A HUNTERS STORY.
How He Was Overcome and the Way b.
Which He was Finally saved.

| respOndence Spirit OF the Times
| An unusual adventure which recently oc
| curred TO your correspondent while hunting
| at Brookmere, in this State, is SO timely and
| contains so much that can be made valuable
| to all readers, that venture to reproduce II
| entire:
| The day was most inclement one ana 1ne
| snow quite deep. Rabbit tracks were plenIl-
| full, but they principally led in the dlrectlon
| of a large swamp, in which the rabbits
| could run without difficulty, but where the
hunter constantly broke through the thln
ice, sinking into the half-frozen mdre 70 ms
knees Notwithstanding these difficulties,
the writer had persevered; although
a very small bag of game was
the result While tramping about through
particularly malarial portion OF the
| swamp, a middle-aged man suddenly came
| into view, carrying muzzle-loadlng shotgun
| and completely loaded down with game of
| the finest description. Natural curiosity,
| aside from the Involuntary envy that in
stinctively arose, prompted the writer to en-
| ter 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"
| 'It's pretty rough hunting in these parts,
| especially when man goes up to his waist
every other step"

| to it and don't mind it.n
| 'How long have you hunted hereabouts.
| "Why, bless you, l have lived here most of
my life and hunted up to ten years ago every
| year,
GLOW does it happen you omitted the last
| ten years?n
Because 1 was scarcely able tom move, much

l had been tramping around all day in the
same swamp, felt quite pain in my ankle.

troubling me for day or two, and / could
see that it kept increasing. The next thing
knew, felt the same Kind of a pain in my
shoulder and l found it panied me to move
my arm. This thing kept going on and in
creasing, and though l tried to shake off the
feeling and make myself think it was only
little temporary trouble, found that it did
not go. Shortly after this my joints began
to ache at the knees and l finally became so
bad that l 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?'
''No, didn't know what to lay it to, but
l knew that L was I'D 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 puSSSu curing WnlO0
time l was pretty nearly helpless. | became
so nervous and sensitive that I would sit
| bolstered up in the chair and call to people
that entered the room not to come near me,
or even touch my chair. While all 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 again my blood
| seemed to be boiling and my brain to be on
| fire.
Didn't you try to prevent all this agony"
''Tryl | should think | did try. | tried
every doctor chat came within my reach and
all the proprietary medicines / could hear of.

me for all time, but the only relief l received
was by injections of morphine"
'tWel, you talk in a very strange manner
for a 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 l am completely well and as
sound as a 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, War
ner's 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 the same
remedy"
The writer turned to leave as it was grow
ing dark, but before L had reached the city
precisely she same symptoms | had just heard
described came upon me with great violence.
Impressed with the hunters story, l tried the
same remedy, and within twenty-four hours
all pain and Inflammation had disappeared
If any reader is suffering from 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 falsity. J. r. C..
