some Revelations ON "A subject Which Con.
Germs the Welfare OF the Race and the
To any one who las studied the laws Of
life, and especially those which relate to re.
production, an experience such as we are
about to relate, Will come with special force
and interest. The transmission of certnir
mental traits of prominence, and of certa,,
physical traits of equal prominence, are facts
which all aclnowled G, but which none car
understand. The father may be distinguished,
the son, an imbe lie; or, the aren't may be
decrepit and unknown, and the child achieve
the highest place possible to humanity. But
through it all, there will be certain charac.
teristics, which mark the individual as de
scending from certain ancestors. Too often,
indeel, these characteristics are infirmiticS,
and often of physical nature.
These facts were strikingly brought out
during conversation, which representa-
tive of this paper recently had with Mrs.
Carrie d. Il. Swift who is the wife of one OF
our prominent citizens. 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 diff.
cuties 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 hereditary
faint many years ago, in vague pains, which
seemed to come unaccountabiy and at UNI
called for times. They were annoying, ex-
duties, but also totally destroyed my happl
ness. At first, they would be only tran.
sient, 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 cur
TO my mouth Afterward, 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 confiucd to
the house and to my bed most of the tnno.
My joints aimed me continuously and my
feet swelled TO enormous proportions Know
ing that | inherited this tendency, [ had
about abandoned hope, when | began the use
of a remedy, which was recommended to me
by friend as being specially efficient in cases
of Il similar kind. To my great gratitude, |
found that it relieved me, restored my appe-
tite and am ablo to say that now | have
gained forty pounds in weight, feel perfectly
WELL and am in the best possible condition,
owing, wholly, to Warmers SAFE Rheumatic
cure, which was the remedy used"
=" No one would ever suspect you had suf
fered so, Mrs. Swift to see you now,"
remarked the reporter.
THAT is what all my friends say. Only
yesterday, an &C luaintanCo of nine, whom
had not seen for some time, hesitated before
Speaking aud apologized by saving, Why,
| really did not know on, you have changed
so for the better since l 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:n
Not the slightest. 1t was Mr.. R. H. Fur
man, the photographer
The newspaper man, after b lding Mrs.
Swift good bye, repaired to the photo
graphic rooms of Mr.. Furman, when the
following conversation ensled:
"Have you been a sufferer from rheuma-
t;sm, MIR. Furman|
"Well. l should think had"
"For how many years."
"Twelve or fifteen"
Did you try to cure itIh
''N'es, tried everything, and at last, went
to the Hot Springs of Arkansas, and moth
ing seemed to do me any good until | tried
Warmers Safe Rheumatic Cure
"And it cured you, did it,"
YES, completely
"And you can cordially recommend it,"
YES, indeed, more cor ,.ially than anything
have ever known of. 1t is simply wonder
full medicine. | believe that two thirds of all
cases, both acute and chronic, could be cured
as | was cured by the use of thi. remedy. In
fact know q number OF persons who have
been in the worst possible condition, and are
now completely well, wholly through its use"
The statements above made are from
sources, the authority of which cannot be
questioned. They conclusively prove the
value of tho preparation named and show
that even hereditary traits eau be removed
