HENRY WARD BEECHER,s BROTHER

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has three
brothers living. One of these is the Rev.
Charles Beecher, known as the writer of some
of the most quaint and touching hymns in
the English language. Another is the Rev.
Edward Beecher, profound theOlegian. far
advanced in years, and living in Brooklyn,
where he breaches from time to time. A
third brother is the Rev. William Henry
Beecher, who is spending the serene years
of a mellow old age at his home Honore
street. Chicago. Mr.. Beecher is 81 years old.
and with the exception of the natural in
firmities of age, is hearty and vigorous old
gentleman.
A gentleman who recently visited Mr.
Beecher at his home, found him in an ex-
ceedingly genial frame of mind and by no
means indispOsed to talk about the relief
he had obtained from the rheumatism,
which for many years had been source of
trouble to him. In reply to a question, the
venerable gentleman remarked: ''Why, you
want to know about AthlophorOs. 1t is the
greatest medicine in the world for rheuma-
tism. / had suffered with that disease for
fifteen years. My hands and my joints were
swelled. / had much pain, and many sleep
less nights. It took my pain away,
and gave me power TO sleep. Do not
understand me to say that my rheuma-
tism is all gone. 1t would be a miracle if
rheumatism could be entirely driven away
from old man like me, who has had it
for years. | have some of it left, and Oc-
casionally feel its pains. Then I take more
AthlophOros, and the pains are driven away.
Even if it can't entirely drive out the cause
of pain from q man who has had it so long, it
takes the pain away, and that is great deal.
Sometimes / had frightful pains at night be-
fore going to bed. Then would take a dose
Of AthlophorOs and l soon find the pain all
gone, SO that [ could enjoy a calm and re-
freshing nights rest.
Il believe AthophOrOs will cure chronic
rheumatism. l know that is saying great
orr r. hI1 I say ! OLE raac of
rheumatism like mine is very hard to cure, I
know. But see my hands they are nc longer
sWelled as they were. | am free from the
pains used to have. sleep well, and what
more can an old man of 81 ask fOr?''
Mr.. Beecher's daughter cheerfuny con-
firmed what her father had said, and gave her
testimony to the great advantages he had re-
ceived from the use of AthlOphoros.
For number of years, Mr.. G. L. WetmOre,
of the well-knOwn wholesale clothing house
OF Messrs. Thompson & Wetmore, Isl and 1913
Fifth Ave, Chicago, was greatly afflicted
with rheumatism, which interfered not only
with his personal comfort, but also with his
ability to attend to business. He is now we'll
Calling on Mr.. Wetmore, at his store on
Fifth avenue, the gentleman, found him will
ing to converse as to his experience in regard
to rheumatism.
II am told, Mr.. Wetmore, that you got rid
of your rheumatism by the help of AthlOphO-
r0s. Is that true!'
ssWell I had been for long while trOu bled
with rheumatism, and l had tried almost
everything in the line Of medicine. I may
fairly say that AthlophOrOs finished the
rheumatism, and finally OVercame Il. Some
of the other remedies had given me relief,
which proved only temporary and incomplete
But it was not so'with the AthlophOrOs. Since
I have taken it I find that | have no more
rheumatic pains, either to annoy me by day
or to interfere. with my sleep by night. My
rheumatism was at times very severe. All
my joints were swollen, and were very pain
full. ] was detained at home sometimes as
much as d month at a time, suffering acutely
and unable to attend to business. Now that
Athlophoros has finished the rheumatism,
am happy to say that my sleep is good, my
appetite is regular and healthy, and 1 am
every day attending to business"
