McCook weekly tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 188?-1886, 1884-02-21

die aged man suddenly came INTO view,
carrying muzzle loading shotgun and
completely loaded down with game of
the finest description. Natural curios-
ity, aside from the involuntary envy
that instinctively arose, prompted the
writer to enter into conversation
the man, with the following result
"You've had fine success; whe
you get all that gamcP"
"Right here, in the swamp"
.sIt's pretty rough hunting in
parts, especially when a man 60
to his waist every other STEP"
ayes, it's not very pleasant, bu
used to it and don't mind it."
s'How long have you hunted
boutsp"
"Why, bless you, I have lived
most of my life and hunted up
years ago every year"
show does it happen you ON. ed
the last ten years?"
"Because 1 was scarcely able to
move, much less hunt
81 don't understand YOU"
swell, you see, about ten years ago,
after had been tramping around all
day in this same swamp, felt quite a
pain in my ankle. 1 didn't mind it
very much, but it kept troubling me
for a day or two, and could see that
it kept Increasing. The next thing l
knew. I felt the same kind of pain in
nv shoulder and found it panied me
to move my arm. This thing kept 60
ing on and Increasing, and though l
tried to shakeoff the feeling and make
myself think it was only little tempo
rary trouble, 1 found that it did not 20.
Shortly after this my joints began to
ache at tae knees and finally became
so bad ;hat had to remain in the house
most Of the time.''
"tnd did you trace all this to the
fat that you had hunted so much in
this swamp?''
"No, l 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 fingers crooked in every
way and some of them became double
iointed. 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 I was pretty nearly helpless.
I became so 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 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 ard my brain to be on fire."
''Didn't you try to prevent all this
agony"
"Try. should think did try. 1
tried every doctor that came within my
reach and all the proprietary medi-
cines l could hear of. l used washes
and liniments enough to last me for all
time, but the only relief received was
by injections of morphine"
"Well, you talk in a very strange
manner for 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 it?''
because I am completely well and
as sound as dollar. It 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, Warmers
Safe Rheumatic cure, which I believe
saved my life.''
Sand SO you now have no fear of
rheumatism?''
"Why, no. Even if it should come
on, can easily get rid of it by using
the same remedy"
The writer turned to leave, as it was
growing dark, but before had reached
the city precisely the same symptoms 1
had just heard described came upon me
with great violence. Impressed with
the hunters story, tried the same
remedy, and within twenty-four hours
all pain and inflammation had disap-
peared. Ifany readeris suffering from
any manner of rheumatic or neuralgia
troubles and desires relief let him by all
means try this same great remedy.
And if any readers doubt the truth of
the above incident or its statements let
them write to A. A. Coates, Brookmere,
N. Y, who was the man with whom the
writer eonversed, and convince them
selves of its truth or falslty.
