LONGEVITY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Statistics show that New Hampshire is
pre-eminently the home Of the centenarian,
nonagenarian and octogenarian, OF hale
and hearty old men who began lie with
the republic. Indeed, so numerous are
the veterans of the war of 1872 IN some OF
the.remote towns of the Granite State that
a popular impression prevails there that
the last war" as it is still called by these
warriors of bygone days, was fought Ell.
tirely by New Hampshire regiments, and
that from Lundys Lane to the battle OF
New Orleans they carried the American
banner to the front on every hard-contest-
ed field. Many theories have been spun
as to why people should live to be older
in New Hampshire than in Vermont OF
Maine OF course, there must be some good
reason for it. Perhaps it is because ! ey
take better care oil their health and un0er-
stand what is the right medicine for the
right disease Such at least would seem
to be the inference from the following &C
count by Charles NJ. Lampney, Esq, a we'll
known attorney and counsellor, OF Hanp-
ton, n. H., OF how he was cured of rheu-
matism
81 have had several attacks of rheuma-
tism within the last thirty years." he says,
''and have got rid of them the best could
with the help of good physicians. The
last attack, which began in April, 1884,
was the severest. was daily under the
care of the doctor, who gave me the best
attention to relieve me of the severe pain
and to relax the contracted muscles. | was
taken in the back of the neck. In a few
days the pain moved down into the limbs,
and in the course of three weeks had run
all through the joints from head to foot.
At the commencement of the fourth week
it had apparently settled down to stay all
over me from the back of the head to the
toes, and was unable to move any part
of the body except the right hand at the
wrist joints. The day before, Deacon
Hobbs, a neighbor, who had been suffering
for several months with rheumatism, sent
me word that he was taking Athlophoros
and that it was doing him good. Ny father
accordingly sent to Boston for bottle. It
was brought into the house at s o'clock in
the evening and found me lying in bed
like a corpse.
'1 was about to give up the ghost and
of course was ready to take anything in
hopes that it might do some good. A dose
was administered and three hours later
another. My hearing became obtuse and
my head confused. dropped into a sleep
and slept all night. The next morning
after waking had no pain and could
move any part of the body. In the course
of three hours I sat up in bed without any
assistance. I continued to take the medi-
cine every three hours through the day
and part of the next day and then
stopped.
Gin a few days had very severe rheu-
matte pains in the thumb, and when I
went to bed one dose was administered. I
slept all night and in the morning the pain
was gone. A few days later it returned in
the left hand very seriously. On retiring
one dose was taken, followed by sleep and
no pain in the morning. The whole
amount of medicine taken was one and a
half bottles, and have had no occasion
to use any since Iconsider that the Ath-
lophoros saved my life and I recommend
it to all who have rheumatic troubles"
