GOIfesrOn fence spirit Of the Ilmcsl
An unusual adventure which recently &C.
CURED to your correspondent while hunting
at Brookmere, in this State, Is 50 timely and
contains 50 much that can be made valuable
to all readers, that venture to reproduce IL
entire:
The day was a most inelement one and the
snow quite deep. Rabbit tracks were plenti-
ful, but they principally led in the direction
OF a 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 perseyered, although
very small bag Of game was
the result. While tramping about through
a particularly malarial portion Of the
swamp, middle-aged man suddenly came
into view, carrying muzzle-loading shotgun
and completely loaded down with game of
the finest description. Natural curiosity,
aside from the involuntary envy that in
stinctively arose, prompted the writer to en-
ter into conversation with the man, with the
following result;
you've had fine success, where did you
get all that gamei
fright here, in the swamp"
Its pretty rough hunting in these parts,
especially when man goes up to his waist
every other step.n
EYES, it's not very pleasant, but am used
to it and don't mind it.n
'How long have you hunted hereabouts
why, bless you, have lived here most Of
my life and hunted up to ten years ago every
year."
'How does it happen you omitted the last
ten yearsp
Because was scarcely able to move, much
less hunt
u don't understand your
wen, you see, about ten years ago, after
he'd been tramping around all day in the
same swamp, felt quite a pain in my ankle.
l didn't mind it very much, but it kept
troubling me for day or two, and l could
zee that it kept increasing. The next thing l
knew, felt the same kind of pain in my
shoulder and l found it panied me to move
my arm. This thing kept going on and in
creasing, and though tried to shake off the
feeling and make myself think it was only a
little temporary trouble, found that it did
not go. Shortly after this my joints began
to ache at the knees and finally became so
bad 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 swampp'
'No, I didn't know what to lay it TO- but
! knew that l was in misery. My joints
Swelled until it seemed as though all the flesh
had left was punched at the joints; my
fingers crooked in every way, and some of
them became double-iolnted. 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 passed on, during which
time | was pretty nearly helpless. / became
so nervous and sensitive that 1 would sit

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 and
| fever, with occasional chills running all over
my body, but especially along my back and
! through my shoulders. Then again my blood
seemed to be boiling and my brain to be ON
| fire.n
Didn't you try to prevent all this agonyr'

all the proprietary medicines / could hear of.

was by injections of morphine"
"Well, you talk in a very strange manner
for q man who has tramped around on a day
like this and in a swamp like this. How in
the world do you dare to do its
because l am completely well and as
sound as q dollar. 1t may seem strange
but it is true, that l was entirely cured; the
rheumatism all driven out Of my blood; my
joints reduced to their natural size, and my
strength made as great as ever before, by
means of that great and simple remedy, War.

saved my life
"And SO you now have no fear of rheuma-

"Why, no. Even if it should come on,
can easily get rid of it by using the sam,

The writer turned to leave, as it was grow
ing dark, but before l had reached the city
precisely she same symptoms had just heard
described came upon me with great violence
Impressed with the hunters story, 1 tried the
same remedy, and within twenty -four hours
all pain and Inflammation had disappeared
If any reader is suffering from any man2eI

great remedy. And if any readers doubt the
truth of the above incident or its statements
let them write to A. A. Coates, Brookmere
