A HUNTERS STORY.
How He WINS Overcome and the Way bS
Which lie was Finally Snyed.

! An unusual adventure which recently oc-
| CURED TO your correspondent while hunting
at Brookmere, in this State, is 30 timely and
| contains so much that can he made Valuable
| to all readers, that venture TO reproduce II
entire:
| The day was a most inclement one and the
snow quite deep. Rabbit tracks were plenti-
full, but they principally led IN the direction
OF large swamp, in which the rabbits
| could run without difficulty, but where the
hunter constantly broke through the thin
ice sinking into the half mire to his
knees. Notwithstanding these difficulties,
the writer had persevered, although
very small bag Of game was
the result. While tramping about through
particularly malarial portion OF tho
swamp, a middle aged man suddenly came
into view carrying a muzzle-lOading shotgun
and completely loaded down with game OF
the finest description. Natural curloity,
aside from the Involuntary envy that in
stlnctlvely arose, prompted the writer TO ell
tr into conversation with the man, with tho
following result
You've had fine success, where did you
get all that gamef
Right here, in the swamp"
Its pretty rough hunting in these parts,
especially when man goes up to his waist
every other STEP
Yes, it's not very pleasant, but am used
to 1t and don't mind it,"
How long have you hunted hereabouts. I"
"Wly, bless you, have lived here most Of
my life and hunted up TO ten years ago every
year,
"How does it happen you omitted the last
ten yearsn
"lie ause | was scarcely able to move, much
less hunt
~ don't understand youi"
wei, you see, about ten years ago, after
had been tramping around all day IN the
same swamp, felt quite pain in my ankle.
J didn't mind it very much, but IL kept
troubling me for day or two, and | could
Gee that it kept increasing. The next thing |
knew, felt the same Kind of a pain In my
shoulder aud found it panied me to move
my arm. This thing kept going on and In
creasing, and though tried to shake OFF the
feeling and make myself think it was only a
little temporary trouble | found that it did
not go. Shortly after this my joints began
TO ache at the knees and finally became so
lad that had to remain in the house most Of
the time
And did you trace all this to the fact that
you had hunted 50 much in this swamp,
mo, didn't know what 10 lay it to, but
i knew that | was in misery. My joints
swelled until it seemed as though all the flesh
had left was bunchel Mt the Joints my
fingers crooked In every way, and some Of
them became double jointed 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 Iassed on, during which
time was pretty nearly helpless became
50 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 on, felt nm awful burning heat and
fever, with occa'ionaI chills III ming all over
my body, but especially along my back and
through my shoulders. Then again my blood
seemed to he boiling and my brain TO he on
fire.
didn't you try TO prevent all this agonyfn
"Tryl should think | did try. | tried
every doctor chat came within my reach and
all the proprietary medicines | could hear Of.
used washes AMI llnilnentS enough to last
me Tor all time, but the only relief | received
was by injections Of morphine"
'Well, you talk In very strange manner
for man who has tramped around on a dny
like this and in swamp like this. How in
the world do you dare TO do itf'
"Because | am completely well and a.
sound rs n dollar. 1t may seem strange.
but it is true, that | was entirely cured. the
joints reduced 10 their natural Size, and nv
strength made as great as ever before. by
means of that great and simple remedy, War
ner's Safe Rheumatic Cure, which lbelieve
saved my life
" And 50 you now have no fear Of rheuma-
tismH
"Why, no. Even If it should come on 7
can easily get rid of it by using the same
remedy
The writer turned to leave, az IL was grow
Ing dark, but before | had reached the city
precisely she same symptoms had lust heard
described came upon me with great violence,
Impressed with he hunters story, | tried the
same remedy, and within twenty-four hours
all pain aud Inflammation had disappeared,
II any render is suffering from any manner
OF rheumatic or neuralgia troubles and de-
sires relief let him by all means try this same
great remedy. And if any readers doubt tho
truth OF the above incident or It's statements
let them write to A. "A. Coates, Brookmere
n. v, who was the man with whom the
writer conversed, and convince themselves Of
its truth or falsity. J.R.C,
