A HUNTFR,S STORY.
How He Was Overcome and the Way
 Which He wns Finnlly saved.

tNorreEponneuCe Spirit Ut the Ilmehl | An unusual adventure which recently oc- cured to your correspondent while hunting | 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 inelement one and the snow quite deep. Rabbit tracks were plenti- | full, but they principally led il the direction of a large swamp, in which the rabbits could run without difficulty, but where the bunter iconstantly broke through the thin | ice, sinking into the half frozen mire to hls knees Notwithstanding these difficulties, the writer had perseyered, although a very small bag of game was | the result While tramping about through particularly malarial portion of the swamp, a middle aged man suddenly came into view, carrying 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 en- ter into conversation with the man, with the | following result;
 You've had fine success, where did you | get all that game
 | Right here, in the swamp" "It's pretty rough hunting in these parts, especially when man goes up to his waist every other step.n
 ''Yes it's not very pleasant, but am used | to it and don't mind it." "How long have you hunted hereabouts. n | "Why, bless you, have lived here most of my life and hunted up to ten years ago every year,
 "How does it happen you omitted the last | n'yearsln
 'Because was scarcely able to move, much less hunt"
 'I don't understand your "Well, you see, about ten years ago, after | I had been tramping around all day in the same swamp, felt quite pain in my ankle didn't mind it very much, but it kept | troubling me for day or two, and could see that it kept increasing. The next thing l knew, felt the same kind of a pain in my | shoulder and found 1t pained me to move my arm. This thing kept going on and in creasing, and though tried to skake off the Il feeling and make myself think it was only a | little temporary trouble, found that it did not go. Shortly after this my joints began | to ache at the knees and finally became so bad that l 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 swampf'
 ''No, didn't know what to lay it to, but | knew that I was in misery. My joints yweled until it seemed as though all the flesh had left was punched at the joints my | fingers crooked in every way, and some of them became ouble-jointed. In fact, every | joint in my body seemed to vie with the others to see which could become the largest and cause me the greatest suffering. In this way several years passed on, during which | time l was pretty nearly helpless. l became so nervous and sensitive that l would sit | bolstered up in the 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, 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"
 Didn't you try to prevent all this agonyf' "Tryi l should think l did try. l tried | every doctor that came within my reach and | all the proprietary medicines l could hear of. used washes and liniments enough to last me for all time, but the only relief received | was by injections of morphine" | "Well, you talk in very strange manner | for a man who has tramped around on a day like this and in a swamp like this. How in the world do you dare to do itfn "Because I am completely well and as | sound as a dollar. It may sesm 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 and simple remedy, War
 ner's Safe Rheumatic Cure, which believe
 saved my life"
 "And so you now have no fear of rheuma-
 tismfn
 "Why, no. Even if it should come on. I
 can easily get rid of it by using the same
 remedy
 The writer turned to leave, as it was grow ing dark, but before had reached the city
 precisely she same symptoms had just heard described came upon me with great violence Impressed with the hunters story, tried tho | same remedy, and within t~enty-four houTS
 all pain and inflammation had disappeared | If any reader is suffering from any manreI
 of rheumatic or neuralgia troubles and de
 sires relief let him by all means try this samt
 great remedy And if any readers doubt tho

 let them write to A. A. Coates, Brookmere N. Y., who was the man with whom tht
 writer conversed, and convince themselves oi it's truth or falsity. J. R. c.
