Some Revelations on Subject Which
Concerns the Welfare of the Race and
the Happiness of All.
Rochester Democrat and ChronicleJ
To any one who has studied the laws of life,
and especially those which relate to repro
duction, an experience such as we are about TO
relate, will come with special force and inter
est. The transmission of certain mental traits
of prominence, and OF certain physical traits of
equal prominence, are facts which all acknowi-
edge but which none can understand. The father
may be distinguished, -the son, an imbeciIe;
or, the parent may be decrepit and unknown and
the child achieve the highest place possible to
humanity. But through it all, there will be GER
tam characteristics, which mark the individual
as descending from certain ancestors. Too
often, Indeed, these characteristics are infrmi-
ties and often OF physical nature.
These facts were strikIngly brought out dur
ing conversation, which a representative OF
this paper recently had with Mrs. Carrie d. L.
Swift, who is the wife of one of our prominent
citizens, This lady related that she inherited
from her parents certain tendencies over which
she hadno CONTROL and which were in the
nature of blood difficulties, assuming the form
OF rheumatism. Her experience can best be
described in her own words. 10 the writer she
said:
81 felt the beginning Of this hereditary faint
many years ago, IN vague palms, which seemed
to come unaccOuntably and at uncalled for
times. They were annoying, exhausting, and
lnterfered not only with my duties, but also
totally destroyed my happiness. At first, they
would be only transient, appearing for day or
two, and then disappearing; then again they
would come In such violent forms that it WAS
impossible for me to lift a cuu to my mouth.
Afterwards, my feet and hands sWelled so that
1t was impossible for me to draw on my shoes
or gloves without the greatest effort I real
lied what the difficulty WAS, but seemed power
less to avert it. finally became SO bad that l
was confined to the house and to my bed most
of the time. My joints panied me continuous
ly and my feet swelled to enormous proper
lions, knowing that inherited this tendency,
l had about abandoned hope, when began the
use of remedy which was recommended to
me by friend as being specially efficient in
cases of q similar kind To my great graft
tude, l 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"
'No one would ever suspect you had suffered
so, Mrs. Swift. to see you now," remarked the
reporter.
THAT is what all my friends say. Only yes
terday, an acquaintance of mine, whom had
not seen for some time, hesitated before speak
ing, 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"
''Have you any objection to giving the name
of the first party who mentioned this remedy to
you2"
mot the slightest. 1t was Mr.. Il. II. Fur
man. the photographer"
The newspaper man, after bidding Mrs. Swift
goodbye, repaired to the Photographic rooms
of Mr.. Furman, when the following converse
lion ensued:
''Haye you been sufferer from Rheumatism.
Mr.. turman?'
''Well, [ should think had"
''For many years?"
Twelve or fifteen years."
Ibid you try to cure it?"
Eyes, L tried everything, and at last went to
Hot Springs Of Arkansas, and nothing seemed
to do me any good until tried Warmers Safe
Rheumatic Cure"
80 And it cured you, did h?"
"Yes, completely"
land you can cordially recommend it?"
eyes, indeed more cordially than anything
have ever known of. 1t is simply wonderful
medicine. l believe that two-thrds Of all cases
both acute and chronic, could be cured as |
was cured blythe use of this remedy. In fact
know OF anumber of persons who have been in
the worst possible condition, and are now
completely well wholly through its use.
The statements above made are from sources
the authority of which cannot be questioned.
They conclusively prove the value of the prep
aratlon named and show that even hereditary
traits can be removed by the use Of the proper
means.
