ana unknown, and the child achieve the
highest place possible TO humanity. But
through IL all, there will be certain charac.
teristics, which mark the individual as de-
scending from certain ancestors. Too
often; indeed, these characteristics arc in
hrmities, and often of q physical nature.
These facts were strilSingly brought out
during conversation, which representa-
tive OF this paper recently had with Mrs.
Carrie ID. I. Swift, who is the wife of one
OF our most prominenC 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 difficulties, assuming the form of
rheumatism. Her experience can best be
described IN her own words. To the writer

with my duties, but also totally DESTROYED
my happiness. AT first, they would be
only transient, appearing for day ortwo,
ana then disappearinRi then again they
would come in such violent forms, that It
was impossible for me to lift cup to my
mouth. Afterwards, my feet and hands
swelled so that IL was impossible for me to

kind. To my great gratitude, found that
IL relieved me, restored my appetite, and
am able TO say that now / have gained
forty pounds IN weight, feel perfectly well
and am in the best possible condition, ow.

cure, which was the remedy 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
l mad not seen for some time, hesitated, be-
lore speaking, and apologized by saying:
Why, really did not know you, you have
changed so for the better since last met
you, how we'll you do look"
Have you any objection to giving the
name OF the party who first mentioned this
remedy to youP

Furman, the photographer"
The newspaper man, after bidding Mrs.
swift goodbye, repaired to the photo

The statements above made are from
sources, the authority Of which can not 10

value OF the preparation named and show
that even hereditary traits can be removed
by the use OF the proper means.
