An unusual adventure which recently oc-
CURED to your correspondent while hunt
ing at Brookmere ip this state is so timely and
contains SO much that can be made valuable
to all resders, that venture to reproduce it
| entire:
The day was most inclement one and the
snow quite deep. Rabbit tracks were plentiful,
but they principally led in the direction Of a
| large swamp. in which the rabbits could run
without difficulty, but where the hunter con-
stantly broke through the thin ice, sinking in
| to the hsif-frozen mire to his knees. Notwlth-
standing these difficulties, the writer had per-
severed. although very email bag ofgsme was
the result While trsmping about through q
particularly mslarial portion of the swamp, a
middle aged man suddenly came into view,
CARRYING muzzle loading shot gun and COM
pleteiy loaded down with game OF the finest
description. Natural curiosity, aside from the iu-
vo!un. ary envy that inshnctiyey arose, prompt
ed the Yriter to enter into conversation with
the man, with the following result:
"Youve had fine success, where did you get
all that gamer"
Fright here in the swamp"
ITS pretty rough hunting in these parts, es-
pecally when man goes up to his waist every
other STEP"
"Yes, it's not very pleasant, but am used
to it and don't mind it,"
'sWhy, bless you, have lived here most of
my life and hunted up to ten years ago every
year."
"HoT does itihappen you omitted the last
ten ysars2"
because was unable to move, much less
hunt"
81 don't understand you"
''Well, You see, about ten years ago, after I
he'd been trampi G al onnd all day in this same
swamp, felt quite pain in my ankle.
didn't mind it very much, but it kept troubling
me for day or two, and could see that It
Kept increasing, The next thing knew, felt
the same kind of pain in my shoulder and l
found it panied me to move my arm. This thing
kept going on and increasing, and though /
tIied to shake off the feeling and make myself
think it was only little temporary trouble,
found that 1t did not go. Shortly after this
my joints began to ache at the knees and fin
ally became SO bad thst 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 swamp"
mo, didn't know what to lay it to. but
unew that was in misery. My joints swslled
until 1t seemed as though all the flesh had
left was punched at the joints; my fingers
crooked in every way aud some of them became
doubej jolntcd. 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
Dearly helpless. I 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 op, felt an awful
burning heat and fever, with occasional chills
my back and through my shoulders. Then
again my blood seemed to be boiling and nv
brain to be on fire."
Didn't you try to prevent all this agony2"
CRY, should think did try. tried every
docter that came within my reach and all tho
proprietary medicines could hear of. 1 used
washes and liniments enough to last me for
all time, but the only relief I received was by
injections of morphine"
swell, you talk in very strange manner
Tor man, who has tramped around on day
like this and in swamp like this. How in the
world doyou dare to do it?"
"Because am completely well and as sound
as dollar. 1t may seem strange, but it is
true that was entil ely 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, Warmers Safe Rheumatic
Cure, which believe saved my life."
''And SO you now have no fear of rheuma-
tsm."
'sWhy, no, even il it should come on, I can
easily get nd Of it by using the same remedy"
The writer turned to leave as it was grow
ing dark, but before 1 had reached the city
precisely the same symptoms had just heard
described came upon me with great violence.
Impressed with the hunters story, tried the
same remedy, and within of twenty-fo hours
all the pain and Inflammation had disappeared.
