| Some Revelations on n Subject Which
Concerns the Welfare OF the Race and
the Happiness OF All.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
To any ono who has studied the laws of life,
and especially those which relate to repro
duction. an experience such as we are about
to relate will como with special force and in
forest. The transmission Of certain mental
traits of prominence and of certain phys.
cal traits of equal prominence, are facts
which all acknowledge, but which none can
understand. The father may BIO distin-
guished-the son, an imbccile; or, the parent
may be decrepid and unknown, and the child
| achieve the highest place possible to human
| ity. But through it all there will be certain
characteristics which mark the individual as
descending from certain ancestors Too
often, indeed, these characteristics are in
frmities, and often Of a ply sical nature.
These facts were strikingly brought ont
during a conversation which a representivo
of this paper recently had with Mrs. Carrie
| ID. II. Swift, who is tho wife of ono 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 tho 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 palms. which
| seemed to como unaccountably and at an UNI
called for times. They were annoying, ex.
hausting, and interfered not only with my
duties, but also totally destroyed my happi-
ness. At first, they would be only transient,
appearing for day or two, and then disap-
| pearing; then again they would come in
such violent forms that IL was impossible for
mo to lift cup to my mouth. Afterward,
my feet and hands swelled SO that it was i'm
| possible for mo to draw on my shoes or gloves
without the greatest effort. l realized
what the difficulty was, but seemed
powerless to avert it. 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. Knowing
that inherited this tendency, had about
| abandoned hope, when l began the use OF
remedy which was recommended to me by
friend as being specially efficient in cases of
| similar kind. To my great gratitude, l found
| that it relieved me, restored my appetite, and
l 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"
"No ono 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, hesitated before
speaking, and apologized by saying, Why,
really did not know you, you have changed
SO for the better since last met you. How
| well you do look"
Have you any objection to giving the
name of the party who first mentioned this
remedy to youW
mot the slightest 1t was Mr.. R. II. Fur
man, the photographer"
The newspaper man, after bidding Mrs.
Swift goodbye repaired to the Photographic
rooms of Mr.. Furman, when the following
conversation ensued:
Have you been sufferer from rheu-
matism, Mr.. Furman?"
We'll, should think had"
For how many years ?"
Twelve or fifteen.'
"Did you try to cure it?'
Eyes; tried everything, and, at last,
went TO the Hot Springs, of Arkansas, and
nothing seemed to do me any good until
tried Warmers Safe Rheumatic Cure"
"And it cured you, did It'll"
eyes, completely" rU""N
"And you can cordially recommend it !"
Eyes, indeed, moro cordially than anything
| / have ever known Of 1t is simply q won
derful 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 number of per-
sons 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 connot 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.
