REV. HENRY WARD BEEcHER'S
BROTHER,

Inc Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has three
brothers living, One of these is the Rev.
CHARLES Beecher, known as the writer of
some OF the most quaint and touching
hymns in the English language. Another
Is the Rev. Edward Bcecher, a profound
theologian, far advanced in years, and liv-
ing in Brooklyn, where he breaches from
time to time. A third brother is the Rev.
William Henry Beecher, who is spending
the serene years of a mellow old age at his
home, 6 Honore street, Chicago. MI.
Beecher is eighty-four years old, and, with
the exception of the natural infirmities of
age, is a hearty and vigorous old gentle
man.
a gentleman who recently visited Mr..
Beecher at his home, found him in an en-
ceedingly genial frame of mind and by no
means i%ndisposed to talk about the relief
he had obtained from the rheumatism.
which for many years had been a source of
trouble to him. III reply to a question, the
venerable gentleman Remarked: "Why, you
want to know about Athlophoros. 1t is the
greatest medicine in the world for rheu-
matism. l had suffered with that disease
for fifteen years. My hands and my joints
were swelled. 1 had much pain, and many
sleepless nights. 1t took M pain away,
and gave me power to sleep. Do not
understand me to say that my rheumatism
is all gone. 1t would be a miracle if
rheumatism could be entirely driven away
from an old man like me, who has had it
for years. 1 have some Of it left, and oc-
casionally l feel its pains. Then 1 take
more Athlophoros, and the pains are driven
away. Even if it can't entirely drive QUE
the cause Of pain from a man who has had
it SO long, it takes the pain away, and that
is a great deal. Sometimes l had frightful
pains at night, before going to bed. Then
l would take a dose of Athlophoros, and l
soon find the pain all gone, so that l could
ENJOY a calm and refreshing nights rest.
81 believe Athlophoros will cure chronic
rheumatism. l know that is saying a great
deal for it; but l say it. A tough old case
of rheumatism like mine is very hard to
cure, l know. Blu see my hands; they are
no longer swelled as they were. l am free
from the pains | used to have. l sleep
we'll, and what more can an old man Of 81
ask for?

firmed what her father had said, and gave
her testimony to the great advantages he
had received from the use of Athlophoros.
For a number of years, Mr.. G. l.. Wet
more, of the well-known wholesale clothing
house of Messrs. Thompson Il Wetmore,
Isl 4 1873 Fifth Ave-, Chicago, was greatly
afflicted with rheumatism, Which interfered
not only with his personal comfort, but also
with his ability to attend to business. He
is now well.
Calling on Mr.. Wetmore, at his store Oh
Fifth avenue, the gentleman found him
willing to converse as to his experience in
regard to rheumatism.
81 an told, Mr.. Wetmore, that you GOT
rid of your rheumatism by the help OF
A%thlophoros. Is that true?!"
"Well, 1 had been for q long while
troubled with rheumatism, and l had tried
almost everything in the line OF medicine; ]
may fairly say that Athlophoros finished
the rheumatism, and finally overcame it
Some OF the other remedies had given me
relief, which proved only temporary
II incomplete. But it was not so witt
the AthlOphoros. Since 1 have taken il
| find that 1 have no more rheu
matte pains, either to annoy me by
day, or to interfere with my sleep by night.
My rheumatism was at times very severe.
| All my joints were swollen, and were very
painful. l was detained at home some
times as much as a month at a time, suf-
fering acutely and unable to attend to bust
ness. Now that Athlophoros has finished
the rheumatism, l am happy to say that my
sleep is good, my appetite is regular and
healthy, and l am every day attending to
business"
