HENRY WARD BEECHER's BROTHER.

The 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 Beecher, 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 q mellow old age at his
home, Honore street, Chicago. Mr..
Beecher is "a years old, and, with the ex-
ception of the natural iniirmities of age, is
hearty and vigorous old gentleman.
A gentleman who recently visited Mr..
Beecher Mt his home, found him in an ex-
ceedingly genial frame of mind and by no
means indisposed to talk about the relief
he had obtained from the rheumatism,
which for many years had been source
oftrouble to him. In reply tot question, the
venerable gentleman remarked, "Why, you
want to know about Athlophoros. 1t is
the greatest medicine in the world for rheu-
matism. had suffered with that disease
for fifteen years. My hands and my joints
were swclled. / had much pain, and many
sleeplcss nights. 1t took my pain away,
and gave me power to sleep. Do not
understand me to say that my rheumatism
is all gone. 1t would be miracle if rheu-
matism could be entirely driven away
from an old man like me, who has had It
for years. j have some of it left,
and occasionally | feel its pains. Then |
take more Athlophoros, and the pains are
driven away. Even if it can't entirely
drive out the cause ofpain from a man who
has had it SO long, it takes the pain away,
and that is great deal. Sometimes had
frightlul pains at night, before going to
bed. Then l would take dose of Athlo-.
phoros, and soon find the pain all gone,
so that could enjoy calm and refreshing
nights rest.
81 believe Athlophoros will cure chronic
rheumatism. l know that is saying great
deal for it; but say it. A tough old case
of rheumatism like mine is very hard to
cure, know. But see my hands; they are
no longer swellcd as they were. am free
from the pains l used to have. / sleep
well, and what more can an old man Of "a
ask for?"
Mr.. Beecher's daughter cheerfully con-
| frmcd what her father had said, and gave
her testimony to tho great advantages he
had received from the use of Athlophoros.
For number Of years, Mr.. c. l.. Wet
more, of the well known wholesale cloth
ing house of Mcssrs. Thompson d Wetmore,
15l & 153 Fifth Ave-, Chicago, was greatly
| afflicted with rheumatism, which interlercd
| not only with his personal comfort, but also
with his ability to attend 10 business lie
is now we'll.
Calling on Mr.. Wetmore, at his store
on Fifth avenue, the gentleman, found
him willing to converse as to his cxpcr-
fence in regard to rheumatism.
81 am told, Mr.. Wctmore, that you got
rid of your rheumatism by the help Of
Athlophoros. Is that trueW
"Wcll, 1 had been for long while
troubled with rheumatism, and / had
tried almost everything in the line Of
medicine, / may fairly say that Athlophoros
finished the rheumatism, and finally over
came it. Some of the other remedies
had given me relief, which proved only
temporary and incomplete. But it was
not so with the Athlophoros. Since 1
have taken it find that have no more
rheumatic 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. 1 was detained at
home sometimes rs much as month at a
time, suffering acutely and unable to attend
to business. Now that Athlophoros has
finished the rheumatism, am happy to
say that my sleep is good, my appetite is
regular and healthy, and am every day
attending to business"
