rely 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.
