WHEELS.

To make . wheel seems easy enough;
especially to people who know nothing
about il Just take round block with
hole in it for the hub; fix up some sticks
for spokes; knock some roundish bits
together for the rim; fasten the whole
thing and put tire around it, and your
wheel is made.
Well, with such . process, you might
make sort of wheel, and that 10 much
the way that some Of the old-fashioned
wheelwrights did.
But now the making Of wheels is
gigantic and well-ordered industry, just as
Is tho making of watches. A newspaper
correspondent went, the other day, to the
great factory Of the New Haven Wheel Co.
where the wheels are made. For forty years
this immense concern has been putting its
whole energy on wheels. Every kind of
wheel, from the slender and delicate look
ing sulky wheel, to the stout and heavy
wheels on which the big ire-engine is
hurried 10 the conhagration, is made here.
The object Of the visit was TO see two Of
the principal men in this factory, both OF
whom had been afflicted with rheumatism.
Mr.. n. j. Brown, who manages some Of
the important wood-cutting machinery,
when asked about his rheumatism replied:
"It is all gone, am glad 10 say, and
am a. we'll az ever, not having had touch
Of it for q long time. | was all bent
together and drawn up with pain, and for
weeks was laid aside from my work. The
rheumatism took me chiefly in my joints
and tell you it was bad, bad, bad. How
quickly was ! cured? Well, I'll tell you
I had tried good many things that
didn't cure me quickly; in fact they didn',
cure me at all. / was told that Athlopho-
ros would help me. Thought | might
much everything else that wa,
made. Well, got bottle. used it one
day. To my surprise, had less pain, and
le-s as kept on with it. The next day !
was decidedly better. ! went on improv-
ing day by day. | thought was done
with rheumatism when had used two
bottles Of Athlophoros, but it came at me
again, and | used four bottles in all
Since then ! have had no return Of my
trouble. | have been regularly ut work
here, IA anybody in the factory can tell
you. Let me take you up to Mr. MrKen-
zic, on the third floor. lie is one Vi the
men that believes in Athlophoros."
Ascending on the elevator, Mr.. VII
liam Mex enlie was found busy at his work
His whole cotntcnance lit up pleasantly
as he tod OF his recovery from a sever,
attack OF sciati,a.
"Yes," said he, II was indeed hn,'i.
crippled up, and was suffering aryg,
pain, too For two years and hall | NJ,
apt 10 be taken any day with violcI
scialic pains. and to be hobhling Und
scarcely able To work. Sometimes I vas
entirely laid up in the house, and could
not come out to work at all. Then there
were times when | could barely creep
along, and it WAS like drawing teeth to get
TO my work. NV scatiea would cone GA
suddenly, like the sharp thrust Of kui.,
with acute pain like tooth-ache If was
sitting down and tried to rise, it wo,ih
take me so that ! would find myself all
in heap ON the floor. Well, | heard
them say Athlophoros was good. harll,
believed il would do ANYTHING for me. bur,
got n bottle Just to try. had then been
laid up for two or three weeks in the
house. 1t did the work IL didn't cure
me all IN II minute, but it brought me up
gradually within week. That was
quickly enough, wasn't it, considering
what | had been through? That WAS
months ago, and | have had no sciatipa
since.
Zone of my neighbors. an old lady with
innammatory rheumatism, said she womld
try Athlophoros. think il was four bot.
ties she took, but whether /,
was four or more don't matter
much, for her rheumatism is all gone.
She Keeps part of n bottle Of Athloph"-
r"s in the house, and so do l. and |
wouldn't be without it. For if am ever
" have rheumatism or sciatica again.
that's what | want to have by me. and IL
ose it right ut once without any delay"
