THE STAMFORD BLACKSMITH.

Quiet and steady going Stamford, in Con- necticut, is not place whose citizens seek excitement or are given to sensations. In- stead, therefore, of saying that the case of MT. Bates has produced what is commonly called sensation" let us rather say that it has made aprofound impression among the thoughtful Stamford people, and one which will not soon be forgotten.
 One of our editors, having heard of it, visited Stamford to learn more about it.
 First he called on Messrs. Gillespie r "ners, publishers of the Stamford .Ad- s~~cte n influential paper. From these @ Sa,,sIs.s.sn he learned that Frank ". Bates fS well known and highly esteemed by the S.ar,ford neoule, Snd that he had b cen so ;i1 i1;.h -bsnnnat,s>m that his life had been desbaired of. The dosfors had done |. heir best for him but without success. Ha1 ng given up almott all hope of recovery, T. Bates happened to see in the Advoeate n advertisement of AtE4Ophoros. Without Saying anything to the doctors about 1t he sent for bottle "just to try" The resule was. iii short, he. got well. Step around the corner to MT. Bates shop," said, Mr. Gillespie. " and I have no doubt yorFwilIsee him there. It will interest you to AaVe'ai talk with him."
 Our correspondent went and had very interesting talk with MT. Bates, who sind substantially:
 "I was exposed during the summeF and early fall, for took a lively interest III HleE campaign. was taken down with tyPhonl fnalarial fever, which was followed by rheumatism and sharp sclatlc pains. On how did suffer- My agony was eXcrucl- ating. was in bed with the fever nearly three months. Then got better and went out too soon, and I suppose that was why the rheumatism and sciatica followed. l had pains all over me. In my back they were very, very bad. One day was sit ting up in bed reading the AdUocate, and l came across an advertisement of Athlopho'- ros. It didn't offer to cure everything, but said it could cure rheumatism andneu ralgia. That was all wanted. If it could do that, it was just the thing for me. sent to Mr. Gillespie, who publishes the paper, and I told him had seen the advertise ment and wanted to know what he knew about it. There are so many humbugs, you know, that offer to cure all sorts of things and can't cure any of them, that l didn't want to get hold of any of them. MT. Gillespie said he knew nothing about the medicine, but he believed that the people who advertised it were fair and square peo- ole. So thought would try bottle and see what would come of it. Yes, l tried it, and was not disappointed, either. Why, in quarter of an hour after had taken my first dose the worst of those awful pains had left me. tell you 1t was a mighty relief. Of course, I feared they would come back again, for had never heard of medicine that could do so much good in so little time. I thought perhaps itwould turn round and do me some harm, some way or other. But it didn't, and the pains didn't come back, either. 1 kept on taking little more Athlopheros, just to keep the pain out, and took altogether about two bottles of it. Just think of it, I had taken morphine and chloroform and all that kind of drugs to ease my pain, and they had given me nothing but temporary relief, and not great deal of that. But here was this new medicine, that took the pain right out. don't want to say anything against the doctors. I had two of them. They are good men and good friends of mine, and they did their very best to bring me out. But it was the Athlophoros that did the business.
 "You see, am not up to my full weight yet. am pale and thin, and not as strong as was before my illness. No wonder! I weighed 16O pounds and I ran down to 100! It is only four weeks since I have been able to be about. But am gather ing strength. I sleep well, eat well, and am attending regularly to my business"
