TO any one who has studied the laws
of life, and especially those which re.
late to reproduction, an experience
such as we are about to relate, will
come with special force and interest
The transmission of certain mental
traits of prominence, and of certain
physical traits of equal prominence, are
facts which all acknowledge, but which
none can understand. The father may
may be MISUNDERSTANDING son, an i'm.
beetle; or, the parent may be decrepit
and unknown, and the child achieve the
highest place possible to humanity
But through it all, there will be certain
characteristics, which mark the. indi-
vidual as descending from certain an
cestors. Too often, indeed, these char
acteristics are infirmities, and often of
a physical nature.
These facts were strikingly brought
out during conversation which q rep
resentative of this paper recently had
with Mrs. Carrie D. T. Swift, who is
the wife of one of our most prominent
citizens. This lady related that She in
herited from her parents certain ten
denotes, over which she had no con-
troll, 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 she said:
ssI felt the beginning of this heredi-
tary faint many years ago, in vague
pains, which seemed to come unac-
countably and at uncalled for times.
They were annoying, exhausting, and
interfered not only with my duties, but
also totally destroyed my happiness.
At first they would be only transient,
appearing for day or two and then
disappearing; 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 it was impossible for
me to draw on my shoes or gloves
without the greatest effort. I real
lied what the difficulty was, but seemed
powerless to avert it. finally became
so bad that l was confined to the house
and to my bed most of the time. Ny
joints PANIED me continuously and my
feet swelled to enormous proportions.
Knowing that inherited this tendency,
I had about abandoned hope, when L
began the use of remedy, which was
recommended to me as friend as being
specially efficient in cases of similar
kind. To my great gratitude 1 found
that it relieved me, restored my appe-
tite, and 1 am able to say that now
have gained forty pounds in weight,
feel perfectly well and am in the best
possible condition, owing, wholly, to
Warmers Safe Rheumatic cure, which
was the remedy I used.'
ssNo 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 / had not seen for some
time, hesitated before speaking, and
apologized by saying, why, really
did not know you, you have changed
so.for the better since l last met you,
how well you do look"
"Have you any objection to giving
the name of the party who first men
toned this remedy to you?'
ssNot the slightest. 1t was Mr.. R.
H. Furman, the photographer"
The newspaper man, after bidding
Mrs. Swift goodbye, repaired to the
Photographic rooms of Mr.. Furman,
when the following conversation en-
sued:
"Have you been sufferer from rheu-
matism, Mr.. FurmanP"
.sWell, should think I had"

ssTwelve or fifteen"
ssDId you try to cure it?'
eyes, 1 tried everything, and, at
last, went to the Hot Springs of Arkan-
sas, and nothing seemed to do me any
good until tried Warmers Safe Rheu-
matte Cure.''
ssAnd it cured you, did it?"
eyes, completely"
'sAnd you can cordially recommend
it?'
eyes, indeed, more cordially than
anything have ever known of. 1t is
simply wonderful medicine. l believe
that two-thirds of all cases, both acute
and chronic, could be cured as 1 was
cured by the use of this remedy. In
fact know number of persons who
have been in the worst possible con-
ditlon, and are now completely well
wholly through its use."
The statements above made are from
sources, the authority of which cannot
be questioned. They conclusively prove
the value of the preparation named and
show that even hereditary traits can be
removed by the use of the proper
