TWO RIVAL CITIES.

In the long and at times bitter rivalry
between ConHecticuts two biggest cities
Hartford and New Haven-honors now
seem to be pretty equally divided Hart
ford has secured the State Capital, one of
the most beautiful in the country, situated
in lovely park, but New Haven has gone
ahead in population. In the political
rivalry between the two, also New Haven,
by her Democratic majority, has succeeded
III putting the trim little State on the list
of those that voted for President Cleveland.
Hartford, however, is just now proud of
having had her many charms set forth at
length, with plenty of illustrations, in the
pages of Harpers' Magazine, and SO the
struggle goes on. Brains will succeed in
putting one or the other city ahead, and
just here it may be said that New Haven
has an exceptionally brainy bar. But,
then, Hartford has more literary people
Charles Dudley Warner, Mark Twain, Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe and others. Among
the able lawyers of New Haven is Edward
A. Anketell, the assistant clerk of the Su-
perior Court, who Office is No. 10 in the
Court House. Mr.. Anketell is well known
to the legal profession throughout Connec-
ticut and has also the reputation of being
a favored writer for the press. AS such
this little story, coming from him under
date Of September "a, 1885, possesses no
slight interest:
"Day re yesterday, and for day or
two pr creto | suffered great pain in
my rig arm, which felt sure was rheu-
matte. Being determined to do something
to relieve the pain if possible sent out
and got bottle of Athlophoros, and took
three doses during the day. Yesterday
morning the pain was nearly gone and one
more dose completed the cure, SO that to-
day my arm is as well as ever"
Mr. Anketell was wise in taking such
prompt measures to check the pain.
Doubtless if Mr.. Morris Hobbs, of Hamp-
ton, N. H., had known of the existence of
Athlophoros, the rheumatism from which
he suffered would have been cured with
elnal speed long ago. Mr.. Hobbs thus
tells the story of his cure:
II had the rheumatism nine months be-
fore | heard of your Athlophoros. was
PROSTATE all that time and could donothing.
had several doctors, but they did no
good. tried all the medicine / could hear
of with no better results. At last / saw
Athlophoros advertised and sent for some.
On the day it arrived I took three doses
in the afternoon before went to bed, and
that night slept as well as 1 did when
boy. 1t seemed to kill the pain at once
and I never have been troubled since
My joints were badly swollen at the time,
but as soon as the pain stopped the swell
ing began to go down very gradually.
am satisfied that if had taken Athlo-
phoros when was first troubled with the
disease it would have saved me $500 in
expenses, time and pain.
'I have recommended it to several others
in this place with equally good results.
One case was that of boy Is years old,
who was SO badly afflicted with rheuma-
tism that his father had to carry him up
stairs to bed for two weeks. His mother
came to me to inquire about Athlophoros.
/ advised her to get it at once by all means
and she did. In two days after taking the
medicine the boy was out at play with
other boys, being entirely cured and has
been well ever since.
