To any one who has studied the laws of
life, and especially those which relate to
reproduction, an experience such as we are
about to relate. will cpme with special force
aud interest The transmission 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 and son, an imbecilc; or,
| the parent may be decrepit and unknown,
| and the child achieve the highest place pos.
siUle TO humanity. But through it ali, there
will be certain characteristics, which mark
the individual as descending from certain
! ancestors. Too often, indeed these chnrnct-
! eristics are iniirmities, and often of a physi.
! cal nature.
These facts we're strikingly brought out
! during conversation, which a representa-
! tive of this paper recently had with Mrs
| Carrie D T Swift, who is the wilc Of one o f
our most prominent citizens. This lady
| related that she inherited from her parents
certain tendencies, over which she had no
control, and which were in the nature Of
| blood difficulties, assuming the form o.
|
! described in her own words. To the writer
| she said:
al felt the beginning of this hereditary
taInt many years ago,in vague pains, which
| seemed to come uuaccnuntably aud at un
called for times. They were annoying
| cXhausting, aud ntcrlered not only with
my duties, but alsn totally destroyed my
happiness. AT first, thev would be only
transient, appearing for day or two, and
then disappearing; then again they would
come in such violent forms, that IL was i'm
possible for me to lit cup to my mouth
Afterwards. my feet aud hands swelled so
that il was impossible for me to draw on
my shoes or gloves without the greatest
efnrt. realized what the difficulty wns,
but seemed powerless to avert it. | finally
became SO bad that was confined to the
house and to my bed most Of the time. Nv
joints pained me continuously ami my feet
svelled to enormous proportions knowing
that Inherited this tendency, had about
abandoned hope, when began the use of .
! remedy, which was recommended to me as
friend as being speciI lily efficient in cases
of a similar kind. To my great gratitude,
| found that it relieved me. restored my
appetite, and am able TO say that now
have gained forty pounds in weight, feel
perfectly well and am IN the best possible
condition, owing, wholly, to Warmers Safe
Rheumatic cure, which was the remedy |
used"
ono one would ever suspect you had suf
Tered so,Mrs Swiit,tO see you now remark
ed the reporter
"That is what all my friends say. Only
yesterday, an acquaintance of mine whom
| had not seen for some time, hestated, be
fore speaking, and apologized by saying.

changed so fhr the better since | last met
YOU, how well you do louk'
"Haye you any objection to giving the
name Of the party who first mentioned this
remedy to your"
"NoI the slightest 1t was Mr.. R. II. Fur
man, the photographer"
The newspaper man, after bidding Mrs.
Swift good bye,repaired to the photographs
rooms of Mr.. Furman, when the following
conversation ensued:
"Have you been a sufferer from rheuma-
tism, Mr.. Furman?"
"Well. should think had"
! "For how many years?"
Twelve or fifteen"
"Did you try to cure it,"
"Yes, tried everything, and, at last
went to the Hot Springs of Arkansas, and
nothing seemed to do the any good until
5 tried Warmers Safe Rheumatic Cure"
"Anh it cured you. did it?"
ayes, completely"
5 "And you can cordially recommend it?"
3 'Ye9, in Iced more cord aly than anything
| have ever known Of. 1t is simply a wond-
eriul medicine | believe that two thirds
5 ol the CAGES, both acute and chronic, could
be cured as was cured by the use OF this
remedy. In fact know a number of per.
{ sons who have been in the worst possible
condition, and are now completely well
wholly through its use"
Tho statements aboye made are from
sources, the authority Of which cannot bC
l questioned. They conclusyely prove Tho
| value Of the PREPARATION named and show
that even hereditary traits can be removed
by the use of the proper means.
