Correspondence Spirit Of the 7imes.)
An unusual adventure which recently
occurred to your co-rsspon lent while huni-
ing ut Brookmere in this Stat is 50 timely
and contains so much that can be made
valuable 10 all readers, that I venture to
reproduce il entire:
The day was a most Indictment one and
the snow quite de p. Rabbit tracks were
direction of a In ge swamp, In which the
rabbits could run without difficulty, but
where the hunter constan IL broke through
the thin zee. sin king into the haif-froxen
m;re TO his knees. Notwiths anding these
difficulties, the writer had perseveroi. al
though a very small lag Of game was the
result. While traInpipg about through
particularly mslarial portion o, the swamp,
a middle aged man suddenly came in O
view carrying a uzzie loading sho' gun
and completely loaded down with game of
the finest description Natural curios ity,
aside from the involuntary envy that In
stinctively arose, prompt. d the writer to
enter into conversation with the man, " ith
the following result:
you've hnd fine success, where did you
get ali that gamep
hight Lere, in the swamp"
las pref v rough hunting in these parts,
especially when man goes up to his waist
every other STEP"
, Il
used to il and dom mind it."
sHow long have you hunts d hereahoutsf' ~
"Why, Hess you, / have lived here most
Of my life and hunted up to Ten years ago
every year."
-, "how does i happen you omitted the
Because was scarcely able to move,
much | hunt"
Il don't understand yousn
ell, yDu see, abou, ten years ago, aft
or had Teen tram nins around all day in
this same swamp, selt quite pain in my
ankle. / didn't mind it very much, but Il
kept troub ing me for n day or two, and
could see that it kept increasing. The next
thing i knew, fell the same kind of a pain
in my shoulder and found it panied me
TO move my arm. This thing kept going
on and Increasing, and though tried TO
shake eff the feeling and make my elf think
1t was only little tempo airy trouble,
found that it did not 60. Shortly after Thu
my joints began to ache a. the knees and
| finally became SO bad Il at l ad to remain
| III the house most of the time"
"And did you trace all this to the fact that
you had hunie so much in this swamp?n
"No, didn't know what 10 lay it to, but
knew tha' was in misery. My joints
swell. d until it seemed as though all the
| fl sh / had left was punched at the join /:
| my fingers crooked in every way and some
of them became d uhle- joint ed. In faot,
every joint in nv body seemed to vie with
tie others to see which could become the
| largest and cause me the greatest suffer
| Ing. In this way several years passed on,
during which time l was pretty nearly
| h lpless. became so nervous and sensi-
| tive that | would sit bolstered up in the
chair and call TO PEOPLE that en- cred the
| room not 10 come near me, or even touch
| my chair. While this was going on, /
| felt an awful burning heat and fever, with
occasional chills running all over my body,
but especial along my back and through
my shoulders. Then again my blood seemed
| TO be boiling and my Train 10 be on fire"
Didn't yod try to prevent all this
| agonyr'
"1Iy. should think ] did try. tried
| every or that came with n my reach
| aud all the proprietary medi, ines could
hear OF. i used washes and linimcnts
enough to last me for all time, but the only
| relief rec lived was by injections of NOR
| phine."
Well, you talk IN very strange man
ner Tor q man who has tramped around o.
day like tails and in a swamp like this
! how in the world do you dare to do IT.?
Because l am completely well and q,
! sound a dollar. 1t nay seem strange
| but II / t ue that was entirely cured; I'll,
| rheumatism all driven out of my blood; my
| joins reduced to their natural size and m
strength made as great as ever before, by
| means of at Grea: and simple remedy
Warmers Safe Rheumatic Cure, which
bsiieve saved my life"
And so you now have no fear of rheu
| matism?'
Nv by, no. Even if it should come on,
can easily get rid Of it by using the san
| remedy"
The writer tur ell to leave, as 1t wa,
growing dark, but before hadr ached tn
