CONCERNS THE WELFARE OF TIE RACE
AND THE HAPPINESS OF ALL.
lRochester Democrat and Chronicle. J

are aDOCt 10 relate, Will come Win speclal
force and interest The, transmission OF
certain mental traits of prominence, and
of certain physical traits Of equal promi-
nence, are facts which all acknowledge,
but which none can understand. The faith
er may be distinguished; the son, an imbe-
cile; or, the parent may be decripit and un-
known, and the child achieve the highest
place possible to humanity. But through
| it all, there will be certain characteristics,
which mark the individual as descending
| from certain ancestors. Too often, indeed,
these characteristics are in6rmities, and Of
ten of physical nature.
These facts were strikingly brought ont
during conversation which a representa-
tive of this paper recently had with Mrs.
Carrie d. T. Swift, who is the wife of one
OF our most 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 difficulties, assuming the form OF
rheumatism. Her experience caH best be
described in her own words. To the writer
| she said:
~ felt the beginning of this hereditary
faint many years ago, in vague pains,
which seemed to come unaccountably and
at unt allied tor times. They were annoy
ing, exhausting, and intsrfered not only
with my duties, but also totally destroyed
my happiness. At first, they would be on
ly transient, ap pearing for day or two,
and then disappearing; then again they
would come in such violent forms that It
was impossible for me to lift cup to my
mouth. Afterwards, 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 diff.
Guilty was, but seemed powerless to avert
It. l finally became so bad that was con-
fined to the house and to my bed most of
the time. My joints panied me continu-
ously, and my feet swelled to enormous
proportions. Knowing that inherited
this tendency, I had about abandoned
hope, when began the use of a remedy
which was recommended to me as friend
as being specially efficient in cases of
similar kind. To my great gratitude, l
found that it relieved me, restored my ap-
petite, and am able to say that now
have gained forty pounds in weight, feel
perfectly we'll, and am in the best possible
condition, owing wholly to Warmers Safe
Rheumatic Cure, which was the remedy
used"
mo one would ever suspect you had suf-
fered so, Mrs. Swift, to see you now" re-
marked the reporter.
"That is what all my friends say. Only
yesterday, an acquaintance Of mine, whom
l had not seen for some time, hestated be-
fore speaking, and apologized by saying,
why l really did not know you, you have
changed so for the better since last met
you, how we'll you do look"
"Have you any objection to giving the
name of the party who first mentioned
this remedy to your
mot the slightest. 1t was Mr.. R. Fl. Fur
man, the photographer"
"The newspaper man, after bidding Mrs.
Swift goodbye, repaired to the Photograph

ing conversation ensued

sources, the authority OF which cannot be

value Of the preparation named and show
that even hereditary traits can DO removed
