. This
vow he religiously kept in spite of strong
temptation to break it, and the reward
of his heroism was the most perfect
painting of his life.
A story is told of a great chess enthu
siast who was so annoyed at his failure
to solve an apparently simple problem
that he vowed he would neither sleep nor
eat until the solution was found. He
chut himself up in a disused room and
was found four days later by his relatives
terribly emaciated and out of his mind.
He spent a year in a lunatic asylum as
the result of his rash vow, and the prob
lem remains unsolved
Woman appears to be at the root of
many of these eccentric vows; for it was
a hatred of the sex that impelled a once
well known lawyer to swear that he
would never speak to a woman again as
long as he lived. Nothing would induce
him to see a lady client, and he would
never conduct a case in which a woman
appeared as a witness. He never em
ployed a female servant and deliberately
"cut" all his lady acquaintances. The
inevitable result was that the men de
serted him, his practice dwindled and he
died, alone and unattended, in a squalid
attic room. Cincinnati Enquirer.
