a JOYFUL FEW HAm TAILOR.

There are no g misfts" At the establish
n.ent Of KRAFT Brothers, the tailors, Of Cen
ire street, New Haven. Everybody il
connecticut knows the reputation of these
gentlemen for good work and for RELIABLE
ity. Cheerful and busy men they are and
closely attentive to their business.
To look at Mr.. Henry Kraft as he is
now, briskly and busy, attending to the
details Of store affairs, nobody would sup
pose that he had been great sufferer from
rheumatism. But such is the case. He is
now perfectly we'll man, and therefore
his story may be Of interest to those who
have felt the fortunes 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.
II have had several severe attacks OF
rheumatism, which were SO bad as to lay
me up, and have had great number OF
lesser attacks of il. 1t is q cruel disease,
and assure You am glad 70 be nd Of 1t.
Ny first attack was about six years ago
Ny last attack was somewhat over two
years ago. It was a big one. ] had taken
a severe cold, and the rheumatism came on
suddenly and with great sharpness. In
the previous attacks had never used
Athlophoros, for had never heard OF 1t.
But now had heard that there was such
q medicine and sent for Mr.. Searles, who
makes it, and asked him to be my doc
tor. Mr.. Searles said he did not attend
anybody AZ a physician, but he sent me
bottle Of the Athlophoros medicine with
directions how TO take it. Oh what
sweat / had when / took that medicihel
Why, I sweat all night. My pain had
been chiefly in my side and the calf Of my
leg, and when it 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 / had no pain above my
waist. With towels my perspiration was
wiped of, keeping the upper part OF me
cool and dry. 1t seemed as If the pain was
going out by the way Of my feet. Now 1t
was in the lower part Of my body. Within
forty-cight hours after had taken my first
dose Of Athlophoros the pain was all gone.
II left for while a sort Of 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
fnl about that had more pain, although
not nearly as severe as what had suffer-
ed. | went home again and staid for two
or three days, taking more Athlophoros.
When came back to the store was per-
fectly we'll, and since that ] have had none
Of the trouble, except some sharp pains
which catch me once in while, just for a
moment. feel bit of twinge, and then
it is all over. These pains are not severe
enough TO make me feel the need of any
more medicine, though / keep the Ath-
iophoros and would take it if my pains
were to return with any severity. / be-
lieye the great cause of the pain is gone,
and know that the Athlophoros made it
go.
"Do I believe in Athlophoros, then?
Well, you may say do; and you would be
sure Of it ifyou 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. lie had rheumatism so bad that he
couldn't stand up. One night met him
in a street car. / told him about Athlo-
phoros and he got some, and got rid of his
rheumatism entirely. There are good
many more, too, that were cured in the
same way, and have been cured by this
medicine. ] never heard so much talk
about any other medicine as have heard
about this"
1t is worthy of consideration in regard
to the work Of Athlophoros that where it
is best known it is most highly priced. The
words which are spoken in its praise come
from people who are most widely known
in the communities where they reside. In
qnire among any of the druggists who sell
Athlophoros and the result ofthc inquiry
viii he the information that ktl' hor.
is in growing favor ard increasing demand
among the people, and that those who have
used i are most earnest in speaking Of the
good il has done them.
