To any ons who has studied She laws of
life, and especially those which relate to
reproduction, an experience such as we
are about to relate, will como with special
force and interest Tho transmission of
certain mental traits OF prominence, and
OF certain physical traits of equal promi-
nence, are facts which all acknowledge,
but winch mono can understand. Tho Ia
ther may be disting uished-the son, an
lmoeel4ei or, the parent may be decrepit
and unknown, and the child achieve the
hlghess place possible to humanity. But
through 1t all, there will be certain charaC-
terlst!cs, which mark the individual as de-
seeming from certain ancestors. Too
often, indeed, these characteristics are in
hrmltAes, and often OF physical nature.
Ihese facts were Strikingly brought out
during a Conversation, which a representa-
tive OF This paper recently had with Mrs.
Carrie u. 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 tho nature of
blood difficulties, assuming the form of
| rheumatism. Her experience can best be
described in her own words. To the writer
she said:
II felt tho beginning of this hereditary
| taint many years ago, in vague pains,
which seemed to come unaccountably and
| at uncalled for times. They were annoy
ing, exhausting, and interfered not only
| with my duties, but also totally destroyed
my happiness. At first, they would be
only trs1sient, appearing for day ortwo,
and Chen disappearing; then again they

mouth. Afterwards, my feet and hands
swelled sothat it was impossible for me to
draw on my shoes or gloves without tho

Guilty was, bit seemed powerless to avert
it. finally became so bad that was con-
fined to the house and to my bed most OF
the time. hyioints panied me continuous
ly and my fec swelled to enormous pro-
portions, knowing that ! inherited this
tendency, l had about abandoned hope,
when l began the use of remedy, which
was recommended to me as a friend as be-
ing specially efficient in cases of a similar
kind. To my great gratitude, l found that
it 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-
ing, wholly, TO Wsrner's Safe Rheumatic
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 had not seen for some time, hesitated, be-
fore speaking, and apol0gized by saying:
Why, | really did not know you, you have
changed so for the bitter since | last met
you, how well you O'clock"
Have you any objection to giving the

remedy to you~
Not the slightest. 1t was Mr.. r. H.
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 been a sufferer from rheuma-
tism, Mir. Furmanw
"Wel, l should think I had"
For how many years."
"Twelve OF fifteen"
odd you try to cure it?'
Yes, | tried everything, and, at last,
went to the Hot Springs of Arkansas, and
nothing seemed to do me any good until I
tried Warmers Safe Rheumatic Cure"
" And it cured you, did it?'
Eyes, completely"
And you can cordially recommend itW
" Ies, indeed, more cordially than any
thing | have ever known of. It is simply
a wonderful medicine. l believe that two
thirds OF all cases, both acute and chronic,
could DO cured as | was cured by the use 0 t
this remedy. In fact 1 know a number OF
persons who have been in the worst posi-
bic condition, and are now completely well
wholly through its use"
