and the Happiness of All.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.l
To any one who has studied the avs 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 of equal promi-
nence, are facts which all acknowledge,
but which none can understand. The IA
Their may be Observation-Disclosures 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
frmities, and often of a physical nature.
These facts were strikingly brought out
during a conversation, which a representa-
tive of this paper recently had with Mrs.
Carrie D.. T. 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
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 age, in vague pains,
which seemed to come ~unaccountably and
at uncallsd for times. They were annoy
ing, exhausting, and inserfered 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 such violent forms, that it
was impossible for me to lift a cup to my
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. I realized what the diff
Guilty was, but seemed powcrless to avert
it. l finally became SO bad that l was con-
the time. My joints panied me continuous
ly and my fee5 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 a friend as be-
ing specially efficient in cases Of a similar
kind. To my great gratitude, I found that
it relieved me, restored my appetite, and l
am able to say that now I nave gained
forty pounds in weight, feel nolfectly well
ing, wholly, to Warmers Safe Rheumatic
cure, which was the remedy I used"
"No one would ever suspect you had
suffered so. Mrs. Swift, to see you now,"
remarked the reporter.
"Thati is what all my friend: say. Only
yesterday, an acquaintance Of niue, 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 I last met
you, how we'll you do look"
Have you any objection to giving the
name Of the party who first mentioned this
remedy to your"
"Not the slightest. 1t was Mr.. R. b.
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 a sufferer from rheuma-
tism, MIR. Furman?"
"Well, 1 should think 1 had"
"For how many years"
"Twelve or fifteen"

nothing seemed to do me any good until

"And it cured you, did it!"
"Yes, completely"

thing l have ever known of. 1t is simply
a wonderful medicine. I believe that two
thirds of all cases, both acute and chronic,
could bs cured as I was cured by the use OF
this remedy. In fact l know a number OF
persons who have been in the worst posi-
BILE condition, and are now completely wei

The statements above made are from
sources, the authority ofgshich can not be
questioned. They concfSsfvely prove the
value of the preparation named and show
that even hereditary traits can be removed
by the use of the proper means.
