miss Kilnanscag and her golden
leg" will never be ior often so long as
the genius OF TionI&} Hood, with all his
gentle humor and tender rathos, is re-
membered, but it il doubtful if any one
will ever envy the heroine of that poem
her unique limb, which brought with it
so many misfortunes. In this prosaic
age good strong leg of flesh, bone and
muscle, is much to be preferred whether
its possessor be professional pedestrian,
or solid unassuming citizen.
1t is to this last class that Mr.. M. p.
Schrock, of 672 West Lake street, Chicago,
belongs. 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 he has
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.. Schrocl. in his own
words:
"During the Spring OF 1884 l was
stricken with rheumatism in its very
worst form, and was confined to my bed
entirely helpless for about four week
My leg panied me SO intensely that
could not let it rest on the bed withn
some support. So l had pulley 1T
tached from the ceiling and to that :
sling was fastened. / could rest my leg
in this, changing the height, and in that
manner l managed to obtain some little
relief. During the four weeks l lay IL
bed | tried many remedies without avail
Finally | made a change and employed
physicians They tried their very best
to give me relief, but could not. Instead
of getting better, l 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
provemcnE in my condition from that
operation that amputation of my leg
would be required, This, as You may
well imagine, discouraged and disheart.
cned me beyond measure. About this
time my wife noticed in Richmond

The name of a personal friend who had
been cured by the use Of Athlophoros.
She called my attention to it, and | said
At once, Get Z bottle and try it, She

ed and we began using it Immediately.
| experienced great relief in the first

"TIow much Athlophoro5 did you Use
for this remarkable cure, Mr.. Schrock?'
"About one and third bottles. The
remaining two-thirda Of bottle is still
unused at my house"
Don't You think 1t was a very quick
