BETTER THAI A GOLDEN LEG.

-
"Miss Kilmansegg and her golden leg,n
will never be forgotten SO long as the genius
of Thomas Hood, witt. all his gentle humor
and tender pathos, is remembered, but it is
doubtful if any one will ever envy the hero
inc of that poem her unique limb, which
brought with it so many misfortunes. In
this prosaic age a good strong leg of flesh,
bone and muscle, is much to be preferred
whether its possessor be a professional
pedestrian, or a solid unassuming citizen.
1t is to this last class that Mr.. M. P.
Schrock, Of 672 West Lake street, Chicago,
belongs. MI. Schrock is a w%ell-known dry
goods merchant. and counts himself fortu-
natein having a pair of good strong legs.
For one of his legs he has a peculiar regard,
as he came near losing it through rheuma-
tism. Athlophoros saved it for him how
ever, and for that invaluable remedy he
now cherishes an almost equal regard. The
story is we'll told by MI. Schrock in his own
words:
"During the Spring of 1884 I was strick-
en- with rheumatism in its very worst form,

less for about four weeks. My leg panied
me so intensely that I could not let it rest
on the bed without some support. So l had
a pulley attached from the ceiling and to
that a sling was fastened. l could rest my
leg in this, changing the height, and in that
manner l managed to obtain some little re-
lief. During the four weeks 1 lay in bed I
tried many remedies without avail. Final
ly l made a change and employed physi-
Clans. They tried their very best to give
me relief, but could not. Instead of getting
better, l was growing worse.
"My doctor finally decided that it would
be necessary to make ar incision in my
thigh, and if there was not a marked i'm.
provement in my condition from that opera.
ton that amputation of my leg would be
required. This, as you may we'll imagine,
discouraged and disheartened me beyond
noticed in o Richmond (Ind.) paper, for
which we subscribe, the name Of a personal
friend who had been cured by the use of
Athlophoros. She called my attention to
it. and l said at once, Get a bottle and try
it, She bought q bottle, the doctor was
discharged and we began using it immedi-
ately. I experienced great relief in the
first few doses. In two days after l began
with the medicine, l was in my store at
tending to my business, aud 1 have not been
troubled with rheumatism SINCE"
"How much Athlophoros did you use for
this remarkable cure. MI. Schrock"
"About one and a third bottles. The re-
naming two-thirds of q bottle is still un-
used at my house."
"Don't you think it was a very quick
cure for so bad a case?" was asked.
IL certainly think it not only quick" an
swered MI. Schrock. "but wonderful, and
I feel that l can not say too much for Ath-
lophoros. l never let an opportunity pass
when I can recommend it, as it surely did
everything for me-"
MI. Schrocl is now in the best of health,
and considers himself a living example of
what Athlophoros can do for those whom
rheumatism has brought even to DEATHS
door.
