that at last her suferings would come 70 an
end. She was just budding into womanhood;
nne-looking girl OF nearly nineteen, who
had, previous to her attack OF illness. enjoy

pain in her thigh and hip. For while she
came so severe that she had TO stay at home,

lounge here In the sitting-room. We tried
the best physicians we could get. The
disease banied them all. One said It

undergo terrible operation. 1t turned out
TO be sciatio rheumatism. Poor child how
she did sufferl About four o'clock In the
afternoon she would begin screaming with
pain. She couldn't help It. She would scream
and moan till about four In the morning.
Then she would fall asleep from WEAKNESS,
ana sleep for some hours. This went on for
about eight months. During the nights
neither she nor could sleep.

paper she saw an advertisementot Athlopho-

poor child's pain and put her into gentle
sleep. She slept nicely until ten. Then she
was in a great perspiratioh. She walked, and
gave her another dose, for the first had
done her SO much good. Then she fell asleep
again and slept until morning. Her pain was
gone. She had hardly any returns OF 1t. The
Athlophoros did the work for her most COM

Katie's leg up, and made IL shorter than it
for life, although the rheumatism was all
driven out of her She had to walk on
crutches. One day she fell down stairs, and
was o badly burt that she had to be taken to
the hospital. There she suffered q great
deal, and after some weeks she died.
Father Tscheider, OF the Paulist Fathers,
saw much OF Katie during her illness, and
