THE FALL RIVER STRIKES.

One of the busiest of all the manufactur- ing cities of New England IS Fall River, famous for it's many mills, its enterprising manufacturers, and its hosts of steady-go- ing operatives. Once in a while strike takes place at Fall River which brings the place into more than usual prominence But these strikes are less and less frequent, and the relations between capital and la bor are now so well understood that strikes are regarded as unproftable waste of time.
 One of our editorial writers went to Fall River few days ago, not to see the mills nor to study as to strikes and strikers, but to learn about the case of Mrs. Lawton, who for many years was a sufferer from rheumatism. Mrs. Lawton is a lady we'll known in Fall River, and living at No. AZ Third Street Calling on her, our friend found her at home and very cheerfully dis posed to talk about her experience in get ting rid of her rheumatic troubles.
 Said Mrs. Lawton: Y" had rheumatism for fifteen years, and it was of the most painful kind, too. The pain was mostly in my feet, which were sometimes badly swelled. My joints were exceedingly pain ful. I could not rest with any comfort at night. Sometimes in the day time 1 would be taken with sudden pains so that could not stand. Just before change of wealth CT my sufferings would sometimes be in- tense. We'll, of course, l tried everything that gave me any hope of recovery from this disease. From time to time l had sev- eral doctors, sometimes of one school and sometimes ofanother. Sometimes thought I experienced relief with the various things they gave me, but the relief would be only partial and would last only a short time. don't pretend to say what the cause of rheumatism is, but whatever 1t is it was ln mo or,d a11 tho medicines I tOOE for fifteen years failed to get it out"
 "Well, madam, how did you get rid of it at last? You seem to be entirely free from it now"
 "Free from it Yes, guess l am. No more rheumatism for me since took Ath- Iophoros, this new medicine that there is so much talk about. In the fall of '84 1 saw this Athlophoros advertised in 8 paper was reading, and heard some of my friends talking about it. At that time didn't believe that there was anything that could cure rheumatism, for the doctors had so entirely failed to cure mine.
 "But thought would try bottle of this new medicine just to see what it would do. sent for bottle. There was none to be had in town at that time, and so got one of our druggists to send for it for me. I am told the druggists all keep it now, though, for it has done so much good that a great many people are asking for it. AS soon as had taken the. medicine l felt 8 queer buzzing in my head. Itwas not un- pleasant exactly, but it made me wonder what was coming next. Well, what came next? Why, just what I wanted-that was relief from my pain. The first night after had taken the medicine I slept as l had not slept for years. 1 do not say that my pain all went away at once. But with in few days it all went away, and the best of it is that 1t has not come back again. speak very gratefully of the Athlophoros, for it did great deal more for me than could have expected"
 And how about your friends, Mrs. Law ton? Were some of them benefited by Athlophoros ?"
 "Yes. There is lady who lives on Main street who had rheumatism severely in her arms. The doctors tried in vain to do her good, and Athlophoros cured her. A lady who lives in the next house re- ceived great deal of good from it. Then my daughter-she has had intiammatory rheumatism lately, and she has begun to take Athlophoros. It has done her much good, although she is not yet entirely cured. A gentleman who was here from Westport got a bottle for his wife. At first she was afraid of it, but she took it, and found that it did her great deal of good. And there are others around here, too, who say 1t IS the best medicine they ever knew"
