Poor Kntiei A great sufferer she was,
and most patiently did she endure In the
hope that at last her sufferings would
come TO an end. She wos just budding
into womanhood; n fne-looking girl Of
nearly nineteen, who had, previous 10 her
attack of illness, enjoyed robust health.
Let her mother tell the story, as she
told 1t to two Of our editorial friends who
recently spent an evening at the house.
s"Katie's illness came on slowly, with
great pain in her thigh and hip. For a
while she kept on going to school, but the
stay at home, and most of the time lie
down on a little lounge here in the sitting
room. We tried the best physicians we
could get. The disease bafled them all.
One said IL was liberation of the thigh
bone, and wanted to have the poor child
undergo terrible operation. 1t turned
child how she did suffer About four
o'clock in the afternoon she would begin
screaming with pain. She couldn't help
it. She would scream and moan tiil
about four in the morning. Then she
would fall asleep from weariness, and
sleep for some hours. This went on for
upous Sibht hiohthos iShhb WV ht6hto
neither she nor could sleep.
"Katie was great reader. One day,
in a paper, she saw an advertisement of
Athlophoros. She asked me to get it and
see If 1t wouldn't cure her. We had tried
a good many different things, but I
thought we would try this. And went
and got bottle. gave her dose of it
towards evening. 1t was simply wonderful
l. ,,a.. l.I,
her into gentle sleep. She slept nicely
until ten. Then she was in great
perspiration. She walked, and gave her
another dose, for the first one had done
her SO much good. Then she fell asleep
again and slept till morning. Her pain
was gone. She had hardly any returns oft.
The Athlophoros did the work for her
most completely.
I" But the terrible sciatica had drawn
Katic's leg 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.
"Father Tscheider, of the Paulist
Fathers, saw much of Katie during her
illness, and knows all about US. Go and
ask him, and he will tell you all about it.
Some time ago we gave letter about
Katie's case, and it was published. We
have had numerous inquiries in reference
to it, all of which we promptly answer.
:" / must tell you," continued Mrs. Gill,
"of our neighbor, Mrs. Summers, and her
eleven-year old boy. The boy had one of
the most terrible attacks of rheumatism I
ever knew boy to have. / had little
Athlophoros left in the bottle from which
Katie had taken. l gave it to Mrs. Summers,
and she gave it to the child who was scream
ing with pain. When Mr.. Summers came
home, he was surprised to find the boy
sitting up, free from pain, and cheerfully
singing. 1 wish you would 60 and see
them. They live not far from here, on
West 18th street. No. 905."
Mr.. Gill added in his own behalf:
az have had good deal of rheumatism
myself, chiefly in my shoulders and arms.
But 1 took Athlophoros and got rid of
the trouble. 1 did not have to take much
either. 1 found the medicine acted very
quickly"
Inc heV. atner feter lscneluer, asSlst-
ant pastor of the Church ofthe Holy Fam
lily, was found at his pastoral residence, No.
All West 18th street, Chicago. Father
Tscheider took pleasure in saying that he
knew Mr.. and Mrs. Gill, and that he
esteemed them highly; also that he had
seen Katie frequently during her illness,
and knew all about her wonderful re-
covery from sciatica, and her subsequent
injury and her illness at the hospital.
