WHEELS.

To make . wheel seems easy enough;
especially to people who know nothing
about it. Just take a round block with a
hole in it for the hub; fix up some sticks
for spokes; knock some roundish bits
together for the rim; fasten the whole
thing and put tire around it, and your
wheel is made.
Well, with such process, you might
make . sort of wheel, and that is much
the way that some Of the old-fashioned
vheelwrights did.
But now the making of wheels is
gigantic and well-ordered industry, just as
Is the making Of watches. A newspaper
correspondent went, the other day, to the
great factory of the New Haven Wheel 20.
where the wheels are made. For forty years
this immense concern has been putting its
whole energy on wheels. Every kind OF
wheel, from the slender and delicate look
ing sulky wheel, to the stout and heavy
wheels on which the big fire-engine is
hurried TO the confagration, is made here.
The object Of the visit was TO see two Of
the principal men in this factory, both Of
whom had been afflicted with rheumatism.
Mr.. M. J. Brown, who manages some Of
the important wood-cutting machinery,
when asked about his rheumatism replied:
at is all gone, am glad to say, and |
am a. well as ever, not having had a touch
Of it for long time. l was all bent
together and drawn up with pain, and for
weeks was laid aside from my work. The
rheumatism took me chiefly in my joints;
and tell you it was bad, bad, bad. How
quickly was / cured? Well, I'll tell you.
I had tried good many things that
didn't cure me quickly; in fact they didn't
cure me at all was told that Athlopho-
ros would help me. Thought might
a. well try it, AS | had tried pretty
much everything else that was
made Well got bottle. used it one
day. To my surprise, had less pain, and
less as kept on with it. The next day
was decidedly better. | went on improv-
ing day by day. thought ! was done
with rheumatism when ! had used two
bottles Of AthlOphoros, bnt it came at me
again, and | nsed four bottles in all.
Since then | have had no return of my
trouble. / have been regularly at work
here, as anybody in the factory can tell
you. Let me take you up to Mr.. Mcken-
zie, on the third floor. lie is one OF the
men that believes in Athlophoros."
Ascending on the elevator, Mr.. VIII
liam Mckenzie was found busy at his work.
His whole countenance lit up pleasantly
m he told OF his recovery from severe
attack Of sciatica.
"Yes," said he, 81 was indeed badly
crippled up, and | was suffering grea,
pain, too For two years and half wa
apt to be taken any day with violer'
sciatic pains, and to be hobbling around
scarcely able to work. Sometimes ! was
entirely laid up in the house, and could
not come out to work at all. Then there
we're times when | could barely creep
along, and it was like drawing teeth to get
to my work NV sciatica would come on
suddenly, like the sharp thrust of knife,
with acute pain like tooth-ache. If l was
sitting down and tried to rise, it would
take me so that | would find myself all
in heap on the tlocr. Well, | heard
them say Athlophoros was good hardly
believed it would do anything for me, but
got bottle just to try. had then been
hid up for two or three weeks in the
house 1t did the work 1t didn't cure
me all in minute, but it brought me up
gradually within week. That was
quickly enough, wasn't it, considering
what | had been through? That was
months ago, and have had no sciatica
since
zone Of my neighbors, an old lady with
innammatory rheumatism, said she would
try Athlophoros. think it was four bot
ties she took, but whether il
was four or more don't matter
much, for her rheumatism is all gone.
She keeps part of bottle of Athlopho-
rcs in the house, and so do |, and
wouldn't be without it. For if am ever
10 have rheumatism or sciatica again.
that's what want to have by me, and III
use it right at once without any delay"
