TRIsTRAM SHANDY'S FATHER.

Tristram Shandy, in the humorous OPEN
ing chapters of the book which bears his
name and purports to record his life and
opinions, tells us that his father was at one
time afflicted with sciatica, and that this
affliction was indirectly the cause of events
which had q most baleful and unhappy
effect upon his own future life. Little
matters like these often do affect the career
not only of the sufferer himself, but OF
those by whom he is surrounded, and per-
haps Tristram's subsequent misfortunes,
even more than he knew, might all be
traced to that sciatica from which his
father, "a Turkey merchant-one of the
most regular men in everything he did,
whether it was matter of business or mat
ter of amusements, that ever lived "-suf
fered all December, January and Febru-
AIRY. Sciatica and other diseases must be
held responsible for good deal that goes
Yrong in the present day also, and even an
attack of indigestion in so august a person
age as President or King may lead &c
events that may affect the destinies of ma
tons.
An attack of sciatica, however, from
which Mr.. T. E. Chatfeld, a contractor
and builder of Milwaukee, Wis, has re-
attended with at least one good result, for
which Mr.. Chatfeld is thankful, and that
IS it has shown him that there is cure for
the disease. Mr.. Chatfield lives at No. 365
Eleventh avenue, and is we'll known in
Milwaukee. To one who called upon him
in reference to his case he told this story :
Yes; / was afflicted terribly. / took
some Athlophoros and the disease is gone.

not new thing with me by any means.
had the sciatica for many years and tried
.nany kinds of medicine without any re-
lief OF course, there would be times when
I would suffer worse than at others, es-
pecially in damp and stormy weather.
Last fall I had a very severe attack, prob
ably the worst / ever had.
81 was so badly crippled that I could
not walk and / could not get any sleep,
except when the doctor would inject NOR
phine. Then [ would be able to doze a
little while. Tread about Athlophoros in
the papers and decided to try it in my
case. After using about two-thirds Of a
bottle the pain went away as if by some
magic power and In few days / was en-
tirely well and went about my work"
Did you have any returns ofthe disease
during the severe winter?"
"No; nothing to speak of. / felt little
twinge in my right leg, but attribute that
to my leaving off the medicine SO soon. [
got well so quickly that I quit taking the
medicine and did not really give it fair
chance to clear the disease entirely out of
my system. If any sufferer from rheuma-
tism is made sick by the Athlophoros in
taking it according to the directions /
would advise him to take smaller doses,
but to stick to the medicine, as it will
surely cure him as it did me-"
E. L. Dimock, of the firm of Dimock
& Hayner, insurance agents, East Mil
waukee street. Janesville, Wis, who was SO
seriously afflicted with rheumatism in his
hips and legs that he could not move with
out great trouble and intense pain, gives
this as his experience with Athlophoros:
"I have now used one bottle of Athlo-
phoros with the most satisfactory results,
being almost entirely free from pain"
