some serious prostrating disorder.  These troubles increased.  I felt dull and then, again, shooting pains through my arms and limbs.  Possibly the next day I would feel flushed and unaccountably uneasy and the day following chilly and despondent.  This continued until last December, when I was prostrated soon after leaving Queenstown, and for the remainder of the voyage was a helpless, pitiful sufferer.  In January last, a friend who made that voyage with me, wrote me a letter urging me to try a new course of treatment.  I gladly accepted his counsel, and for the last seven months have given thorough and business-like attention to the recovery of my natural health; and to-day I have the proud satisfaction of saying to you that the lame back, the strange feeling, the sciatic rheumatism which have so long pursued me, have entirely disappeared through the blood purifying influence of Warner’s Safe Rheumatic Cure which entirely eradicated all rheumatic poison from my system.  Indeed, to me, it seems that it has worked wonders, and I therefore most cordially commend it.”

“And you have no trouble now in exposing yourself to the winds of the Atlantic?”

“Not the least.  I am as sound as a bullet and I feel specially thankful over the fact because I believe rheumatic and kidney disease is in the blood of my family.  I was dreadfully shocked on my last arrival in Liverpool to learn that my brother, who is a wealthy China tea merchant, had suddenly died of Bright’s disease of the kidneys, and consider myself extremely fortunate in having taken my trouble in time and before any more serious effects were possible.”

The conversation drifted to other topics, and as the writer watched the face before him, so strong in all its outlines, and yet so genial, and thought of the innumerable exposures and hardships to which its owner had been exposed, he instinctively wished all Rheumatic Cure which entirely eradicated who are suffering from the terrible rheumatic troubles now so common might know of Captain Murray’s experience and the means by which he had been restored.  Pain is a common thing in this world, but far too many endure it when they might just as well avoid it.  It is a false philosophy which teaches us to endure when we can just as readily avoid.  So thought the hearty captain of the Alaska, so thinks the writer, and so should all others think who desire happiness and a long life.
