winch He was Finally Saved.
Correspondence Spirit Of he Times
An unusual adventure which recently oc-
CURED to your correspondent while hunting
at Brookmore, in this state, is so timely and
contains so much that can DO made valuable
to oil readers that venture to reproduce it
entire
The day was most inclemept ono and the
snow quito deep. Rabbit tracA were plenti-
full but they principally led in the direction
of largo swamp, in which the rabbits could
run without difficulty but whore tho hunter
constantly broke through the thin ice, sink
ing into tho half frozen mire to his knees
Notwithstanding these difficulties, the writer
had persevered, although n very small bag of
game was the result. While tramping about
through particularly malarisl portion of the
swamp, q middle aged man suddenly came
into view, carrying a muzzle loading shotgun
and completely loaded down with game of the
finest description. Natural curiosity, aside
from the involuntary envy that instinctively
arose. prompted the writer to enter into con-
versation with the man, with tho following
result:
You've had fine success; where did you
get all that gameW
Fright hore, in the swamp"
Its pretty rough hunting in these parts,
| especially when man goes up to his waist
every other STEP"
Eyes, it's not worry pleasant; but ] am
used to it and don't mind it,"
How long have you hunted hereabouts 2"
"Why, bless you, have lived hero most
of my life, and hunted up TO ten years ago
every year"
How does it happen you omitted the last
ton years."

well, you see, about ten years ago, after
had been tramping around all day in this
same swamp, felt quite q pain in my ankle.
| 1 didn't mind IL very much, but IL kept
| troubling me for day or two, and / could
SEQ that it kept increasing. The next thing
l KIN ow / felt the same kind of pain in my
shoulder, and found it panied mo to move
my arm. This thing kept going on and in
| creasing. and, though tried to shake of the
feeling and make myself think it was only a
| little temporary trouble, | found that il did
| not go. Shortly after this my joints began to
ache at the knees, aud finally became so bad
that had to remain in tho house most Of the
ime."
"And did you trace oil this to the fact that
you had hunted 80 much in this swamp
mo, didn't know what to lay it TO, but
knew that was in misery. My joints swelled
until IL seemed as though all the flesh 1 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

was pretty nearly helpless. | became so
| nervous and sensitive that | would sit boil

entered the room, not to come near me- or
| even touch my chair. While all this was

| 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 or
| fire."
| Didn't you try to prevent all this agony2
Try, should think | did try. l tried
every doctor that came within my reach and
oil the proprietary medicines l could hear of
| used washes and linimeuts enough to last
me for all time, but tho only relief received
was by injections Of morphine"
| well, you talk in very strange manner
| for man who has tramped around on q day
like this aud in swamp like this. How in
the world do you dare to do it?"
Because l am completely we'll and a.
sound as dollar. 1t may seem strange, bu
1t is true that l was entirely cured; tn
rheumatism all driven out of my blood; m,
joints reduced to their natural size and m,
strength made as great as ever before, b.
means of that great and simple remedy, War
ncrs Safe Rheumatic Cure, which, believe
saved my life"
"And so you now have no fear of rheuma
tism?"
"Why, no. Even If it should come on
can easily get rid of it by using tho sam
remedy"
The writer turned to leave, as it was grow
ing dark, but before had reached the cit
precisely the same symptoms had just hear
described came upon me with great violenc,
Impressed with the hunters story, tried tl
same remedy, and within twenty four hour
oil pain and inflammation had disappeared
If any reader is suffering from any mamie
of rheumatic or neuralgia troubles and desire
relief let him, by all means, try this sam
great remedy. And if any readers doubt tn
truth of the above incident or its statements
let them write to A. A. Coates Brookmere, N
Y, who was tho man with whom the write
conversed, and convince themselves of IL
truth or falsity. j. II. @.
