POOR Katie. great sufferer she was,
and most patiently did she endure in the
hope that at last her sufferings would come
to an end. She was Just budding into
womanhood a fine-looking girl OF nearly
nineteen, who had, previous to her attack
oil illness, enjoyed robust health.
Let her mother tell the story, as size told
1t to two OF our editorial friends who re
Gently spent AZ evening at the house.
katie's Illness came on slowly, with
great pain IN her thigh and hip. For n
Whlle she kept on going to school, but the
pains became so severe that she had to
stay at home, and most OF the time lie down
on little lounge here in the sitting-room.
We tried the best physicians we could get
The disease bafied them all One said 1t
was liberation Of the thigh bone, and
wanted to have the poor child undergo a
terrible operation. 1t turned out 10 be
seattle rheumatism. Poor child How she
did suffer! About four O'Clock in the alter
noon she would begin screaming with PAIN
She couldn thelpit. She would scream and
moan till about four in the morning. Then
she would fall asleep from WEAKNESS, and
sleep for some hours. This went on Tor
about eight months. During the nights
neither she nor | could sleep.
Katie was a great reader. One day, IN
a paper, she saw an advertisement OF Ath-
IOphOrOs. She asked nue. to get 1t and see
II 1t wouldn't cure her. We had tried a
good many different things, but | thought
we would try this. And went and got "A
bottle. | gave her a dose OF 1T towards
evening. 1t was simply wonderful how IT
quoted the poor child pain and put her
into a gentle sleep. She slept nicely until
10. Then she was in great pcrspiration.
She walked, and | gave her another dose,
for the first one had done herso much good.
Then she fell asleep again and slept till
morning. Her pain was gone. She had
hardly any returns ofit. The Athlophoros
did the work for her most completely.
But the terrible sciatica had drawn
Katie's leg up, and made it shorter than it
had been, by several inches. She was lame
Tor life, although the rheumatism was all
driven out Of her She had TO walk on
crutches. One day she fell down stairs and
was so badly hurt that she had to be taken
to the hospital There She suffered great
deal, and after some weeks she died.
Father Tscheider, of the Paulist Faith
ers, saw much OF Katie during her illness,
and knows all about US. Go and ask him,
and he viii tell you all about it.
"Some time ago we gave a letter about
Katie's case, and it was published We
have had numerous inquiries III reference to
it, all OF which we promptly answer.
Il must tell you, continued Mrs. Gill,
"of our neighbor, Mrs. Summers, and her
ll-year-Old boy. Inc BOY rad one oil the
most terrible attacks OF rheumatism / ever
knew a boy to have. ! had a little Athlo-
phorOs left in the bottle from which Katie
had taken. | gave it to Mrs Summers, and
she gave it to the child who was screaming
with pain. When Mr.. Summers came home,
hewas surprised to find the boy sitting up,
free from pain, and cheeriully singing. |
wish you would go and see them. They
hive not far from here, on West 18th
Street, No. 9O5."
Mr.. Gill added in his own behalf:
Il have had a good deal of rheumatism
myself, chiefly in my shoulders and arms,
but | took Athlophoros and got rid of the
trouble. | did not have to take much
either. ! found the medicine acted very
quickly"
The Rev. Father Peter Tscheider, assist
ant pastor of the Church OF the Holy Fam
