HEREDITARY TAINTS.,

Some Revelations on SmDject Which, Com
Happiness of All.
To any one who has studied the laws of
life, and especially those which relate to re-
production, 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 prominence, are facts
which all acknowledge, but which none can
understand The father may be distinguished,
the 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. 100 often,
indeed, these characteristics are lnllrmtles,
and often of a physical nature.
These facts were strikingly brought out
during a conversation which representa-
tive of this paper recently had with MIS-
Carrie D. T. Swift, who is the wife OF one OF
our 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 diff
culties, assuming the form OF rheumatism.
Her experience can best be described in her
own words. To the writer she said:
81 felt the beginning of this hereditary
faint many years ago, in vague pains, which
seemed to come unaccountabiy and at I'M
called for times They were annoying, ex-
hausting, and interfered not only with my
duties, but also totally destroyed my happt
ness. At first, they would be only tran
sient, appearing for a day or two, and
then disappearing; then again they
would come in such violent forms that
it was impossible for me to lift cup
co my mouth. Afterward, my feet and hands
swelled so that it was impossible for me to
draw on my shoes or gloves without the
greatest effort. | realized what the difficulty
was, but seemed powerless to avert 1t. L
finally became so bad that [ was confined to
the house and to my bed most of the time.
My Joints panied me continuously and my
feet swelled to enormous proportions Know
ing that l inherited this tendency, had
about abandoned hope, when began the use
of a remedy, which was recommended to Inc
by friend as being specially efficient in cases
of similar kind. To my great gratitude,
found that it relieved me, restored my appe-
tite, and 1 am able to say that now have
gained forty pounds in weight, feel perfectly
well, and am in the best possible condition,
owing, wholly, to Warmers Safe rheumatic
cure, which was the remedy | used"
No one would ever suspect you had sui
fered so, Mrs. Swift to see you now,"
remarked the reporter.
"That is what all my friends say. Only
Yesterday, an acquaintance of mine, whom 1
had not seen for some time, hesitated, before
speaking, and apologized by saying, why,
really did not know gu, you have changed
so for the better since L last met you, how
well you 90 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. H. Fur
man, the photographer"
The newspaper man, after bidding Mrs
Swift goodbye, repaired to the photo
graphic rooms of M. Furman, when the
following conversation ensued:
"Have you been a sufferer from rheuma-
tism, Mr. Furman?"
"Well, should think l had.n
"For how many years"
"Twelve or fifteen

ayes, indeed, more cordially than anything
have ever known of. 1t is simply wonder
full medicine. believe that two thirds of all
cases, both acute and chronic, could be cured
as | was cured by the use of this remedy. In
fact know a number OF persons who have
been in the worst possible condition, and are
now completely well, wholly through its USE"
The statements above made are from
sources, the authority of which cannot be
questioned. They conclusively prove the
value of the preparation named and show
that even hereditary traits can be removed
by the use of the proper means.-RocheSteT
