by Which he was Finally Saved.
Correspondence Spirit of the Times.
An unusual adventure which recently
occurred to your correspondent while
hunting at Brookmere in this state is SO
timely and contains SO much that can be
made valuable to all readers, that l ven
.nre to reproduce 1t entire:
The day was a most Indictment one and
The snow quite deep. Rabbit tracks
we're plentiful, but they principally led
n the direction of a large swamp, in
which the rabbits could run without diff
fculty. but where the hunter constantly
broke through the thin ice, sinking into
the half-frozen mire to his knees. Not
w~ithstanding these difficulties, the writ
nr had preserved, although a very small
bag of game was h result. While
tramping about through a particularly
malarial portion of the swamp, a middle
aged man suddenly came into view, car
rving q muzzle loading shot gun and com
pletely loaded down with game of the
finest description. Natural curiosity,
aside from the involuntary envy that
lnstinctively arose, prompted The writer
to enter into onv Mtion with the man,
with the following result:
you've had fine success, where did
you get all that gamer"
"Right here, in the swamp."

used to it and don't mind it."
Glow long have yon hunted here

"Why, bless you, J have lived mere
years ago every year."
"How d oes it happen you omitted the
last ten years."
Because | was scarcely able to move,
:nuch less hunt"
II don't understand you?"
"Well, you see, about ten years ago,
after I had been tram pingaround all day
in this same swamp, l felt quite a pain in
my ankle. | didn't mind it very much,
but it kept troubling me for a day or two,
and l could see it kept increasing. The
next thing / knew, | felt the same kind
OF a pain in my shoulder AMI ! found il

kept going on and increasing, and though

myself think it was only a little temper.

Shortly after this my joints began to ache
at the knees and l finally became SO bad
that l had to re main i'll the house most
| of the time"
"And did you trace all this to the fact
that you had hunted go much in this
swamp"
mo. l didn't know what TO lay it to.
out | knew that l was in misery. My
Joints swe!led until it seemed as though
all the flesh | had left was punched ut
the joints; my fingers crooked in every
way and some OF them became double
jointed. In iact, 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 l was pretty nearly helpless,
| became so nervous and sensitive that
l would sit bolstered up in the chair
and call people that entered the room
not to csme ear me or ever touch my
chair. While all this WAS going on, I
felt an awful burning he It and fever,
with occasional chills running all over
NY body, but especially along my back
and through my shoulders. Then again
my blood seemed to be boiling and my
brain 10 be on fire."
Didn't you try to prevent all this
agony?"
"Try. I should think I did try. l tried
every doctor that came within my reach
and all the proprietary medicines l could
hear OF. | 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 man
ner for a man, who has tramped around
on a day like this and in q swamp like
this. How in the world do you dare do
it?"
Because I am completely we'll and
sound as a dollar. 1t may seem strange,
but it is true that | was entirely cured;
the rheumatism all driven out, of my
blood; my joint reduced to their nat.

"And so you now have 70 fear ofrheu-

"Why no. EVENT. it should come on

remedy"
The writer turned to leave, as it wa!

and within twenty-four hours all pail
