HETTER TILL. :. G5LDEN LEG.

Miss Kiinatlsesg anl her golden
leg" will never he iar.Otten so long as
the genius Of Thomas Hood, with all his
gentle humor. and tender pathos, is re-
membered, but it is doubtful if any one
will ever envy the heroine of that poem
her unique limb, which brought with it
10 many misfortunes. In this prosaic
age good strong leg OF flesh, bone and
muscle, is much to be preferred whether
its possessor be Il professional pedestrian,
ora solid unassuming citizen.
1t is to this last class that Mr.. NJ. p.
Schrock, OF 672 West Lake street, Chicago,
belongs. MIR. Schrock is q weli-known
dry goods merchant, and counts himself
fortunate in having pair Of good strong
legs. For one of his legs he has
a peculiar regard, as he came near
losing it through rheumatism Athlo-
phoros saved it for him however, and for
that Invaluable remedy he now cherishes
an almost equal regard. The story is
well told by Mr.. Schrock in his own
words:
"During the Spring Of 1884 was
stricken with rheumatism i'll its very
worst form, and was confined to my bed
entirely helpless for about four week.
My leg panied me so intensely that
could not let it rest on the bed witho
some support. So ] had pulley al
sling was fastened. / could rest my L.,
in this, changing the height, and in thu
manner | managed to obtain some liitl-
relief During the four weeks | lay il
bed tried many remedies without avail
Finally ] made change and employee
physicians. They tried their very best
to give me relief but could not. Instead
of getting better,l was growing worse.
Ny doctor finally decided that it would
be necessary to make an incison in my
thigh, and if there was not marked I'M
provement in my condition from that
operation that ,amputation of my leg
would be required. This, as you may
we'll imagine, discouraged and disheart-
ened me beyond measure. About this
time my wife noticed in n Richmond
indy paper, for which we subscribe,
the name of a personal friend who had
been cured by the use of Athlophoros.
She called my attention to it, and | said
at once, Get +. bottle and try it, She
bought bottle, the doctor was discharg-
ed and we began using it Immediately.
| experienced great relief in the first
few doses In two days after l began
with the medicine, was in my store
attending TO my business, and l have not
been doubled with rheumatism since
"How much Athlophotos lid you use
for this remarkable cure, Mr.. Schroek?"
"About one and thiri bottles. The
remaining two-thir,ls CT a bottle is still
unused at my house"
"Don't you think it Was q very quick
cure for so bad a case :" was asked.
AZ certainly think it not only quick
answered Mr.. Sehroel>, but wonderful,
and I feel that l cannot say too much
i,r Athlophoros. never let an oppor-
tanity pass when / can recommend it,
as it surely did everything for me-
Mr.. Schrock 10 now in the best Of
health, and considers himself a Twin;
example of what Atllopinoros can DO
for those whom rheumatism has brought
even to DEATHS door.
