old R.sidents Of Wisconsin.

The old residents who first settled
Wisconsin and have watched it grow
from thinly populated territory into
one Of the most prosperous and
progressive States Of the Union are
fast passing away. Every few days
are printed accounts Of tho death OF
some village patriarch, whose tales Of
fights with the Indians and Of hard
ships endured and overcome in earlier
days have seemed to the rising
generation like chapters in ancient
history. To those who still remain
all honor is due. They will not be
with us long. but while they yet tarry
their experience and advice should be
needed. Samuel Barstow, OF Lam
caster. Wis.,, is one Of these old
residents and is well known, not only
in the State, but beyond ito borders
as we'll. In rscounting some OF his
experiences recently he said:
II have suffered more or less from
rheumatism and general debility for
number Of years. For the last year
the trouble has constantly increased
and for q month I could not dress my
self or get up from my chair without
help. From my head to my feet every
cord and muscle was stiff and sore.
During this time I used various
remedies, but all to no purpose. and
continued to get worse. My attention
was called to Athlophoros. I pro-
cured q bottle and on the 22d Of
January, 1884, began to use it. /
took Eve doses and then slept easily
until eight o'clock in the morning. /
then got up and dressed myself and
walked out without cane. was
astonished at the result and could
hardly realize that tho medicine had
produced such an effect. am getting
to be an old mani am now seventy
two wears Old-and I don't suppose
that it will make me q young man,
but it will help the lamp Of life to
burn down calmly"
Mrs. r. F.. Bowers, of Racine, Wis,
is well known in that city as one Of the
old residents, she having lived there
thirty-seven years. Her present address
is 9O2 State street. She has this to say:
II have been troubled with rheu-
matism for the last three years. I did
not suffer ~ much pain as some do
with the same complaint, my difficulty
being principally stiffness Of the joints.
The trouble was mostly In my knee
Joints, and it was with much difficulty
that l could bend them. especially in
going up and down stairs. During the
time I was troubled in this way I tried
many medicines without any good
effects. Athlophoros came to my notice.
and being anxious to get some relief l
thought I would try it. After using it
for q short time was able to bend my
knees easily and could 60 up or down
stairs.
Mrs. T. b. Neff, Of Calamine, Wis.
who has herself been benefited by TAX
ing Athlophoros tor her rheumatism,
tells an interesting story Of the i'm
provement wrought in her brother-in-
law, Mr.. John w. Ne1f, Of Calamine,
an old gentleman Of seventy-ive years.
She says:
when he got the first bottle Of
Athloph0ros, which I sent for for him,
he was 90 badly of with rheumatism and
had been for nearly . year that he
could not step without two crutches. Il
took two or three men TO help him out
of wagon or sleigh, and he could not
dress or undress himself alone. He
had paid out great many dollars f0r
remedies. He took eighteen bottles Of
Athlophoros. and now he can walk
three-quarters Of . mile with just one
cane, and can hoe in the garden and
chop wood"
