(Rochsstsr Democrat and CAroaicls.l
To any one who has studied the laws
of life, and especially those which relate
to reproduction, an experience such as
We are abous TO relate, will come with
special force and interest. The trans
mission of certain mental traits of
prominence, and of certain physical
traits of equal prominence, are facts
which all acknowledge, but which none
can understand. The father may be
distinsuished-the son. an imbecile; or
the parent may be decrepit and I'M
known. and the child achieve the highest
place possible to humanity. But through
it all, there will be certain characters
tics, which mark the individual as de-
scending from certain ancestors. Too
often, indeed, these characteristics are
inirmities, and often of d physical ma
ture.
These facts were strikingly brought
out during a conversation, which rep
resentative of this psper recently had
with Mrs. Carrie D. T. Swift, who is
the wife of one of our most prominent
citizens. The lady related that she in
herited from her parents certain tenden-
cies, over which she had no control, and
which were in the nature of blood diff
culties, assuming the form of rheuma-
tism. Her experience can best be de-
scrlbed in her own words. To the writer
she said:
Il felt the beginning of thi. herditary
faint many years ago, in vague pains,
which seemed to come unaccountably
and at uncalied for times. They were
annoying, exhausting, and interfered
not only with my duties, but also total
ly destroyed my happiness. AT first,
they would be only transient, appearing
for day or two, and then disappearing;
then again they would come in such vi
client forms, that it was impossible for
me to lift a cup to my mouth. After
wards, my feet and hands swelled SO
that it was impossible for me to draw
on my shoes or gloves without the great
est effort. / realized what the difficulty
was, but seemed powerless to avert it.
| finally became so bad that | was con-
fined to the house and to my bed most
of the time. My joints panied me con-
tinuously and my feet swelled to enor-
nous proportions. Knowing that in
herited this tendency, had about aban-
doned hope, when l began the use of a
remedy, which was recommended to me
as friend as being specially efficient

gratitude, l found that it relieved me,
restored my appetite, and l am able to
say that now l have gained forty pounds
in weight, feel perfectly we'll and am
in the best possible condition, owing

cure, which was the remedy l used"
"No one would ever suspect you had
suffered So Mrs. Swift, to see you now, .
remarked the reporter.
THAT is what all my friends say.
Only yesterday, an acquaintance of
mine, whom had not seen for some
time, hesitated, before speaking, and
apologized by say ing, Why, really did
the better sinceI 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. III
Furman, the photographer.
The newspaper man after bidding Mrs
Swift goodbye, repaired to the photo
graphic rooms of Mr.. Furman, when the
following conversation ensued:
Have you ever been a sufferer from
rheumatism, Mr.. Furman?'

For how many years.

'Did you try to cure it,
"Yes, l tried everything, and, at last,

YES, indeed, more cordially than any

The statements above made are from
sources, the authority of which cannot
be questioned. They cOnclusively prove
the value of the preparation named

can be removed by the use of the proper
means.
