BETTER ILA.. 10 DEN LEG.

"Miss Kilmansegg and her golden
leg" will never be forgotten SO long as
the genius of Thomas l.!cod, with all his
gentle humor and tender pathos, is re-
membered, but it is doubtlul if any one
will ever envy the heroine of that poem
her unique limb, which brought with it
70 many misiortunes. In this prosaic
age good strong leg Of flesh, lone and
muscle, is much to be preferred whether
its possessor be a professional pedestrian,
ora solid unassuming citizen.
1t is to this last class that MIR. NJ. p
Schrock, of G72 West Lake street, Chicago,
belongs. Mr.. Schrock is wcll-known
dry goods merchant, and counts himself
fortunate in having 4 pair Of good strong
legs. For one Of his legs he has
a peculiar regard, as he came near
losing it through rheumatism. Athlo-
that invaluable remedy he now cherishcs
an almost equal regard. The story ia
well told by Mr.. Schrock in his own
words:
During the Spring of 1884 1 was
stricken with rheumatism in its very
worst form, and was confined to my bed
entirely helpless for about four weeks
My leg panied me so intensely that
could not let it rest on the bed witho..
some support. So l had pulley nj
tached from the ceiling and to that =
sling was fastened. l could rest my Lee
in this, changing the height, and in thai
manner l managed to obtain some little
relief During the four weeks l lay il
bed tried many remedies without avail
Finally made 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 a marked i'm
provement in my condition from that
operation that tamputation of my leg
would be required. This, as you may
well imagine, discouraged and disheart-
ened me beyond measure. About this
time my wife noticed in a Richmond
indy paper, for which we subscribe,
the name of a personal friend who had
been cured by the use of Athlophoros.
She called my attention to it, and l said
at once, Get c bottle and try it, She
bought a bottle, the doctor was discharg-
ed and we began using it Immediately.
! experienced great relief in the first
few doses. In two days after l began
with the medicine, was in my store
attending to my business, and / have not
been troubled with rheumatism since"
allow much Athlophoros did you use
for this remarkable cure, Mr. Schrock?
"About one and third bottles. The
remaining two-thirds of bottle is still
unused at my house."
"Don't you think it was a very quick
cure for so bad a case 2" was asked.
81 certainly think it not only quick"
answered Mr.. Schrock, "but wonderful,
and 1 feel that l cannot say too much
for Athlophoros. never let an oppor-
tunity pass when l can recommend it,
as it surely did everything for me-"
Mr.. Schrock is now in the best of
health, and considers himself living
example of what Athlophoros can do
for those whom rheumatisIp has brought
even to deaths door.
