There are no insists at the establish
a.ent of KRAFT Brothers, the tailors, of Gen.
tire street, New Haven. Everybody in
Connecticut knows the reputation of these
gentlemen for good work and for RELIABLE
ity. Cheerful and busy men they are and
closely attentive to their business.
To look at Mr.. Henry Kraft as he is
now, riskly and busy, attending to the
details Of store affairs, nobody would sup
pose that he had been great sufferer from
rheumatism. But such is the case. He is
now q perfectly well man, and therefore
his story may be of interest to those who
have felt the tortures Of rheumatism as he
did. One of our writers spent an hour
with him not long ago, and listened to the
narration of his experience.
have had several severe attacks of
rheumatism, which were 80 bad as to lay
me up, and have had great number of
lesser attacks Of it. 1t is cruel disease,
and l assure you am glad to be rid of it.
My first attack was about six years ago.
My last attack was somewhat over two
years ago. 1t was a big one. had taken
a severe cold, and the rheumatism came on
suddenly and with great sharpness. In
the previous attacks l had never used
Athlophoros, for had never heard of it.
But now had heard that there was such
medicine and sent for Mr.. Searles, who
makes it, and l asked him to be my doc
tor. Mr.. Searles said he did not attend
anybody as physician, but he sent me
bottle of the Athlophoros medicine with
directions how to take it. Oh what a
sweat | had when l took that medicine!
Why, l sweat all night. My pain had
been chiefly in my side and the calf of my
leg, and when it took me suddenly it would
knock me over. In this attack the pain
had extended pretty much all over my
body. In the morning after 8 took the
Athlophoros l had no pain above my
waist. With towels my perspiration was
wiped of, keeping the upper part of me
cool and dry. 1t seemed as if the pain was
going out by the way of my feet. Now it
was in the lower part of my body. Within
forty-eight hours after had taken my first
dose of Athlophoros the pain was all gone.
1t left for while sort of tingling in my
toes, but before long that was gone, too.
"Well, in my JOY at being rid of the
pain | suppose came out of the house too
soon. Tell people they ought to be care
full about that. | had more pain, although
not nearly as severe as what | had suffer
ed. L went home again and staid for two
or three days, taking more Athlophoros.
When | came back to the store was per-
tectly well, and since that | have had none
of the trouble, except some sharp pains
which catch me once in a while, just for a
moment. l feel bit of twinge, and then
it is all over. These pains are not severe
enough to make me feel the need of any
rore medicine though | keep the Ath-
lophoros and would take it if my pains
were to return with any severity. / be-
liove the great cause of the pain is gone,
ard | know that the Athlophoros made it
20.
DO l believe in Athlophoros, then?
Well, you may say do; and you would be
sure oft ifyou could hear me recommend
inc it to my friends. There is one man
over at the Court House, can't think of
his name now-but everybody knows him
there. He had rheumatism SO bad that he
couldn't stand up. One night met him
in a street car. | told him about Athlo-
phoros and he got some and got rid of his
rheumatism entirely. There are good
many more, too, that were cured in the
same way, and have been cured by this
medicine l never heard so much talk
about any other medicine as have heard
about this"
1t is worthy of consideration in regard
to the work of Athlophoros that where it
is best known it ismost highly priced. The
words which are spoken in its praise come
from people who are most widely known
in the communities where they reside In
quire among any of the druggists vino sell
Nthlophoros, and the result of the inquiry
vii he the information that Atl 10; EarG,
is in growing favor and increasing demand
among the people. and that those who have
used it ere most earnest in speaking Of the
good it has done them.
