An unusual adventure which recently
occurred to your correspondents while hunt.
ing at Brookmere in this State is so timely
and contains so much that can be made
valuable to all readers, that / venture to
reproduce it entire:
The day was a most inclement one and
the snow quite deep. Rabbit tracks were
plentiful, but they principally led in the
rabbits could run without difficulty, but
where the hunter constantly broke through
the thin ice, sinking into the half-frozen
mire to his knees. Notwithstanding these
though a very small bag of game was the
result. While tramping about through a
particularly malarial portion ofthe swamp,
a middle aged man suddenly came into
view carrying a muZzle loading shotgun
and completely loaded down with game of
the finest description. Natural curiosity,
aside from the involuntary envy that in
stinctively arose, prompted the writer to
enter into conversation with the man, with
the following result:

er I had been tramping around all day in
this same swamp, I felt quite a pain in my
ankle. I didn't mind it very much, but it
kept troubling me for a day or two, and I
could see that it kept increasing. The next
thing I knew, 1 felt the same kind of a pain
in my shoulder and I found it panied me
to move my arm. This thing kept going
on and increasing, and though I triedeto
shake off the feeling and make myself think
it was only a little temporary trouble, 1
found that it did not go. Shortly after this
my joints began to ache at the knees and I
finally became SO bad hat I had to remain
in the house most of the time"
"And did youtrace all this to the fact that
you had hunted so much in this swamp"

swelled until it seemed as though all the
flesh I had left was punched at the joints;

during which time l was pretty nearly
helpless. 1 became so nervous and sensf-

chair and call to people that entered the
room not to come near me, or even touch
my chair. While all this was going on, I
felt an awful burning heat and fever, with
occasional chills running all over my body,
but especially along my back and through
my shoulders. Then again my blood seemed
to be boiling and my brain to be on fire"

"Try, I should think I did try. I tried
every doctor that came within my reach

hear of. I used washes and liniments
enough to last me for all time, but the only
relief l received was by injections of NOR

How in the world do you dare to do it?"
Because l am completely well and as

rheumatism all driven out of my blood; my
joints reduced to their natural size and my
strength made as great as ever before, by

"Why, no. Even if it should come on,

growing dark, but before I hadreache the

just heard described came upon me with
