Which He was Finally Saved,
Correspondence Spirit of the Times.1
An unusual adventure which recently oc-
CURED to your correspondent while hunt
ing at Brookmere in this state is so timely and
contains so much that can be made valuable
to all readers, that I venture to reproduce it
entire:
The day was a most Indictment one and the
snow quite deep. Rabbit tracks were plentiful,
but they principally led in the direction of a
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 bis knees. Notwlth-
standing these difficulties, the writer had per-
! severed, although very small bag of,game was
the result While tramping about through a
particularly malarial portion of the swamp, q
middle aged man suddenly came into view
carrying nlUzzle loading shot quo and COM
pIetely loaded down with game of the finest
description. Natural curiosity. aside from the in-
voluntary envy that inst1nctlvely arose, prompt
ed the writer to enter into conversation with
the man, with the following result:
you've had fine success, where did you get
all that gamer"
Fright here in the swamp"
''It'g pretty rough hunting in these parts, es-
pecially when man goes up to his waist every
other STEP"
Eyes, it's not very pleasant, but am used
TO it and don't mind it."
''How long have you hunted hereabouts?"
"Why, bless you, have lived here most of
my life and hunted up to ten years ago every
year."
Glow does itihappen you omitted the last
ten years?"
because was unable to move, much less
hunt"
81 don't understand YOU"
''Wen, you see, about ten years ago, after I
Ind been trampi g ~ onnd all day in this same
swamp, felt quite pain in nv ankle
4 Init fror1 1rr
me for a day or two, and [ could see that 1t
kept increasing, The next thing I knew, felt
the same kind of q pain in my shoulder and
found it panied me to move my arm. This thing
kept going on and increasing. and though /
tried to shake off the 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 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"
mo, | didn't know what to lay it TO- but
uneW that was in misery. My joints swelled
until 1t seemed as though all the flesh had
left w&s punched at the joints; my fingers
crooked IN every way aud some of them became
doube-j oInted. Ia fact, every Joint 10 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 OG, during which time l was pretty
Deary helpless. 1 became so nervous and
sensitive that I would sit boIstered up in the
chair and call TO people that entered the room
not to come near me, or even touch my chair.
While al 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
9galn my blood seemed to be boiling and my
brain to be on fire."
''Didn't you try to prevent all this agony?"
''Try, should think did try. tried every
doctor that came within my reach and all the
proprietary medicines could hear Of. / used
washes ana liniments enough to last me for
all time, but the only relief I received was by
injections of morphine"
well, you talk III very strange manner
for man, who has tramned around on a day
like this aud in a swamp like this. How in the
world do you dare to do it?"
Because am completely well and as sound
IS 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, WarDer's Safe Rheumatic
Cure, which believe saved my life"
And so you now have no fear Of rheuma-
tism.'
''Yhy, no, even if it should come on. l can
easily get nd Of it by using the same remedy"
The writer turned to leave, as it was grow
ing dark, but before I had reached the CITY
precisely the same symptoms had just heard
described came upon me with great violence.
Impressed with the hunters story, I tried the
same remedy, and within Of tWenty-four hours
all the pain and Inflammation had disappeared.
Ii any reader is suffering from any manner of
rheumatic or neuralgia troubles and desire re
lief let him by all means try the same great
remedy. And if any readers doubt the truth
of above incident or its statements let them
write to A. a. Coates, Brookmere; N. Y, who
was the man the writer cO0vPrSad with nd
convince themselves of its truth or faIsity.
