rHK NAVY YARD IN NEW LONDON.

In this quaint old city of revolutionary memory and of historic interest one of the questions was for some time as to whether the Navy Yard should go or stay. The Navy Yard is there yet, and for the pres ent seems likely to stay.
 But there is another question which has from time to time occupied the attention of some of the New London people. It is personal one, coming much more nearly home to them than the one about the Navy Yard. It is: "Shall my rheumatism stay or go"
 There is no denying the fact that under the old treatment it has often proved as difficult to drive out rheumatism as to move navy yard.
 One of our correspondents while taking a tour among the apothecaries of New London, found that by their patrons these maladies were no longer regarded as tough and obstinate as formerly, but were giving way to the power of the new med1- cine, Athlophoros. Several of these apoth- ecaries spoke of 8 number of cases in which neuralgia and rheumatism had been thor oughly cured by Athlophoros.
 Visiting MT. J. D. T. Strickland, the old established coal dealer and merchant, he found that Mrs. Strickland had been suf- ferer from rheumatism. Said MT. Strlck- land: "She had it for several years. Her joints were painful and swollen. don't know much about Athlophoros, except that she took it and 1t took her rheumatism away. It is now year ago and she has had no rheumatism since, except an occa- sional twinge"
 The house of D. G. Stratton was then visited. MT. Stratton, whom everybody in New London knows, is a travelling sales man for a large New York house. He was away from home, but Mrs. Stratton, received our correspondent very cordially.
 MT. Stratton has no more rheumatism" said she. "He had it long and pr 'nfully. For several years he had been troubled with dull and heavy pains and aches, which the doctors told him were rheuma- tic, and treated him accordingly. But they did not succeed in drawing the pains out About two years ago these pains took the form of very severe attack of regular sci atica. We heard of Athlophoros and tried it. Much to our astonishment MT. Strat- tons pains began to leave him. The cure was not complete at once, but there was enough relief to show that we were on the right track. MT. Stratton felt so much en- couraged that he kept on, receiving benefit all the time, until he had taken seven bot ties. By this time the pain had left him. Occasionally since that there has been slight return of the pain, but only slight nothing like the old pains which for 8 while laid MT. Stratton up and prevented him from attending to business We re- gard his cure as complete and we give credit entirely to Athlophoros. He is about as usual and is able to attend to all his duties, which require great deal of travelling and constant active exertion. You may quote us as most thoroughly and heartily believing in Athlophoros."
 From New London, sour correspondent went to Taunton, Mass, and called one evening at the house of Mir. John S. Sampson on Harrison street. MT. Sampson said, "My rheumatism took princi- pally the form of sciatica, attacking me from time to time suddenly and with acute pain. It was chiefly in last August that my attacks were the most severe. It may be a curious feature of such attacks that mine have been more in the dog days than in the spring and fall months when most people have rheumatism. This Athlophoros medicine finished my rheu- matism had tried other medicines and they failed to cure me. I tried Athlopho- ros and it knocked the rheumatism out. That is not very long story, but it is the long and short of it"
 "Have you had returns of the rheuma- tism or the sciatic pain since your cure?"
 "I have not, except in very slight degree; not enough to be any great incon- venience. But I keep bottle of Athlo- phoros in the house, and know what to do in case I should have any return. I heartily commend Athlophoros"
