To any one who has studied the laws of |
life. and especially those which relate to /
reproduction. an 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 r. equal promi- !
nence. are facts which ali acknowledge,
but which none can understand. The IA
ther NAV be disting uished-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. Too
often, indeed, these characteristics are in
firmities, and often of a physical nature.
These facts were strikingly brought out
during a conversation, which representa-
tive Of this paper recently had with Mrs.
Carrie d. r. Swift who is the wife of one
of our most prominent citizens. This lady
related that she Inherited from her parents
certain tendencies, over which she had no
control. and which were in the nature of
blood Difficult les, assuming the form of
rheumatism. Her experience can best be
described in her own words. To the writer
she said:
al felt the beginning of this hereditary
faint many years ago, in vague pains,
which seemed
at uncalled for times. They were annoy
ing, exhausting, aud interfered not only
with nv duties, but also totally destroyed
my happiness. At first, they would be
only transient, appearing for a day or two,
and then disappearing; then again they
would come in such violent forms, that it
was impossibls for me to lift cup to my
mouth. Afterwards, my feet and hands

when l began the use OF remedy, which

forty pounds in weight, feel perfectly well
and am in the best possible condition, ow-

cure, which was the remedy ! used"
"No one would ever suspect you had
suffered so, Mrs. Swift, to see you now,"
| remarked the reporter.
THAT is what all my friends say. Only
Yesterday, an acquaintance of mine, whom
| had not seen for some time, hesitaUed, be-
| fore speaking, and apologlzed by saying:
why, really did not know you, you have
changed so for the better since l last met
you, how well you do look"
"Have you any objection to giving the
name of the party who first mentioned this
remedy to your
mot the slightest 1t was Mr.. r. "a.
| Furman, the photographer"
The newspaper man, after bidding Mrs.
| Swift goodbye, repaired to the photo
graphic rooms of Mr.. Furman, when the
following conversation ensued:
Have you been sufferer from rheuma-
tism, Mr.. Furmanr'
''Well, 1 should tysiuF ! bad"
"For how many yearsp'

eyes, tried everything, and, at last,
vent to the Hot Springs of Arkansas, and
nothing seemed to do me any good until

"And you can cordially recommend itT
"Yes, indeed, more cordially than any
thing | have ever known of. 1t is simply
a wonderful 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 a number OF
persons who have been in the worst posi-
BILE condition, and are now completely wei
wholly through its use."
The statements above made are from
sources, the authority of which can not be
questioned. They conclusively prove tbs
value of the preparation named and show
that even hereditary traits can be removed
by the use of the proper means.
