A HUNTERS STORY.
How He Was Overcome and the Way
by which He was Finally

Correspondence Spirit of the Times.)
An unusual adventure which recently
occurred 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 it entire:
The day was most inclement one and
the snow quite deep. Rabbit tracks were
plentiful, but they principally led in the d.
rection of large swamp, in which the rab
bits could run without difficulty, but where
the hunter constantly broke through
the thin ice sinking into
the half-froZen mire to his knees.
Notwithstanding these difficulties, the writer
had persevered, although very small bag OF
game was the result. While tramping about
through particularly malarial portion of the
swamp, middle-aged man suddenly came
into view, carrying muzzle loading shot
gun and completely loaded down with game
of the finest description. Natural curiosity,
aside from the involuntary envy that instinct
lively arose, prompted the writer to enter into
conversation with the man, with the follow
ing result:
t'You've had fine success; where did you
get all that games"

eyes, it's not very pleasant, but am used
to it and don't mind it,
GLOW long have you hunted hereabouts. F"
''Why, bless you, I have lived live here
most of my life and hunted up to ten years
ago every year"
"How does it happen you omitted the last
ten years?"
because I was scarcely able to move,
much less hunt.''
81 don't understand you?''
"Well, you see. about ten years ago, after
I had been tramping around ALL day in this
same swamp, felt quite pain in my ankle.
l didn't mind it very much, but it kept troub-
ling me for day or two, and could see that it
kept increasing The next thing I knew, l
felt the same kind of 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 little tenn
porary trouble, I found that it did not go.
Shortly after this my joints began to ache at
the knees and 1 finally became so bad that
I had to remain in the house most of the
time.n
''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
knew that I was in misery. My joints swell
ed until it seemed as though all the flesh
had left was punched at the joints; my fin
gers 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 sew
eral years passed on, during which time
was pretty nearly helpless. l became SO ner-
vous and sensitive that 1 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 run
ming 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 agonys"
''Try, I should think did try. l tried
every doctor that came within my reach and
all the proprietary medicines l could hear of
used washes and liniments enough to last
me for all time, but the only relief received
was by injections of morphine"
'sWell, you talk in very strange manner
for man, who has tramped around on a
day like this in a swamp like this. How in
the world do you dare to do ita''
because 1 am completely well and as
sound as dollar. It;may seem strange, but it
is true that was entirely cured; the rheuma-
tsm 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, Warmers Safe
Rheumatic Cure, which I believe saved my
life.''
"And so you now have no fear of rheuma-
tism?n - -
"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 had reached the city
precisely the same symptoms had just heard
described came upon me with great violence.
Impressed with the hunters story, 1 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 desires
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. ]. r. G.
