To any one who has studied the laws OF
life, and especially those which relate to
reproduction, on experience such as we
are about to relate will come with special
force and interest. The transmission of
certain mental traits of prominence, and
of certain physical traits of equal promi-
nence, are facts which all acknowledge,
but which none can understand. The Ia
Their may be distnguished-the son, an
imbecile; or, the parent may be decrepit
and unknown, and the child achieve the
highest place possible to humanity. But
through it all, there will be certain charac-
teristIcs, which mark the Individual as de-
scending from certain ancestors. 100
often, indeed, these characteristics are IN
drmitics, and often of a physical nature.
These facts were strikingly brought out
during a convers alton, which representa-
tive of this paper recently had with MIS-.
Carrie ID. +. Swift, who is the wife OF one
of our most prominent citizens. This lady
relate that she Inherited from her parents
certain tendencies, over which she had no
control, and which were in the nature OF
/ lDod Difficult les, assuming the form or
rheumatism. Her experience can best be
described in her own words. To the writer
she said:
Al felt tho beginning of this hereditary
faint many years ago, i'll vague pains,
which seemed to come unacCountabiy and
ct uncalled for times. They were annoy
ing, exhausting, and n'erfered not only
with my duties, but also totally destroyed
my happiness. At first, they would lie
only transient, appearing for day ortwo,
and then disappearing; then again they
would come in such violent forms, that II
was impossible for me to lift cup to my
mouth. Afterwards. my feet and hands
swclled so that it was impossible Tor me to
draw on my shoes or gloves without the
greatest effort. | r, allied what the diff.
Cuity was, but seemed powerlesS to avert
if. | finally lecame so bad that was con-
fined to the house and to my bed most of
the time. NY joints panied me continuous
ly and my fees swelled to enormous pro-
portions. Knowing that | inherited this
tendency, / had about abaudOred hope,
when | began the use of remedy, which
was recommended to me as n friend As be-
ing specially efficient in cases of similar
kind. To my great gratitude, found that
it relieved me, restored my appetite, and |
am able to say that now | have gained
forty pounds in weight, feel perfectly w ii
| and am in the best possible condition, ow-
| ing, wholly, TO Warmers Safe Rheumatic
cure, which was the remedy l used"
"No one would ever suspect you had
suffered 80, Mrs. Swift, to see you now,"
| remarked the reporter.
"Ihas is what all my friends say. Only
yes erday, an acquaintance of mine, whom
i had not Sc en- for some time, heSltaUcu, be-
| fore speaking, and apologized by saying:
why, rea !ly did not know you, you have
| changed so for the better since l last mot
you, how we'll you do look"
Have you any objection to giving the
name of the party who first mentioned this
! remedy to you:"
Not the slightest. 1t was Mr.. II. IL.
| Furman, the photographers"
The newspaper man, after bidding Mrs.
| Swift goodbye, repaired to the photo
| graphic rooms of M. Furman, when the
| following conversation ensued:
Have you been a sufferer from rheuma-
tism, MIR. Furman!"
"Well, l should think had"
&C. For how many years"
"Twolye or fifteen"
"Did you try to cure it?"
ayes, tried everything, and, at last,
| went TO the Hot Springs of Arkansas, and
nothing seemed to do me any good until l
tried Warmers Safe Rheumatic Cure"
"And it cured you, did it!"
ayes, completely"
"And you can cordially recommend |"
"Yes, indeed, more col daily than any
| thing have ever known of. It is simply
| q wonder .ul medicine. / believe that two
| thirds of all cases, both acute and chronic,
| could be cured as / was cured by the use of
| this remedy. In fact | know number OF
| persons who have been in the worst posi-
| bic condition, and are now completely well
| wholly through its use"
| The statements above made are from
| sources, the authority Of which can not he
| questioned. They concluSively prove the
| value of the preparation named and show
| that even hereditary traits can be removed
by the use of the proper means.
