To naks : vhsel seems Say sioulA;
especially 70 people who know nothing
about IL just take round block with
hole IN i for he hub; fix up some sticks
for spokss; knock some roundish bits
togsther for the rim; fasten the whole
thing and put tire around il, and your
wheel i made.
Well, with such . process, you might
make sort Of wheel, and that il much
the way that some Of the old-fashioned
wheelwrights did.
But now the making Of wheels Is a
gigantic and well-ordered industry, just as
is the making of watches. A newspaper
correspondent went, the other day, to the
great factory Of the New Haven Wheel Co.
where the wheels are made. For forty years
this immense concern has been putting its
whole energy ON wheels. Every kind of
wheel, from the slender and delicate look
ing sulky wheel, TO the stout and heavy
wheels on which the big fre-engine is
hurried to the confagration, 10 made here.
The object Of the visit was to see two Of
the principal men in this factory, both Of
whom had been afflicted with rheumatism.
Mr.. NJ J. Brown, who manages some Of
the important wood-cutting machinery,
when asked about his rheumatism replied:

Of it for long time. / was all bent
together and drawn up with pain, and for
weeks was laid aside from my work. The
rheumatism took me chiefly in my joints;
and tell you it was bad, bad, bad. How

ros would help me. Thought might

day. To my surprise, had less pain, and
less as kept on with it. The next day
was decidedly better. / went on improv-
ing day by day. thought / was done
with rheumatism when l had used two
bottles Of Athlophoros, but it came at ne
again, and ! nsed four bottles in all.
Since then have had no return of my
trouble. have been regularly at work
here, as anybody in the factory can tell
you. Let me take you up to Mr.. McKen-
zie, on the third floor. He is one Of the
men that believes in Athlophoros"
Ascending on the elevator, Mr.. Will
liam Mckenzie was found busy at his work.
Ills whole countenance lit up pleasantly
as he told of his recovery from a severe
attack Of sciatica.
"Yes," said he, Il was indeed badly
crippled up, and | was suffering gre;,
pain. too. For two years and half w.
apt 10 be taken any day with yinlen'
sciatic pains, and to be hobbling around
scarcely able to work. Sometimes | WAS
entirely laid up in the house. and con!d
not come ont to work at all. Then there
were times when | could barely creep
along, and it was like drawing teeth to get
to my work. NV sciatica would come On
suddenly, like the sharp thrust of knit,
with acute pain like tooth-ache. III MAS
sitting down and tried to rise, it would
take me so that | would find myself al
in Il heap on the floor. Well, | heard
them say Athlophoros was good. hardly
believed il would do anything for me- hut
| got bottle Just to try. had then been
laid up for two or three weeks in the
house. II did the work. 1t didn't cure
me all in minute, but it brought me up
gradually within week. That was
quickly enough, wasn't it, considering
what | had been through? That was
months ago, and have had no sciatica
since.
"One Of my neighbors, an old lady with
inflammatory rheumatism, said she would
try Athlophoros. think it was four bot
ties she took, but whether i.
was four OF more don't matter
much, for her rheumatism is all gone.
She keeps part Of bottle Of Athlopho-
ros in the house, and so do |, and |
wouldn't he without it. For if am ever
to have rheumatism or sciatica again,
that Is what want TO have by me. and I'll
use it right Mt once without any delay"
