An unusual adventure which recently oc.
CURED to your correspondent while hunting
Mt Brookmere, in this State, is so timely and
contains so much that can be mnde valuable
to all readers, that venture 10 reproduce it
entire:
The day was a most nclement one and the
snow quite deep Rabbit tracks were plenti-
full. but they principally led i the direction
of large swamp, in which the rabbits
could run without difficulty, but where the
hunter constantly broke through the thin
ice sinking into the half. frozen mire to his
knees. Notwithstanding these difficulties,
the writer Lad persevere1, although
very small bag of game was
the result. While tramping about through
particularly malarial portion of the
swamp, middle-aged man suddenly came
into view, carrying muzzle-loading shotgun
and completely loaded down with game of
tho finest description. Natural curiosity,
aside from the involuntary envy that in
stinctvely arose, prompted the writer to en-
ter into conversation with the man, with the
following result:
you've bad fine success, where did you
get all that game'
fright here, in the swamp
cts pretty rough hunting in these parts,
especially when man goes up to his waist
every other STEP
''Nes, it's not very pleasant, but am used
to it and don't mind it,
How long have you hunted hereaboutsn
"Why, bless you, have lived here most Of
my life and hunted up to ten years ago ever
year.
Glow does it happen you omitted the last
ten yearsln
Because was scarcely able to move, much
less hunt"
81 don't understand vou.n
well, you see, about ten years ago, after
] had been tramping around al day in the
same swamp, et quite n pain in my ankle.
| didn't mind it very much, but it kept
troubling ne for a day or two, and | could
see that it kept increasing. The next thing |
knew, felt the same kind of pain in my
shoulder and | found it panied me to move
my arm. This thing kept going on and in
creasing, and though l tried to shake off tho
feeling and make myself think it was only
little temporary trouble, found that it did
not GO Shortly after this my joints began
to ache at the knees and finally became so
sad that had to remain in the house most Of
the time
And did you trace all this to the fact that
you had hunted so much in this swamp
"No, | didn't know what to lay it to, but
| knew that | was in misery. My joints
swelled until it seemed as though all the flesh
had left was punched at the joints my
ingers crooked in every way, and some Of
them became double jolnted. In fact. every
joint In my body seemed to vie with the
others TO see which could become the largest
and cause me the greatest suffering. In this
way several years Iassed on, during which
time was pretty nearly helpless. | became
50 nervous and sensitive that | would sit
bolstered up in the chair and call to people
that entered the room not to come near me,
or even touch my chair. While all this was
going on, felt an awful burning heat ant.
fever, with occasional chils running all over
my body, but especially along my back ana
through my shoulders Then again my blood
seemed to be boiling and my brain to be on
fire.
Didn't you try to prevent all this agonyp
"Iry! 1 should thinl; | did try. 1 tried
every doctor thai came within my reach and
all the proprietary medicines | could hear of
/ used washes an liniments enough to last
me tor all time, but the only relief / received
was by injections of morphine"
wv ell, you talk III a very strange manner
FOR man who has tramped around on n day
like this and i'll swamp like this. How in
the world do you dare to do itl'
because | am completely well and as
sound as a dollar. 1t may seam strange,
but it is true, that was entirely cured; the
rheumatism all driven out of my blood: my
joints reduced to their natural size, and my
strength made as great ever before, by
means of that great and simple remedy, " ar
ner's Safe Rheumatic Cure, which believe
saved my life
And SO you now have no fear of rheuma-
tism.'
"Why, no. Even if it should come on, I
can easily get rid of it by using the same
remedy

Impressed with the hunters story, | tried the
same remedy, and within twenty flour hours
all pain and Inflammation had disappeared.
If any reader is suffering from any manner
