Inherited
Diseases.

In the realm of disease the facts of in.
heritance are most numerous and are daily
accommodating. Here, alas, they become ter
rible fateful and overwhelming. No fact OF
nature is more pregnant with awful mean
ing than the fact of the inheritance of
disease. 1t meets the physician on his daily
rounds, paralyzing his art and filling him
with dismay. The legend Of the ancient
Greeks pictures the Furies as pursuing
families from generation to generation,
rendering them desolate. The Furies still
ply their work of terror and death, but they
are not now clothed in the garb Of supersti-
ton, but appear in the more Ineligible but
no less awful form of hereditary disease.
Modern science, which has illuminated so
many dark corners of nature has shed a
new light on the ominous words of the
Scriptures, 1.-THE sins of the fathers shall be
visited upon the children unto the third and
fourth generation" Instances Of hereditary
disease abound. Fifty per cent. Of cases Of
consumption, that fearful destroyer of fami-
lies. Of cancer and scrofula, run in families
through inheritance. Insanity is hereditary
in marked degree, but, fortunately, like
many other hereditary diseases. tends to
wear itself out, the stock becoming extinct.
A distinguished scientist truly says: "No
organ or texture Of the body is exempt from
the chance Of being the subject of hereditary
disease" Probably more chronic diseases,
which permanently modify the structure
and functions Of the body, are more or less
liable to be inherited. The important and
far-reaching practical deductions from such
facts affecting so powerfully the happiness
Of individuals and families and the collective
welfare Of the nation-are obvious to reflec
ting minds, and the best means for prevent
ing or curing these diseases is a subject of
intense interest to all. Fortunately nature
has provided remedy, which experience
has attested as infallible, and the remedy is
the world-famous Swift's Specific, a pure
vegetable compound-nature's antidote for
all blood poisons. To the afflicted it is a
blessing of fnestimable value. An interest
