Tome Revelations on A Subject which
Concerns the Welfare of the Race
and the Happiness of All.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle,
To any one who has studied the laws
If life, and especially those which relate
o reproduction, an experience such as
We are about to relate, viii 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
AN understand. The father may be
distinguished, the son, an imbecile;
IF, the parent may be decrepit and un-
Known, and the child achieve the high
sst place possible to humanity. But
through it all, there viii be certain
characteristics, which mark the individ-
1al as descending from ancestors. Too
ofte1f, indeed, these characteristics are
infrmities, and often of physical ma
lure.
These facts were strikingly brought
out during a conversation, which q rep
resentatiye of this paper recently had
with Mrs. Carrie d. I. 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
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:
/ felt the beginning of this heredita-
ny 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 yio-
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. L
realized what the difficulty 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 panied me continuously and
my feet swelled to enormous proper
tions. Knowing that / inherited this
tendency, had about abandoned hope,
when | began the use of aremedy which
was recommended to me as friend as
being specially efficient in cases of sim
liar 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 well and am In the best
possible condition, owing, wholly, to
Warmers Sale Rheumatic cure, which
was the remedy I used"
'fNo one would ever suspect you had
suffered so, Mrs. Swift to see you now"
remarked tho 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 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 you?"
'Not the slightest 1t was Mr.. r. I'll.
Furman, the photographer"
The newspaper man, after bidding
Mrs. Swift goodbye, repaired to the
Photographic rooms of Mr.. Furman,
when the following conversation ensued
"Haye you been sufferer from rheu-
matism, Mr.. Furman ?"
"Well, 1 should think I had"
"For how many years"
"Twelve or fifteen"
"Did you ever try to cure it 2"
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?'
eyes, completely"
"And you can cordially recommend
it,"
eyes, indeed, more cordially than any
thing have ever known of. 1t Is SIM
ply wonderful 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 persons who
have been in the worst possible condi-
ton, and are now completely well Who'll
ly through its use"
The statements above made are from
sources, the authority of which cannot
bequestioned. 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
