HOW He was Overcome and the wsy by
which He was Finally Saved.
| Correspondence Spirit Of the Ttnes.)
An unusual adventure which recently
occurred 20 your correspondent while
hunting at Brookmere, in this State, is
be made valuable to all readers, that
venture to reproduce it entire:
The day was most Indictment one and
the snow quite deep. Rabbit tracks
were plentiful. but they principally led
in the direction of large swamp, in
which the rabbits could run without diff
| ficulty, but where the hunter constantly
broke through the thin ice, sinking into
the half-frozen mire to his knees. Not
withstanding these difficulties, the wri-
ter had persevered, although very
small bag Of game was the result. While
tramping about through particularly
malarial portion Of the swamp, middle
aged man suddenly came into view, car
ring muzzls- loading shotgun, and COM
pletely loaded down with game of the
finest description. Natural curiosity,
aside from the involuntary envy that in
stinctively arose, prompted the writer to
enter into conversation with the man,
with the following result:
You've had fine success; where did
you get all that game?"
Fright here, in the swamp"
Its pretty rough hunting in these
parts, especially when man goes up to
his waist every other STEP"
"Yes, it's not very pleasant, but am
used to it and don't mind it,
'I1ow long have you hunted here
abouts."
why, bless you, l have lived here
most of my life and hunted up to ten
yeaes ago every year.
How does it happen you omitted the
last ten years."
Because was scarcely able to move,
much less hunt"
II don understand YOU
We'll You see. about ten years ago.
after had been trampiug around all day
in this Same swamp. | felt qnite Il pain
i'll my ankle. l didn't mind it very
much, but it kept troubling me for day
or two. aud could see that it kept in
creasing. The next thing knew, felt
the same kind of pan in my shoulder
and found it panied me to move my
arm. This thing kept going Oh and in
creasing, and though tried to shake off
the feeling and make myself think it was
only little temporary trouble, found
that it did not 60. Shortly after this my
joints began too, ach at the knees, and
finally became SO bad that had to re-
main 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"
mo, didn't know what to lay it to,
but knew that l WAS in misery. My
joints swelled 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 double
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 near helpless.
| became SO nervous and sensitive that
would sit bolstered Up in the chair
and Call to people that entered the room
not to come near mo, o. even touch my
chair. While all this was going on,
felt an awful burning heat and fever, with
occasional chlls 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 Oh fire.
Didn't You try to prevent all this
agony"
Try, should think did try. | tried
every doctor that came within my reach.

enough to last me for all time, but the
only relief received was by injections
of morphine"
well, you talk in very strange man
ner for man who has tramped around
| on day like this and in a swamp like
this. How in the world do you dare to
do it?''
Because / am 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 and
simple remedy, Warmers Safe Rheuma-
tic Cure, which I believed saved my
lifs."
And so you now have no feaI of rheu-
matism?"
why, no. Even if it should come
on, l can easily get rid of it by using the
same remedy"
The writer turned to leave, as it was
growing dark, but before had reached
the city precisely the same symptoms
had just heard described came upon me
with great violence. Impressed with the
hunters story. tried the same remedy
and within twenty-four hours all pain
and Inflammation had disappeared. If any
reader is suffering fom any manner of
rheumatic or neuralgia troubles and de-
sires relief, let him by all means try this
same great remedy. And if any readers
doubt the truth of the above incident or
its statements, let them write to A. A.
Coates, Brookmere, N. y, who was the
man with whom the writer conversed,
and convince themselves of its truth or
talsity. j. II. G..
