Old Residents of Wisconsin.

! The old residents who first settled
Wisconsin and have watched it grow
from thlnly populated territory into
one of the most prosperous and
progressive States of the Union are
asst passing away Every few days
ire printed accounts of the death OF
,ome 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 its borders
as well. In recounting some of his
experiences recently he said:
Il have suffered more or less from
rheumatism and general debility for
number of years. For the last year
he trouble has constantly increased
nd for month could not dress my
elf 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 l used various
remedies, but all to no purpose. and
continued to get worse. My attention
was called to Athlophoros. | pro-

two years old-and | don't suppose
that it will make me 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 902 State street. She has this to say:
II have been troubled with rheu-
matism for the last three years. ] did
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 | could bend them, especially in
goingup and down stairs. During the
time | was troubled in this way l tried
many medicines without any good
effects. Athlophoros came to my notice,
and being anxious to get some relief L
thought | would try it. After using it
for 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. Neff, of Calamine,
an old gentleman of seventy-tve years.
She says:
when he got the first bottle of
AthlophorOs, which | sent for for him,
he was so badly off with rheumatism and
had been for nearly a year that he
could not step without two crutches. 1t
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 for
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. =
If you cannot get ATHLopuoRos of your
druggist, we will send it express paid, on
receipt of regular price-one dollar per
bottle. We prefer that you buy it from
your druggist, but if he hasn't it. do not be
persuaded to try something else, but order
at once from us, as directed. ATHLoPHoRos
