 Rochester Democrat and chronicle.l
 Te anyone who has studied the laws of life, and especially those which relate to reproduction, an experience such as we are about to relate will come with special force and interest. The trans mission of cer- tain mental traits of prominence, and of cer- tain physical traits of equal prominence, are facts which all acknowledge. but which none can understand. The father may be dis tinRuishsd-the son, an imbeeils; or. the parent may be decrepit and unknown. and the child achieve the highest place possible to humanity. But through it all there will be certain characteristics which mark the indi- vidual as descending from certain ancestors Too often, indeed these characteristics are infirmities and often of physical nature.
 These facts were strikfngly brought out during 8 conversation which a representative 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 rheuma- tism. Her experience can best be described in her own words. To the writer she said:
 ''I felt the beginning of this hereditary taint many years ago, in vague pains which seemed to come unaccountably and at un- called for times. They were annoying sx- kausting, and interfered net only with my duties. but totally destroyed my happiness. At first they would be only transient, appear ing for day or two, and then disappearing; then again they would come in such violent forms that 1t was impossible for me to lift . cup to my mouth Afterwards my feet and hands swslled so that it was impossible for me to draw on my shoes or gloves without the greatest effort. I realized what the dfi- culty was, but seemed powerless to avert it. finally became so bad that was confined to the house and to my bed most of the time. My joints pained me constantly and my feet .wslled to snormou. proportiona Know, ing that I inherited this tendency, I had about abandoned hope, when began the use of remedy which was recommended to me by friend as being specially efficient in cases of a similar kind. To my great grati- tude I found that 1t relieved me, restored my appetite, and I am able to say that new have gained forty pounds in weight, feel per- fectly well and am in the best possible con- dition, owing wholly to Warner's Safe Rhsu- matic Cure, which was the remedy used" ''No one would ever suspect you had sui fsred 90, Mrs. Swift. to sse you now," re- marked the reporter.
 ''That is what all my friends say. Only l yesterday an acquaintance of mine, wh om 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 ts giving the name of the party who first mentioned this remedy to you?"
 Not the slightest. It was MT. R. Fl. Furmsn, the photographer"
 The newspaper man, after bidding Mrs. Swift goodbye, repaired to the photographic | rooms of Mir. Furman. when the following conversation ensued:
 Have you been sufferer from rheuma l tism, Mir. Furman?''
 Well, should think had.'' "For how many years2"
 | ''Tvelve or fifteen" ''Dfd you try to cure it?''
 ''Yes. I tried everything, and at last wen to the Hot Springs of Arkansas. and noth ing seemed to do me any good until I ftrisG Warner's Safe Rheumatic Cure"
 "And 1t cured ysu. did ftp"
 | "Yes, completely

 The statements above made are iron
 sources the authority of which cannot b,

 that even the hereditary traits can be re
 moved by the use of the proper means.
