Chichester Democrat and Chronicle.)
To any one who has studied the laws
II life, and especially those which relate
% reproduction, an experience such as
We are about to relate, will come with
'pecial force and interest The trans
mission Of certain mental traits of
prominence, and of certain physical
rats of equal prominence, are facts
which all acknowledge, but which none
IAN understand. The father may be
distinguished, the son, an imbecile;
IF, the parent may be docrepit and un-
Known, and the child achieve the high
EST place possible to humanity. But
through it oil, there will be certain
characteristics, which mark the individ-
aal as descending from ancestors. Too
often, indeed, these characteristics are
infirmities, and often of q physical ma
ture.
These facts were strikingly brought
out during conversation, which rep
resentativc of this paper recently had
with Mrs. Carrie D. T. Swift, who is the
wife of one of our most prominent citi-
zens. This lady related that she inherited
from her parents certain tendencies, over
which she had no control, and which
wero in the nature of blood difficulties,
assuming the form of rheumatism. Her
experience can best be described in her
own words. TO the writer she said:
II felt tho beginning of this heredita-
~ faint many years ago, in vague pains,
which seemed to come unaccountably
and at uncalled for times. They were
annoying, exhausting, and interfered not
only with my duties, but also totally de-
stroyed my happiness. At first, they
would be only transient, appearing for
day or two, and then disappearing
then again they would come in such vio-
lent 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. I
realized Whist the difficulty was, but
seemed poweTless to avert it. I 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 proper
tons. Knowing that inherited this
tendency, I had about abandoned hope,
when I began the use of remedy which
was recommended to me as friend as
being specially efficient in cases of SIM
liar kind. To my great gratitude, I
found that it relieved me, restored my
appetite, and I am able to say that now
l 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 one would ever suspect you had
suffered so, Mrs. Swift, to see you now :"
remarked the reporter.
THAT is what all my friends say. Only
yesterday, an acquaintance Of mine,
whom had not seen for some time hes
itated, before speaking, and apologized
by saying, why I really did not know
you, you have changed so for the better
since I 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 you?"
''Not the slightest. 1t was Mr.. r. H.
Furman, 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?"
"Well, should think I had"
"For how many years?"
"Twelve or fifteen"
"Did you ever try to cure it,"
Eyes, l tried every thing, 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,"
eyes, completely"
"And you can cordially recommend
it,"
Eyes, indeed, more cordially than any,
thing I have ever known of. 1t is sim
ply o wonderful medicine. I believe
that two-tlirds of all cases, both acute
and chronic, could be cured as I was
cured by the use of this remedy. In
fact know a number of persons who
have been in the worst possible condi-
ton, and are now completely we'll Who'll
ly through its use."
The statements above made are from
sources, the authority of which cannot
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.
