swell, while have not at all times on
5oyed good health, / am certain that the
difficulty which laid me up so long was
not malarial. It was something that bad
troubled me for years. A sbootings sting
ing pain that at times a tackled different
parts of my body. One day my right arm
and leg would torture me with pain, there
would be great Tedness, heat and swelling
of the parts; and perhaps the next day the
left arm and leg would bss similarly af-
fected. Then again It would locate IN
some particular part OF my body and pro-
duce q tenderness which would well nigh
drive me frantic. There would be weeks
at a time that ] would be afflicted with an
intermitting kind of pain that would come
on every afternoon and leave me COM
paratively free from suffering during the
balance of the twenty-fOur hours. Then l
would have terrible paroxysms Of pain
coming on at any time during the day or
night when | would be obliged to lie upon
my back for hours and keep motionless
as possible. Every time / attempted to
move a chilly sensation would pass over
my body, or would faint from hot flashes.
l suffered from spasmodic contraction of
the muscles and a soreness OF the back and
bowels, and even my eyeballs became sore
wiped my face. l became illtempered,
peevish, fretful, irritable and desperately

"Of course you consulted the doctors re-
garding your difficultyF
consulted them? well / should say |
did. Some told me had neuralgia; others
that / bad infammatory rheumatism, for
which there was no cure, that | would be
afflicted all my life, and that time alone
would mitigate my suferings."
ttBut oidn'5 they try to relieve your mis-
cries 2''t yes, they vomited and physicked
me, blistered and bled me, plas cred and
oiled me, sweat, steamed and everything
but froze me, but without avail"
"But how did you finally recoverP'
81 had a friend living in Michigan who
had been afflicted in a similar way and
L. "A linz
his recovery and advised me TO try the
remedy which cured him. / procured
bottle and commenced its use, taking
tablespoonful after each meal and at bed
time. / had used it about a week when
noticed a decrease of the soreness of the
joints aud general feeling Of relief
persevered in its use and finally got so
could move around without limplng, when
l told my FIR ends that il was Warmers
Safe Rheumatic Cure that had put me on
''And do you regard your cure as perma-
nent?v
'Certainly; / haven't been so well in
years as l am now, and although l have
| been subjected to frequent and severe
changes OF weather this winter, have not
felt the first intimation of the return OF
my rheumatic trouble"
''Do you object to the publication Of this
interview. Mr.. AshleyP'
"Not at all, sir. l look upon it as a
| duty | owe my fellow-creatures to alleviate
their sufferings so far as / am able, and
any communication regarding my symp-
toms and cure that may b. sent to me at
! DOG Maine avenue will receive prompt and
/ careful attention."
Judging from your recital, Mr.. Ashley,
! there must be wonderful curative proper
! ties about this medicine~
"Indeed there is, sir, for no man suffered
! more nor longer than did l before this
/ remedy gave me relief"
g To go back to the original subject, Mr..
| Ashley, ! suppose you sec thG same famil-
lar faces about the lobby session after ses-
| stomp
"No, not so much as you might think.
! New faces are constantly seen and old
! ones disappear The strain upon lobby
| lists is necessarily very great, and when
you add to this the demoralizing effect of
late hours and Incorporate habits aud the
fact that they are after found out in their
| steals, their disappearance can easily be
accounted for"
What proportion of these blood-biHs
are successfulY'
IA very small percentage, sir. Not
with standing the power and influence of
the lobby, but few of these vicious meas
uTes pass. Were they successful it would
be a sad commentary upon our system Of
government, and would virtually nnnihi-
late one branch of it. The great majority
of them are either Tepor ed adversely or
smothered in committee by the watchful-
ness and loyalty of our congressman"
