The Iowa plain dealer. [volume] (New Oregon, Howard County, Iowa) 1867-1895, 1885-11-19
In Lincoln's Pithy style.

Ifbrevity is the soul of wit the terse
and condensed style OF expression COM
mon in the West may be said to carry
off the palm for wit. A better use to
which it may be put, however, is IN
clothing great truths in homcly but
telling fashion which commands atten-
ton and carries conviction. Lincoln
was master of this form ofexpression,
and the pithy and apt stories which
are attributed to him are apparently
without number. The facts which are
stated in the following extracts from
letters from residents Of Wisconsin lose
nothing because they are put conciscly:
"Athlophoros helped me greatly
says Samuel NJ. Bear, Of Cascade, land
probably were it not for complications
would have effected cure. l used
five bottles and am satisfied that the
medicine is good one.'
A. III. Luchenback. the druggist in
Watterick's block. Oconto, says:
mir. George Mccartney told me to-
day that he had spent over five hum
dred dollars in medicines for the benefit
of his rheumatism. hut that he had
never found anything which did him
any good until he tried bottle OF Ath-
lophoros, which made q permanent
cure 1t gives the best of satisfaction
and does all that is claimed for it.
From Beaver Dam the Rev. j. Z. Kim
der writes:
Il derived much benefit from Athlo-
phoros, but sometimes feel that am
not entirely free from rheumatism.
..Athlophoros,' Wallichs 4 Dlts,
druggists, at AZ Main street, Fon du
Lac. say: ..Seems to relieve recent at
tacks Of rheumatism promptly and in
old chronic cases affords great relief.
"A lady Of this city who has been trou-
bled with neuralgia most Of the time for
several years purchased a bottle OF
Athlophoros at our store and has since
informed us that she was entirely re-
licved before she had used more than
third Of bottle of it.
L. II. Spence, 303 Main street. La
Crosse, prominent chemist. and a
member Of the Board of Pharmacy OF
| the State Of Wisconsin says: Il have
recommended Athlophoros to my rheu-
| matte customers with good results
aud some special cases have
found permanent relief. In neuralgia
| it works like charm and consider it
the best specific on our shelves
I'VE have had a large sale of Athlo-
phoros," Palmer and Stevens, of James
! Vile, state, '.and better reports from 1t
than from any other medicine We ever
| sold for rheumatism and neuralgia
One party tried it for neuralgia and not
| only received almost instant re-
| lief from that, but was also
| cured of a rheumatic pain of long stand
ing in the knee. Another party +. l..
Dimmock. Esq, has been permanently
cured Of rheumatism by the use Of 4 few
bottles. We could cite many more
eases where the parties give the most
tiattering reports OF the benefit derived
from its use.
From the same city +. B. Helm
street writes:
"Athlophoros is giving the best OF sat
isfaction and its merits are now rec
ognized by many in this section
have the names of q number of peO-
pic in this county who have been helped
by it. !"
NEARLY every person who has pur-
chased Athlophoros at our drug store
pronounces it as being beneficial to
him. Says NJ. II. Pratt, Of Mon
| tello:'
