Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. }

To any one who has studied the laws
of life, and especially those which re-
late 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 of equal prominence, are facts
which all acknowledge, but which mono
can understand. The father may be
distinguished. the son, an imbecile;or,
the parent may be decrepit and un-
| known, and the child achieve the'highest
place possible to humanity. But through
it all, there will be certain characters
| tics which mark the individual as de-
scending from certain ancestors. Too
often, indeed. these characteristics are
infrmities, and often of a physical ma
ture,
These facts were strikingly brought
out during conversation, which rep
resentative of this paper recently had
with Mrs. Carrie ID. Il. Swift, who is the
| wife of one of our most prominent citi-
zens. This lady related that she in
herited from her parent certain ten
denotes, over which she had no control,
and which were in the nature of blood
difficulties, assuming the form of rheu
matism. Her experience can best be
| described in her own words. To the
writer she said:
IL felt the beginning of this heredi.
tarv faint macy years ago, in vague
pains, which seemed to come unac-
countably and at uncalled for times.
They were annoying, exhausting, and
interfered not only with my 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
mouth. Afterwards, my feet and hands
swelled so that it was impossible for me
to draw on my shoes or gloves without
the greatest effort. l realized what the
difficulty was but seemed powerless to
avert it. finally became so bad that
| was confined to the house and to my
bed most of the time My joints panied
me continuously and my feet swelled to
enormous proportions. Knowing that
inherited this tendency, had about
abandoned hope, when began the use
OF a remedy, which was recommended
10 me by friend as being specially eff
cient in cases of similar kind. To
my great gratitude, found that it re-
lieved me, restored my appetite, aud l
am able to say that now l have gained
forty pounds in weight, feel perfectly
well and am in the best possible condi-
ton, owing, wholly, to Warmers Safe
Rheumatic cure, which was the remedy
used"
mo 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 l had not seen for some
time, hcsitated, before speaking, and
apologized by saying, why, l really
did not know you, you have changed so
for the Letter since last met you, how
we'll you do look.
Have you any objection to giving
the name of the party who first men,
toned the remedy to you?"
mot Inc slightest. 1t was Mr.. K. II.
Furman, the photographer"
The newspaper man, after bidding
Mrs. Swift goodbye, repaired to the
Photographic rooms of Mr.. Furman,
when the following conversation en-
sued:
Have you been a sufferer from
rheumatism, Mr.. Furman?"
"Well, should think l had"
"For how many years?"
Twelve or fifteen"
"Did you try to cure itp"
Yes, 1 tried, everything, and, at last
went to the Hot Springs of Arkansas,
and nothing seemed to do me any good
until tried Warmers Safe Rheumatic
Cure. -
"And it cured you, did it?"
Eyes. completely"
And you can cordially recommend
itp"
Eyes, indeed, more cordially than
anything have ever know of. 1t is
simply wonderful medicine. | believe
that two-thirds of all cases, both acute
and chronic, could be cured rs | was
cured by the use of this remedy, In fact
i know a number of persons who have
been in the worst possible condition, and
are now completely well wholly through
its USE"
The statements above made are from
sources, the authority of which cannot
be 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.
