10 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
Oh certain physical traits Of equal promi.
nence, are facts which all acknowledge,
put which none can understand. The IA
eher may be distinguished-the son, an
lmhecile; or, the parent may be decrepit
ana snknown, and the child achieve the
nighest place possible to humanity. But
terlstics, which mark the individual as de.
scendlng from certain ancestors. Too
often, indeed, these characteristics are in
nrmltles, and often of a physical nature.
These facts were strikingly brought out

Carrie d. I. 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 difficulties, assuming the form of
.uSuLldulSlI. llcT experience can OeSU %
described in her own words. To the writer
she said:
felt the beginning of this hereditary
liant am many years ago, in vague pains,
which seemed to come ~unaccountably and
at uncalled for times. They were annoy.
ing, ~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 ortwo,
and then Disappearing; then again they
would come in u violent forms, that it
was impossible for me to lift a cup to my
mouth. Afterwards. my feet and hands
swelled 80 that it was impossible for me to
draw on my shoes or gloves without the
greatest effort. l realized what the diff
Guilty was, but seemed powerless to avert
it. l finally became so bad that l was con-
fined to the house and to my bed most of
the time. My joints panied me continuous.
ly and my feet swelled to enormous pro.
portions. Knowing that I inherited this
tendency, l had about abandoned hope,
when l began the use of a remedy, which
was recommended to me as q friend as be.
ing specially efficient in cases of a similar
kind. 10 my great gratitude, l found that
it relieved me, restored my appetite, and
am able to say that now 1 have gained
forty pounds in weight, feel perfectly well
and All in the best possible condition, ow.
ing, wholly, to Warmers Safe Rheumatic
cure. which was the remedy I used"
INC 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, hesitated, be
fore speaking, and apologized by saying
why, l really did not know you, you have
changed so for the better since l last me-
you, how we'll you do look"
"Have you any objection to giving the
Vnoron of fbn ~ ort1y ,,,l,o Er,% ,ro,<.o-1 %ls
remedy to youW
Not the slightest. It was Mr.. R. II
Furman, the photographer"
The newspaper man, after bidding Mrs
Swift goodbye, repaired to the photo
graphic rooms of Mr.. Furman, when tn,
following conversation ensued:
"Have you been a sufferer from rheuma
tism, MIR. Furmanw
swell, l should think I had"
"For how many years!"
"Twelve or fifteen"
"Did you try to cure itw
eyes, l tried everything, and, at last
went to the Hot Springs of Arkansas, an
tried Warmers Safe Rheumatic Cure"
"And it cured you, did itT"
Eyes, completely"
"And you can cordially recommend it?
"Yes. indeed, more cordially h any
thing l have ever known of. 1t is simpl

thirds of all cases, both acute and chronic
could be cured as I was cured by the use {
this remedy. In fact 1 know a number {
persons who have been in the worst poss

wholly through its USE"
The statements above made are frol
sources, the authority of which can not b
questioned. They conclusively prove tn
value of the preparation named and sho,
that even hereditary traits can be remove
by the use of the proper means.
