 TO any one who has studied the laws of life. and especially those which relate to re- production, an experience such as we are about to relate win come with special force and interest," The transmission of certain mental traits of prominence, and of certain physical traits of equal prominence arc facts which all acknowledge, but which none can understand. The father may be distlnguished, the son, an imbecile; or, the aren't may @ oe decrepit and unknown, and the child achieve the highest place possible to humanity. but through it all, there will be certain charac- teristios. which mark the individual as de- scending from certain ancestors. Too often, indeed, these characteristics are inhrmties, and often of a physical nature. ...
 These facts were strikingly brought ouV during a conversation which representa- tive of this paper recently had with Mrs Carrie D. T. Swift, who Is the wife of one ot our 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 difii- entities assuming the form of rheumatism. Her experience can best be described in her own words To the writer she said:
 sI felt the beginning of this hereditary taint many years ago, in vague pains, which seemed to come unaccountably and at un- called for times. They were annoying, ex- hausting, and interfered not only with my duties but also totally destroyed my happi ness, At first, they would be only tran sient, appearing for day or two . ana then disappearing then again they would come in such violent forms that it was impossible for me to lift cup 10 my mouth. Afterward, my feet and hands swelled SO that it 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 bad that was confined to the house and to my bed most of the time. My joints pained me continuously and my feet swelled to enormous proportions Know, ing that I inherited this tendency, had about abandoned hope, when began the use of a remedy, which was recommended to me by a friend as being specially efficient in eases of similar kind. To my great gratitude, l found that it relieved me, restored my appe- tite, and l am. able to say that now have | gained forty rounds in weight, feel perfectly well, and am in the best possible condition owing, wholly, to Warmers Safe Rheumatic | cure, which was the remedy used.
 "N No one would ever suspect you had sui | fered 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, hesitated, before { speaking. and apologized by saying, Why, | I really did not know you, you have changed so for the better since l last met you, how well you do LOOK. Al, name of the party who first mentioned thi | remedy to youh
 i" Not the slightest. It was Mir. R. H. Fur man, the photographer"
 The newspaper man, after bidding Mrs | Swift goodbye, repaired to the photo | graphic rooms of Mir. Furman, when tht following conversation epsued:
 "Have you been a sufferer from rheuma tism, Mir. Furmanp

 "Yes, tried everything, and at last, weni to the Hot Springs of Arkansas, and noth | ing seemed to do me any good until l trlet Warmers Safe Rheumatic Cure" l "And it cured you, did iti"
 "Yes, completely .
 "And you can cordially recommend itl'
 "Yes, indeed, more cordially than anythinl | have ever known of. Itis simply wonder ful medicine. believe that two-thirds of al cases, both acute and chronic, could be cure' as was cured by the use of this remedy. h fact, l know a number of persons who hav
 been in the worst possible condition, and ar, now completely well, wholly through its use
 The statements above made are iron sources, the authority of which cannot b questioned. They eonclusively prove th
 value of the preparation named and shoy that even hereditary traits can be remeye' | by the use of the proper means.-hocheste | Ie,nOcr0f 0nd Chronicle.
