MR.. GlLL,s DAUGHTER

Poor Katiel great sufferer she was. and
most patiently did she endure in the hope that at
asst her suferinss might come TO an end. She
was just budding into vomsnhood; 9 fine look
ing girl Of nearly nineteen, who had, previous TO
her attack Of illnss enjoyed robust health.
Let her mother tel the story, as she told II to
two Of our EDITORIAL friends who recently spent an
evening st the house
"Katies illness came on slowly. with great pain
in her thigh and hip. For awhile she kept on
going to school. but the pains became so severe
that she had to stay as home and mast OF the
time to lie down on a little lounge here in the
sitting-room- We tried the best physicians we
could get The disease bafied them all. One
said it was liberation OF the thigh bone and want
ed to have the poor child undergo terrible opera
ton. 1t turned out to be sciatic rheumatism
Poor childl how she did suffer- About four
o'clock in the afternoon she would begin scream
ing with pain. She couldn't help il She would
scream and moan till about four in the morning.
Then she would fall asleep from WEAKNESS, and
sleep for some kc;:-s. This went on for about
eight months. During the nights neither she nor
I could sleep.
katie was great reader. One day In q paper
she saw an advertisement OF Ath.o shores She
asked me to get it and see if it wouldn't cure her
We had tried good many different things, bus
thought we would try this And went and got
q bottle. Igavs her dose of it toward evening
1t was simply wonderful how 1t quieted the poor
child's pain and put her into a gentle sleep. She
slept nicely until ten. Then she was in a great
perspiratiou. Ske walked, and gave her another
dose, for the first had done her so much good
Then she fell asleep again and slept until morn
ing. Her pain was gone. She had hardly any
returns Of it. The Athlophoros did the work for
her most completely.
"But the terrible seiatiea had drawn Katie's leg
up, and made it shorter than il had been by
several inches. She was lame for life, although
the rheumatism was all driven out OF her. She
had to walk on clutches. One day she fell down
stairs, and was so badly hurt that she had to be
taken to the hospital. There she suffered a great
deal, and after some weeks she died.
Father Tschsider, OF the Paulist Fathers, saw
much Of Katie during her illness, and knews all
about us. Go and ask him, and he will tell you
all about it.
Some time ago we gave a letter about Katie's
case, and it was published. We have had numer-
Gus inquiries in reference TO it, all OF which we
promptly answer.
II must tell you," continued Mrs Gill; ''ot our
neighbor, Mrs. Summers, and her eleven year
old boy. The boy had one OF the most terrible
attacks Of rheumatism ever knew a boy to
have. had a little Athlephoros left in the bottle
| from which Katie had taken. I gave it to Mrs.
Summers and she gave it to the child, who was
screaming with pain When Mr.. Summers came
home, he was surprised to Ind the boy sitting up,
free from pain, and cheerfully singing. wish
you would go and see them. They live not far
from here on West 12th street. Ne. 9o5."
| Mr. Gill added In his own behalf:
| Il have had good deal of rheumatism my
| self, chiefly in my shoulders and arms. But
| took Athophoros and got rid of the trouble.
| did not have 20 take much, either. 1 found the
| medicine acted very quickly"
The Rev. Father Peter Tscheider, assistant
| pastor of the Church of the Holy Family, was
| found at his pastoral residence, No. All West
| Twelfth Stu Get, Chicago. Father Tscheider took
/ pleasure in saying that he knew Mr.. and Mrs
| Gill; and that he esteemed them highly; also that
| he had seen Katie frequently duriAg her fine 5

| her illness at the hospital
