~ anV one who has studied the laws OF
ITO and especially those which relate to re-
nroduction. an experience such as we are
about to relate, will come with speclal lorce
and interest. The transmission OF cern"
mental traits of prominence, and OF certa,-
nhvsical traits of equal prominence, are facts
which all acknowledge, but which none car
understand. The father may be distinguished,
the son. an imbecile; or, the parent may R
decrepit and unknown, and the child achieve
the highest place possible to humanity. Blu,
throuSh it ali, there will be certain charac'
t~eristics. which mark the individual as de-
scending from certain ancestors. Too oiten,
indeed. these characteristics are
and often Of q physical nature. 1891.
These facts were strlkIngly brougnt ou'
during O conversation, which a representa-
tive Of this parer recently had with Mrs:
Carrie D. 4. Swift, who is the wife OF one o.
orr prominent citizens. This lady related
that she inherited from her parents certain
tendencies, over which she had no contr0i,
and which were in the nature OF blood dill
cultic,, assuming the form Of rheumatism.
Her experience can best be described In her
own words. To tho writer she SAID:

haustinr. and interfered not only with my
duties. Gut also totally destroyed my happt
ness. At first, they would be only tran,
sient, appearing for O day or two, ana
then disappearing; then again they
would come in such violent forms that
it wa, impossible for mo to lift q cur

swelled so that it was impossible for me 70

finally became so bad that I was confined TO
the house and to my bed most OF the time.
NV Joints panied me continuously ana my
feet swelled to enormous proportions know,

about abandoned hope, when began tne use
of q remedy, which was recomnendea 70 Int
by a friend as being specially efficient IN case !
Of a similar kind. To my great gratltude, l
found that it relieved me, restored my aPpe-
tite. and / am able to say that now l have
Gained forty rounds in weight, feel perfectly

owing. wholly, to Warmers Safe Rheumatic
cure. which was the remedy l 7 used"
"No one would ever suspect you had SUI
fered so, Mrs. Swift to see you now,
remarked the reporter. o-,.
"That is what all my friends say. Onl3
Yesterday, an acquaintance OF mine, "honi

THE newspaper man, after bidding MIS-
Swift ood-bye, repaired to the photo
rranhic rooms Of Mr.. Furman, when To
following conversation ensued:

cases, both acute and chronic, could De cure

The statements above male are lroi
sources, the authority Of which cannot .

value of the preparation named and sho'
that even hereditary traits can be remove
