1t 5 pretty rough hunting in these parts.
esIec!allv when a man goes up to his wal t
every other step
~ es, its not very pleasant, b It | am uAe4

I"How long have you hunted hereabouts. =
Nv hE. bless you, l ave lived here most OF
lly HE and hunted up TO ten years agp every
year"
"How does it hapIel YOU omitted the last
ten years."
because l was scarcey able TO move, much
less hunt"
u don't understand YOU"
well, you see, about ten years ago. after
l had been trampine around al dav il the
ZANE swamp. | tpft + mite a min in m. ankle
! didn't mind it very much but it kept
troubling ne for a day Or two, and | could
SEE that it kept incr a>ing. The next thing
knew, | felt tile same kind of a pain in my
shoulder and found it panied me to move
my arm. This thing kept going on and in
creasfng, and though l tried to shake off the
feeling and make myself think it was only a
little temporary trouble, | found that it did
not 60. 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 30 much IN this swamp
mo, | didn't know what to lay it to, but
! knew that l was in misery. My joints
sWelled unit. it seemed as though all the flesh
had left was punched at the joints; my
fingers crooked in every way, and some Of
them became double-;olnted In fact, every
JOINT In my body seemed to vie with the
othersto SEQ which could become the largest
and cause me the greatest suffering. In this
way several years lassed on, during which
time was pretty nearly helpless | became
30 nervous and sensitive that | would sit
bolstered up in the chair AID 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 burniny heat and
fever, with eccasiona! chiils running all over
my body, but especially along NY back and
through my shoulders. Then a ,aln my blood
seemed to be boiling and my brain to lie on
fire."
Didn't you try to prevent ali this agony4'
TRY! | should think l did try. | tried
every doctor that came within my reach a I'd
all the proprietary medicines could hear of.
l used washes an lnlinents enough to last
mo tor all time, but the only relief l received
wa by injections of morphine"
-"Well, you talk in q very strange manner
Tor a man who has tramped around on a day
like this and in a swamp like this, How il
the world do you dare to do it,
because l am c>;nplete.y we'll and a.
sound as a dollar. 1t may seem strange
but 1t IS true, that | was entirely cured; thu
rheumatism all driven out of my blood: m,
joints reduced to their natural size, and m,
strength made as great as ever before, b.
means OF that great aud simple remedy, War
ners Safe Rheumatic Cure, which | believ,
saved my life
"Ands SO you now nave no fear of rheuma-
tism!'
"Why, no. Even if it shouli come on.
can easily get rid of it by using the sam,
rsmedy.'
The writer turned to Lave, a it was grow
ing dark, bat before hid reached the cit,
precisely she same symptoms | had Just heart
described came upon me with great violence
Impressed Wi the hunters story, | tried tn
same remedy, and within twenty-four hour
all pain aud inflammation hal disappeared
