The Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1885-1886, 1885-11-24

Miss Eilmans"gg and her golden
leg" will never he forgotten so long as
the genius Of Thomas Hood, with all his
gentle htlmor and tender pathos, is re-
nembcred, but it l.; doubtful if any one
will ever envy the heroine OF that poem
her unique limb, which brought with it
% many nlisiortunes. In this prosaic
age a good strong leg OF flesh, bone and
muscle, is much to be preferred whether
its possessor be n professional pedestrian,
ora solid unassuming citizen
1t is to this last class that Mr.. M. P.
Schrock, of O72 West Lake street, Chicago,
belongs. Mr.. Schrocls is 4 well-known
dry goods merchant, and counts himself
fortunate in having pair OF good strong
legs. For one Of his legs he has
peculiar regard, as he came near
losing it through rheumatism. Athlo-
phoros saved it for him however, and for
that invaluable remedy he now cherishes
an almost equal regard. The story is
well told by Mr.. Schrock in his own
words:
During the Spring Of 1884 1 was
stricken with rheumatism in its very
worst form, and was confined to my bed
entirely helpless for about four weeks.
My leg panied me SO intensely that
could not let it rest on the bed without
some support. So l had pulley ut
tachcd from the ceiling and to that Il
sling was fastened. l could rest my leg
in this, changing the height, and in thai
manner l managed to obtain some little
relief. During the four weeks l lay in
bed tried many remedies without avail!
Finally made change and employed
physicians. They tried their very best
to give me relief, but could not. Instead
of getting better, was growing worse.
My doctor finally decided that it would
be necessary to make an incision in my
thigh, and if there was not marked i'm
provement in my condition from that
operation that tamputation of my leg
would be required. This, as you may
we'll imagine, discouraged and disheart-
ened me beyond measure. About this
time my wife noticed in Richmond
indy paper, for which we subscribe,
the name of personal friend who had
been cured by the use of Athlophoros.
She called my attention to it, and l said
bought bottle, the doctor was discharg-
ed and we began using it Immediately.
l experienced great relief in the first
few doses. In two days after l began
with the medicine, was in my store
attending to my business, and l have not
been troubled with rheumatism since"
"IIow much Athlophoros did you Use
for this remarkable cure, Mr. Schrock?"
"About one and third bottles. The
remaining two-thirds Of bottle is still
unused at my house."
"Don't you think it was very quicl,
cure for so bad case ?" was asked.
81 certainly think it not only quick"
answered Mr.. Schrock, "but wonderful,
and l feel that cannot say too much
for Athlophoros. l never let an oppor-
tunity pass when l can recommend it,
rs it surely did everything for me-"
Mr.. Schrock is now in the best of
health, and considers himself a living
example of what Ath!ophcros can do
for those whom rheumatism has brought
even to deaths door.
