Correspondence Spirit Of the Times.)
An unusual adventure which recently oc-
Cured to your correspondent while hunt
ing at Brookmere In this state is 80 timely and
contains SO much that can be made valuable
10 all readers, that venture to reproduce 1t
entire;
The day was most inclement one and the
snow quite deep. Rabbit tracks were plentiful,
but they principally led in the direction Of q
large swamp. in which the rabbits could run
without difficulty, but where the hunter con-
stantly broke through the thin ice, sinking in
TO the half-froZen mire to his knees NotwIth-
standing these difficulties, the writer had per-
severed, although very small bag ofgame was
the result. While trsmping about through q
particularly malarial portion Of the swamp, q
middle aged man suddenly came into view.
carrying muzzle loading shot gun and COM
pietely loaded down with game Of the finest
description. Natural curiosity aside from the in
voluntary envy that instnctIvey srose, prompt
ed the writer to enter into conversation with
the man, with the following result:
~ ou've had fine success, where did you get
all that gamer"
fright here in the swamp"
''lts pretty rough hunting in these parts, es-
peclaily when man goes up to his waist every
other STEP"
Eyes, it's not very pleasant, but 1 am used
to 1t and don't mind it."
How long have you hunted hereabouts?"
why. bless you, have7lived here most Of
my life and hunted up to ten years ago every
year"
SHOW does tihappen you omitted the last
ten years2"
because 1 was enable to move, much less
hunt"
81 don't understand you"
''Well, you sec, about ten years ago. after
had been trampi al onnd all day in this same
swamp, l felt quite pain IN my ankle. /
didn't mind 1t very much, but it kept troubling
me for day or two, and I could see that It
kept increasing. The next thing knew, l felt
the same KIND Of pain in my shoulder and
found 1t panied me to move my arm. This thing
kept going on and increasing, and though /
tried to shake off the feeling AMI make myself
think 1t WAS only little temporary trouble,
found that it did not go. Shortly after this
my joints began to ache at the knees and fin
ally became so bad that had to remain in the
house most Of the time"
''And did you trace all this to the fact that
you had hunted so much in this swamp"
"No, l didn't know what to lay it to- but
unew that was in misery. My FONTS swelled
until 1t seemed as though all the flesh had
left was punched at the joints; nv. fingers
crooked in every way and some Of them became
double-j olnted. In fact, every joint in my body
seemed to vie with the olners to see which
could become the largest and cause me the
greatest suffering. In this way several wears
passed on, during which time / Was pretty
nearly HOPELESS. / became 50 nervous and
sensitive that I would sit bolstered I'D in the
chair and call to people that entered the room
not to come near me, or even touch my chair
While ali this was going on, | 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 nv
brain to be on fire."

TRY, should think did try. / tried every
doctor that came within my reach and all the
proprietary medicines could hear Of. / used
washes and liniments enough to last me for
all time, but the only relief received was by
| injections OF morphine"
'.Wen, you talk IN a very strange manner
for man, who has tramped around on day
like this and in a swamp Ike this. How in the
world do you dare to do 1t p
"Because sm completely well and as sound
as dollar. 1t may seem strange, but it Is
true that | was entirely cured; the rheumatism
all driven out of my blood; my joints reduced
to their natural size and my strength made as
great as ever before, by means OF that great
aud simple remedy. Warmers Safe Rheumatic
Cure, which / believe saved my life"
''And so you now have no fear Of Iheuma-
tism"
''Why, no, even il il should come on. I can
easily get rid Of it by using the same remedy"
! The writer turned to leave, as it was grow

| precisely the same symptoms had just heard

| Impressed with the hunters story, I tried the
same remedy, and within OF twenty four hours
all the pain and Inflammation had disappeared.
| If any reader is suffering from any manner OF
rheumatic or neuralgic troubles aud desire re

remedy. Aud if any readers doubt the truth
of above incident or Its statements let then
