entire:
The day was most inclemeut one and the
snow quite deep. Rabbit tracks were plenti-
full, but they principally led in the direction
of a large swamp, in which the rabbits
could run without difficulty, but where the
hunter constantly broke through the thin
ice, sinking into the half frozen miro TO his
knees. Notwithstanding these difficulties,
the writer had persevered, although
the result. While tramping about through
particularly malaral portion of the
swamp, middle-aged man suddenly came
into view, carrying a muzzle-loadiug shotgun
and completely loaded down with game of
the finest description. Natural curiosity,
aside from the involuntary envy that in
stinctively arose, prompted the writer TO en-
ter into conversation with the man, with the
following result.
you've bad fine success, whore did you
get all that gamel
"Right here, in the swamp"
''lts pretty rough hunting in these parts,
especially when man goes up to his waist
every other STEP
"Nes, it's not very pleasant, but am used
TO it and don't mind it.n
"How long have YOU hunted hereaboutsn
"Why, bless you, have lived here most Of
my life and hunted up to ten years ago ever
year.
"How does it happen you omitted the last
ten years,n
Because was scarcely able to move, much
less hunt
81 don't understand YOUR
"Well, you see, about ten years ago, after
had been tramping around all day in the
same swamp, ielt quite n pain in my ankle
| DIDN'T mind it very much, but it kept
troubling mo for day or two, and | could
see that it kept increasing. The next thing
knew, felt the same kind of a pain in my
shoulder and found it panied me to move
my arm. This thing kept going on and in-
creaSing, and though tried to shake off the
feeling and make myself think it was only a
little temporary trouble, | found that it did
not go. Shortly after this my joints began
to ache at the knees and finally became so
BAD that l had to remain in the house most of
| the time
And did you trace all this to the fact that
! you had hunted so much in this swampn
! 'No, didn't know what to lay it TO, but
| knew that ! was in misery My joints
swelled until it seemed rs though all the flesh
| had left was punched at the joints; my
! 1ngers crooked in every way, and some of
shem became doub.e-jolnted. 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 / was pretty nearly helpless | 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 anG
| fever, with occasional chils running all over
my body, but especially along my back ana
through my shoulders Then again my blood
seemed to be boiling and my brain to be on
fire.
Didn't ycu try to prevent all this agonyl"
"Try! / should think l did try. l tried
every doctor that came within my reach and
all the proprietary medicines | could hear of
used washes anu liniments enough to last
me tor all time, but the only relief | received
was by injections of morphine"
"Well, you talk in very strange manner
for q man who has tramped around on day
like this and in a swamp like this. How in
the world do you dare to do it!n
Because l am completely well and as
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
Joints reduced to their natural size. and my
strength made as great as ever before, by
means of that great and simple remedy, W ar
ners Safe Rheumatic Cure, which believe
saved my life
"And SO you now have no fear of rheuma-
tism"
"Why, no. Even if it should come on,
can easily get rid Of it by using the sam'
remedy"
The writer turned to leave, as it was grow
ing dark, but before l had reached the city
precisely she same symptoms had Just hearl
described came upon me with great violence
: Impressed with the hunters story, tried tn
same remedy, and within twenty-four hour
all pain and Inflammation had disappeared
