ME-. GiLL'S DAUGHTER

I Poor Katie! A great sufferer she was and
most patiently did she endurein the hope that at
/ last her sufferings might come 10 an end. She
was just budding into womanhood fine look
ing girl Of nearly nineteen, who had previous TO
her attack of illuss, enjoyed robust health.
Let her mother tell the story, as she told it to
two of our editorial friends who recently spent an
evening at the house.
'.Katie's illness came on slowly with great pain
| in her thigh and hip. For awhile she kept on
going to school, but the pains became so severe
that she had to stay az home and most of the
time to lie down on little lounge here in the
sitting-room. We tried the best physicians we
could get. Tie disease bafled them all One
said It was liberation Of the thigh bone, and want
ed to have the poorehild undergo terrible opera
ton II turned out to be sciatic rheumatism
Poor child how she did suffer! About four
o'clock in the afternoon she would begin scream
ing with pain. She couldn't help it. She would
scream and moan till about four in the morning
Then she would fall asleep from WEAKNESS, and
sleep for some hous This went on for about
/ eight months. During the nights neither she nor
l could sleep
katie was great reader. One day in paper
she saw an advertisement Of Athlophoros. She
asked me to get it and see if 10 wouldn't cure her
We had tried good many different things, but
l thought we would try this. And went and got
a bottle. Igave her dose Of it toward evening
1t was simply wonderful how it quieted the poor
child's pain and put her into gentle sleep. She
slept nicely until ten Then she was in a great

dose for the first had done her so much good.
Then she fell asleep again and slept until morn

returns of it, The Athlophoros did the work for
her most completely

up and made it shorter than it had been by
several inches She was lame for life although
the rheumatism was all driven out of her. She
had to walk on crutches One day she fell down
stairs, and was so badly hurt that she had to be
taken to the hospital. There she suffered a great
deal, and after some weeks she died.

much of Katie during her illness, and knows all
about us Go and ask him, and he win tell you

case, and it was published. We have had numer-
