WHEN DOES OLD AGE Begin

WHEN DOES OLD AGE BEGISf
When does old age begin2 At forty-fve,
i is said, the amount of combustion which
keeps the furnace of the human body in
blast commences to decrease and diminishes
until three-score years and ten, more or
less, when the fires are drawn and the
Pickering flame dies ont. That is the
physiological way Of looking at it. But
some men are old before they are out of
their teens, while others apparently never
grow old, though they live to be centen-
arians. The poets way Of looking at it is
the best:
"Call him not old whose visionary brain
Holds DER the past its undivided reign
POr him in vain the envious seasons roll
Who bears eternal summer in his soul.'
This at least seems to be the way in
which David Iittell, ofSumner, Ia, looks
at life, for though now in his eighheth
year he has taken new lease on life
and is apparently determined 10 hold on
TO it. Athlophoros did il for him and he
acknowledges his debt to it in terms OF
enthusiasm Mr.. Littell tells his own story;
was past seventy-seyen and had been
afflicted with rheumatism three years and
eight months. | had lost one-third of my
weight and could rot walk, but shuiiled
along with crntches. Sleep had deserted
me, my nerves were all shattered, and there
was no strength in my hands, wrists, knees
or feet. | could not sit down or 60 up out
of a chair without help, and oh 81 Il pain,
worse at night than in the day. Tnere was
neither sleep nor rest, and the outlook was
painful in the extreme.
" But thanks be to God and Brother
Inskip for sending ne paper containing
notice of the cures made by Athlophoros
and thanks be to you for sending me a
bottle. 1t appears to me the hand of God
is in il all the way, and if you did not hear
me shout why then | did not shout loud
enough, that is all. The medicine arrived
one Saturday night after hadgone to bed.
| In the morning my son prepared me dose
! of two teaspoonfuls in milk, took 1t and
| felt it at once all over. After that | took
but one teaspoonlul at time until / had
finished the bottle. How did it act? Why,
like a charm. On Monday morning / rose,
! dressed, and walked ont into the kitchen
without crutches or cane and wished them
all happy New Year.
MY pam IS all gone anu rest we'll
My son, seeing such great change in me,
wrote for ten bottles in order, as he says,
| 10 make permanent cure oft IL is all
moro like dream than reality. / have
written to four Of my friends who are
| afflicted with rheumatism about the great
medicine and shall write to others, and in
this way try to pay the debt of gratitude.
"Some fourteen months ago. says A.
| Hayward. of Burlington, Ia, 81 was at
tackled with inilammatory rheumatism.
| tried dozen different kinds of medicine
said to cure rheumatism, but to no pur-
pose. Finally, | procured a bottle OF
Athlophoros. After using the bottle i
did me so much good that | bought
another but did not have to use moro than
third of the second bottle before | was
entirely cured From that time up TO the
| present ! have never had anything like
rheumatic pains, and thank Athlophoros
for the cure"
Thomas McCue, Bush's block, Dubuque
La, whose wife was cured by Athlophoro'
of a terrible case of rheumatism, declare,
it was "truly a miracle in my wifes case
