These facts were strikingly brought
out during conversation, which re.
preventative of this paper recently had
with Mrs. Carrie ID. Il. Swift, who il
the wife of one of our most prominent
citizens. This lady related that she in.
herlted from her parents certain ten.
dencies, over which she had no control
and which were 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
81 felt the beginning of this heredi-
tary taint many years ago, in vague
pains, which seemed to come unac-
countably and at uncalled for times.
They were annoying, exhausting, and
interfered not only with my duties, but
also totally destroyed my happiness.
AT first, they would be only transient,
appearing for day or two, and then
disappearing; then again they would
come in such violent forms, that it was
impossible for me to lift a cup to my
mouth. Afterwards, my feet aud hands
swelled so that it was impossible for
me to draw on my shoes or gloves
without the greatest effort. / realized
what the difficulty was, but seemed

''No one would ever suspect you

you now,' remarked the reporter.
''That is what all my friends say.
Only yesterday; an acquaintance OF

apologized by saying, "Why l really

"Yes, indeed more cordially than
anything l have ever known of. 1t is
simply wonderful medicine. l believe
that two-thirds of all cases, both acute
