WHEN DOES OLD AGE REe1Ni

When does old age begin? At forty-fve,
it is said, the amount of combustion which
keeps the furnace of the human body in
blast commences to decrease and dimlnlShes
until three-Scoro years and ten, more or
less, when the fires arc drawn and the
Pickering flame dies out That is the
physiological way Of looking at it. But
some men are old before they are out of
their teens, while others apparently never
grow old, though they live to be centeu,
arians, The poets way Of looking at it is
the best:
"Call him not old whose visionary brain
Holds DER the past Its undivided reign.
For him In vain the enviouS seasons roll
Who bears eternal summer in his Soul."
This at least seems to be the way IN
which David Littell, Of Sumner, Ia. looks
at life, for though now in his eightieth
wear he has taken new lease on lie
and is apparently determined 10 hold ca
to it. AthlophoroS did il for him and he
Acknowledges his debt to it in terms Of
enthusiasm. Mr.. Littell tells his own story:
Il was past seventy-seyen and had been
afflicted with rheumatism three years and
eight months. l had lest one-yhird of my
weight and could not walk, but shutiioi
along with crutches. Sleep had deserted
me, my nerves were all shattered, and there
was no strength in my hands, wrists, knees
or feet. | could rot sit down or got up ont
of chair without help. and oh such pain,
worse at night than in the day. There was
neither sleep nor rest, and the outlook WIS
painful in the extreme.
But thanks be 10 God and Erotl.vr
1nskip for sending me paper containing
notice of the cures made by AIhlophoGoS
and thanks be to you for sending ne 4
bottle. 1t appears to ME the hand Of God
is in il all the way, and If YOU did not hear
me shout why then / did not shout loUd
enough, that is all. The medicine arrived
one Saturday night after had gone Il bed.
In the morning my son prepared me dose
of two teaspoonfuls III milk. | took it and
felt it at once all over. After that | took
but one teaSpooniul at time until | had
finished the bottle. How did it act? Why,
like charm. On Monday morning rose,
dressed, and walked out into the kitchen
without erutches or cane and wished them
all happy New Year.
my pain is all gone and l rest we'll.
My son, seeing such great change in me-
wrote for ten bottles in order as he SAYS
to make permanent cure it. 1t IS all
moro like dream than reality. | have
written to four of my friends who are
afflicted with rheumatism about the great
medicine and | shall write to Others and in
this way try to pay the debt of gratitude.
"Some fourteen months ago. says A.
Hayward, of Burlington, Ia, Il was at
tackled with infiammatory rheumatism. |
tried dozen different kinds of medicine
said to cure rheumatism, but TO no pur-
pose. Finally, l procured bottle Of
Athlophoros. After using the bottle it
did me so much good that l bought
another, but did not have to use more than
a third Of the second bottle before | was
entirely cured. From that time up to the
present l have never had anything like
rheumatic pains, and 1 thank Athlophoros
for the cure"
Thomas McCue, Bush's block, Dubuque,
Ia, whose wife was cured by Athlophoros
of a terrible case of rheumatism. declares
it was "truly miracle in my wiie's case. =
