@Miss Kilmansegg and her golden Leg"
will never be forgotten SO long as the
genius of Thomas Hood, with all his gen.
tie humor and tender pathos is remember
ed, but it is doubtful if any one will ever
envy the heroine of that poem her unique
limb, which brought with it so many mis-
fortunes. In this prosaic age good strong
leg of flesh, bone, and muscle is much to
be preferred, whether its possessor be pro-
fessiona, pedestrian or q solid unassuming
citizen.
1t is to this last class that Mr.. M. p.
Schrock, of 672 West Lake street, Chicago,
belongs. Mr.. Shrock is a well-known dry
goods merchant, and counts himself for
tunate in having pair of good strong legs.
For one of his legs he has peculiar re-
gard, as he came near losing it through
rheumatism. Athlophoros saved it for him,
however, and for that invaluable remedy he
now cherishes an almost equal regard. The
story is well told by Mr.. Schrock in his own
words:
During the Spring of 1884 was strick-
en- with rheumatism in its very worst form,
and was confined to my bed entirely help
less for about four weeks. My leg panied
me so intensely that could not let it rest
on the bed without some support. SO
had pulley attached from the ceiling and
to that a sling was fastened. 1 could rest
my leg in this, changing the height, and in
that manner managed to obtain Some little
relief. During the four weeks lay in bed
tried many remedies without avail. Final
ly made a change and employed physi :
clans. They tried their very best to give
me relief, butcould not. Instead of get
ting better, was growing worse.
my doctor finally decided that it would
be necessary to make an incision in my
thigh, and if there was not q marked i'm
provement in my condition from that op-
Grafton, that amputation of my leg would
be required. This, as you may we'll imag-
inc, discouraged and disheartened me be-
yond measure. About this time my wife
noticed in a Richmond, Ind, paper, for
which we subscribe, the name of personal
friend who had been cured 10y the use of
Althophoros. She called my attention to
it, and l said at once, Get bottle and try
it. She bought a bottle, the doctor was
discharged and we began using it immedi-
ately. experienced great relief in the first
| few doses. In two days after l began with
the medicine l was in my store attending to
my business, and 1 have not been troubled
with rheumatism since"
"How much Athlophoros did You use for
this remarkable cure, Mr.. Schrock?"
about one and third bottles. The re-
naming thirds of bottle is still un-
used at my house."
Don't you think it was a very quick cure
for so bad a case?" was asked.
II certainly think it not only quick, an
swered Mr.. Schrock, "but wonderful, and I
feel that cannot say too much for Athlo-
phoros. / never let an opportunity pass
when L can recommend it, as it surely did
everything for me-"
Mr.. Schrock is now in the best of health,
and considers himself living example of
what Athlophoros can do for those whom
rheumatism has brought even to deaths
door.
