HEREDITARY I
Some Revelations on A Subject Which
Concerns the Welfare of the Race
and tho Haup1ness OF All.

Concerns the Welfare of the Race
and the Happiness Of All.
Rochester Democrat aud Chronicle.)
To any M who has studied the laws
of life, and especially those which relate
TO reproduction, an experience such as
we are about to relate, will come with
special force and interest. The trans
mission 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 be
distinguished,-the son, an imbecile;
or, the parent may be decrepit and I'M
known, and the child achieve the high
est place possible to humanity. But
through it all, there will be certain
characteristics, which mark the individ-
ual as descending from ancestors. Too
often, indeed, these characteristics are
infirmities, and often of q physical ma
ture.
These facts were strikingly brought
out during o conversation, which q rep
resentative of this paper recently had
with Mrs. Carrie ID. Z. Swift, who is the
wife of n of our most prominent citi-
zens. This lady related thatshe inherited
from her parents certain tendencies over
which she lad nc control, and which
were in the nature of blood difficulties,
assuming the form of rheumatism. Her
experience can best be described in her
OWL words. To the writer she said:
81 felt the beginning Of this heredita-
ry faint many years ago, in vague pains,
which seemed to come u~naccountably
and at uncalled for times. They We're
annoying, eXhausting, andinterfered not
only with my duties, but also totally de-
stroyed my happiness. AT first, they
would be only transient, appearing for
a day d two, and then disappearing;
her again they wouldcome in such vio-
lent forms, that it was impossible for me
to lift a cup to my mouth. Afterwards,
my feet and hands swelled sothatit was
impossible for me to draw on my shoes
or gloves without the greatest effort. I
realized what the difficulty was, but
seemed powerless to avert it. finally
became so badthat L was confinedto the
house and to my bed most of the time.
My joints panied me continuously and
my feet swelled to enormous proper
tions. Knowing that i inherited this
tendency, I had about abandoned hope,
when l began the use of aremedy which
was recommended to me as a friend as
being specially efficient in cases offs sim
liar kind. To my great gratitude, I
found that it relieved me, restored my
appetite, and I am able to say that now
/ have gained forty pounds in weight,
feel perfectly we'll and am in the best
possible condition, owing, wholly, to
Warmers Safe Rheumatic cure, which
was the remedy 1 used.a
ono 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 hes
itated, before speaking, and apologized
by saying, why l really did not know
you, You have changed SO for the better
since | last met you, how we'll you do
look"
"Have youany objection to giving the
name OF the party who first mentioned
tulS feMeQ,y TO you! gl
"Not the slightest. It was Mr.. r. Fl.
Furman, the photographer"
The newspaper man, after bidding
Mrs. Swift goodbye, repaired to the
Photographic rooms of Mr.. Furman,
when the following conversation ensued
"Have you been a sufferer from rheu-
matism, Mr.. Furman?"
well, / should think / had.
For how many years?"
Twelve or fifteen"
"Did you ever try to cure it?"
eyes, [ tried everything, and. ut last,
went to the Hot Springs Of Arkansas,
and nothing seemed to do me any good
until ] tried Warmers Safe Rheumatic
| Cure"
"And it cured, you, did it?
Eyes, completely"
"Andyou can cordially recommend
it?"
Eyes, indeed, more cordially thartv-
thing l have ever known of. It is sim
ply q wonderful medicine. [ believe
that two-thirds of all cases, both acute
and chronic, could be cured as I was
cured by the use of this remedy. In
clct l know a number of persons who
have been in the worst possible condi-
ton, and are now completely we'll Who'll
ly 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 ofthe proper means.
