A JOYFUL NEW HAVEN TAILOR.

There are no misfts" at the establish ment of Kraft Brothers, the tailors, of Gen. tre street, New Haven. Everybody in Connecticut knows the reputation of these gentlemen for good work and for reliabil- ity. Cheerful and busy men they are and closely attentive to their business.
 To look at Mir. Henry Kraft as he is now, briskly and busy, attending to the details of store affairs, nobody would SUD- pose that he had been great sufferer from rheumatism. But such is the case. He IS now a perfectly well man, and therefore his story may be of interest to those who have felt the tortures of rheumatism as he did. One of our writers spent an hour with him not long ago, and listened to the : narration of his experience.
 "I have had several severe attacks of rheumatism which were so bad as to lay me up, and have had a great number of lesser attacks of it. It is cruel disease, and assure you am glad to be rid of 1t. My first attack was about six years ago. My last attack was somewhat over two years ago. It was big one. had taken a severe cold, and the rheumatism came on suddenly and with great sharpness. In the previous attacks 1 had never used Athlophoros, for had never heard of it. But now had heard that there was such a medicine and sent for MT. Searles who makes it, and asked him to be my doc tor. MT. Searles said he did not attend anybody as a physician, but he sent me bottle of the Athlophoros medicine with directions how to take it. Oh what a sweat I had when I took that medicinel Why, sweat all night. My pain had been chiefly in my side and the calf of my leg, and when 1t took me suddenly it would knock me over. In this attack the pain had extended pretty much all over my body. In the morning after l took the .Athlophoros I had no pain above my waist. With towels my precipitation was wiped of, keeping the upper part of me cool and dry. It seemed as if the pain was going out by the way of my feet. Now it was in the lower part of my body. Within forty y-eight hours after had taken my first dose of Athlophoros the pain was all gone. It left for while a sort of a tingling in my. toes, but before long that was gone too.
 "Well, in my joy at being rid of the pain suppose came out of the house too soon. Tell people they ought to be care full about that. 1 had more pain, although not nearly as severe as what l had suffer- ed. l went home again and staid for two or three days, taking more Athlophoros. When came back to the store l was per fectly well, and since that have had none of the trouble, except some sharp pains which catch me once in while, just for a moment. I feel a bit of a twinge, and then it is all over. These pains are not severe enough to make me feel the need of any more medicine, though I keep the Ath- lophoros and would take it if my pains were to return with any severity. l be- ieve the great cause of the pain is gone, and I know that the Athlophoros made it go:
 "Do I believe in Athlophoros, then? Well, you may say I do; and you would be sure of it if you could hear me recommend ing it to my friends. There is one man over at the Court House. can't think of his name now-but everybody knows him there. He had rheumatism so bad that he couldn't stand up. One night met him in street car. I told him about Athlo- phoros and he got some, and got rid of his rheumatism entirely. There are good many more, too, that were cul ed in the same way, and have been cured by this medicine. I never heard so much talk about any other medicine as I have heard about this"
 It is worthy of consideration in regard to the work of Athlophoros that where it is best known it is most highly prized. The words which are spoken in its praise come from people who are most widely known in the communities where they reside. In- quire among any of the druggists who sell Athlophofos, and the result of the inquiry will be the information that Athlopioros is in growing favor and increasing demand among the people, and that those who have used it are most earnest in speaking of the good it has done them.
