 Tn many of our large cities there h. sve recently been efforts towards putting cha ity on better system than before, an0N directing the gifts of the benevolent into channels where they will do the most good. Able-bodied tramps are made to work, and exhibitors of hideous deformi- ties are sent to asylums. The money which, under the old lack of system, would find it's way into the pockets of these mis- erable persons, is now given to the deserv- ing poor. The organization and manage ment of this charity business IS Q work of magnitude and importance: In New Haven, Conn.,, it is in the hand of Board of Associated Charities" whose active man is the Secretary, the Rev. D. N. Seelye. MT. Seelye is a vigorous gem tleman in the prime of life, with keen eye to detect a fraud or to expose hypo- crite. The conversation recently turned on some of the ailments of the disabled, and consequent hindrances to obtaining work.
 Said MT. Seelye, eve have great many old people in our care and very prevalent trouble is rheumatism. In many instances the cases are old and chronic You know how difficult rheumatism is to eradicate from those who have had it for many years, and whose constitutions are badly broken down. There was an old man at
 
 mantle one. He was supposed to be all alone in the world. He thought his family were all dead. He had long ago been given up by all his friends, for they supposed he was dead. He was utterly helpless with rheumatism. He had an idea that if he could only get out he could look up some of his old friends and possi- ply find them. We had for some time been experimenting with new remedy that had used in my own family with very great benefit, and bottle of Athlophoros was given the old man. Lame and impetent as he was, 1t had an almost miraculous effect upon him. He was enabled to walk around the place. Soon he got so much better that he could go out by himself Some friends gave him money enough to push his way to Hartford, and there, sure enough, he found that his son, whom he had thought to be dead, was not only alive, but engaged in a prosperous business, and with no idea that the venerable old man was in the land of the livingl The meeting between the two is described as being something worthy the best skill of the dramatist."
 "What was the experience in your own family that you referred to, MT. seelye?"
 "H was that of my wife. She had for long. time been ill. Her illness developed into severe attack of rheuma- tism. Her suferings were intense. The doctors tried various methods for her relief, all of which failed. She was at Glastonbury, spending the summer among friends, in the hope of regaining her health. It was impossible for her to change her position without agony. Find ing that the doctors could do nothing, l thought would try bottle of Athlopho- ros just to see if there was anything in 1t. When I took 1t to her one afternoon, found one of the doctors with her, trying in vain to afford her relief. l asked him if he could relieve her. He said he feared not. Then I told him l would see what I could do. I gave her dose of Athlo- phoros. To the great astonishment of all of us, in less than an hour there were very positive symptoms of relief. Within three hours, most of her pain had gone. She slept restfully that night, which she had not done before for long time. And now let me tell you that within twenty-four hours after had given her the first dose, I had her in carriage taking a ride. From the time she first tasted the medi- cine her recovery began. Before long she was as well as ever, and is we'll now This is wonderful medicine that can thus so completely cast such disease as rheumatism out of the system.
 q have nbounded confidence in Athlo. phoros for all classes and conditions of people and whether at home or abroad, among rich or poor, believe it is the thing to rout rheumatism out of the system"
