Old Residents OF Wisconsiu.

Wisconsin and have watched it grow
from thlnly populated territory into
one of the most prosperous and
progressive States of the Union are
fast passing away. Every few days
are printed accounts of the death of
some village patriarch, whose tales of
fights with the Indians and of hard
ships endured and overcome in earlier
days have seemed to the rising
generation like chapters in ancient
history. To those who still remain
all honor is due. They will not be
with us long, but while they yet tarry
their experience and advice should be
needed. Samuel Barstow, of Lam
caster. Wis, is one of these old
residents and is we'll known, not only
in the State, but beyond its borders
as we'll. In recounting some of his
experiences recently he said:
II have suffered more or less from
rheumatism and general debility for
a number of years. For the last year
the trouble has constantly increased
and for a month could not dress my
self or get up from my chair without
help. From my head to my feet every
cord and muscle was stiff and SORE

astonished at the result and could
hardly realize that the medicine had
produced such an effect. l am getting

that it will make me a young man,
but it will help the lamp of life to
burn down calmly
Mrs. r. Fl Bowers, of Racine, Wis,
is well known in that city as one of the
old residents, she having lived there
thirty-seven years. Her present address
is 902 State street. She has this to say:
II have been troubled with rheu-
matism for the last three years. l did
not suffer as much pain as some do
being principally stiffness of the joints.
The trouble was mostly in my knee
joints, and it was with maEa difficulty
that could bend them, especially in
going up and down stairs. During the
time l was troubled in this way I tried
many medicines without any good
effects. Athlophoros came to my notice,
and being anxious to get some relief l
thought would try it. After using it
for a short time was able to bend my
knees easily and could 60 up or down
stairs
Mrs. T. B. Neff, of Calamine, Wis,
who has herself been benefited by TAX
ing Athlophoros tor her rheumatism,
tells an interesting story of the i'm
provement wrought in her brother-in-
law, Mr.. John w. Neff, of Calamine,
an old gentleman of seventy-tive years.
She says:
"When he got the first bottle of
Athlophoros, which 1 sent for for him,
he was so badly off with rheumatism and
had been for nearly year that he
could not step without two crutches. It
took two or three men to help him out
of wagon or sleigh, and he could not
dress or undress himself alone. He
had paid out great many dollars for
remedies. He took eighteen bottles of
Athlophoros, and now he can walk
three-quarters of a mile with just one
cane. and can hoe in the garden and
chop wood"
