1t il to this last class that Mr.. M. P.
s'ahrock, of G72 West Lake street, Chicago,
iaOngs. Mr.. Schrock is a well-known
dry goods merchant, and counts himself
fortunate in having pair of good strong
legs. For one of his legs lie has
e peculiar regard, as he came near
losing it through rheumatism. Athlo-
phoros 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 I WIS
stricken with rheumatism in its very
worst form, and was confined to my bed
entirely helpless for about four weeks.
My leg panied me SO intensely that /
could not let it rest on the bed without
some support. So l had n pulley at
sling was fastened. | could rest my leg
in this, changing the height, and in thai
manner | managed to obtain some little
relief During the four weeks l lay in
bed tried many remedies without avail,
Finally | made change and employed
physicians. They tried their very best
to give me relief, but could not. Instead
of getting 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 marked i'm
proycmcnt in my condition from that
operation that amputation of my leg
would he required. This, as You may
well Imagine discouraged and disheart-
oned me beyond measure. About this
time my wife noticed in Richmond
,ind.) paper, for which We subscribe,
.hc name of q personal friend who had
been cured by the use of Athlophoros.
.hc called my attention to it, and l said
81 once, Get & bottle and try it. She
bought bottle, the doctor was discharg-
cd and we began using it Immediately.
| experienced great relief in the first
few doses. In'.two days after l began
with the medicine, | was in my store
attending to my business, and | have not
been doubled with rheumatism since"
GLOW much Athlophoros did you use
for this remarkable cure, Mr.. Schrock?"
"About one and a third bottles. The
remaining two-thirds Of bottle is still
unused at my house.
"Don't you think it was u very quick
cure for so bad a case?" was asked.
al certainly think it not only quick"
answered Mr.. Sehrock, "but wonderful,
and feel that cannot say too much
for Athlophoros. ! never let an oppor-
tunity pass when l can recommend it,
as it surely did everything for me"
Mr.. Schrocl 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
