The old residents who first settled Wis
sonsin and have watched it grow from q
thinly populated territory into one OF the
most prosperous and progressive States OF
the Union are fast passing away. Every
lew days are printed accounts OF the death
Of some village patriarch. whose tales OF
fights with the Indians and of hardships
endured and overcome in earlier days have
seemed to the rising generation like chap
ters in ancient history. To those who still
remain all honor due. They will not
be with US long, but while they yet tarry
their experience and advice should be
needed. Samuel Barstow, OF Lancaster,
Wis, is one OF those old residents and is
well known, not only in the State, but be-
yond it's borders as well. In recounting
some OF his experiences recently he said:
II have suffered more or less fr ON rheu-
matism and general debility for number
OF years. For the last year the trouble
has constantly increased and for month
| could not dress myself or get up from my
chair without help. From my head to my
feet every cord and muscle was stiff and
sore. During this time i used various RENE
dies, but all to no purpose and continued
to get worse. My attention was called to
Athlophoros. procured bottle and on
the 22d OF January, 1884, began to use it.
took five doses and then slept easily UNI
til eight O'Clock in the morning. i then
got up and dressed myself and walked out
without a cane. / was astonished at the
result and could hardly realize that the
medicine had produced such an effect. /
am getting to be an old mani am now
seventy two years old-and l don't sup
pose that it will make me a young man,
but it will help the lamp OF life to burn
down calmly"
Mrs. R. +. Bowers, OF Racine, Wis, is
well known in that city as one OF the old
residents, she having lived there thirty sew
Ell years. Her present address is 9O2
State Street. She has this to say:
Il have been troubled with rheumatism
Tor the last three years. / did not suffer as
much pain as some do with the same COM
plant, my difficulty being principally stiff
ness OF the joints. The trouble was most
ly in my knee joints and it was with much
difficulty that l could bend thsm especially
in going up and down stairs. During the
time l was troubled in this way tried
many medicines without any good effects.
Athlophoros came to my notice, and being
anxious to get some relief / thought l
would try it. After using it for a short
time l was able to bend my knees easily
and could &C up or down stairs"
Mrs. T. b. Neff, OF Calamine, Wis, who
has herself been benefited by taking Athlo-
phoros for her rheumat ism, tells an inter-
estng story OF the improvement wrought
in her brother-in-law, Mr.. John w. N fl, OF
Calamine, an old gentleman ofseventy
years. She says:
when he got the first bottle OF Athlo-
phoros, which / sent for for him, he was SO
badly off with rheumatism and had been
for nearly a year that he could not step
without two crutches. 1t took two or
three men to help him out OF a wagon or
sleigh, and he could not dress or undress
alone. He had paid out great many dol
lars for remedies. He took eighteen bot
ties OF Athlophores, and now he can walk
three-quarters of mile with just one cane,
and can hoe in the garden and chop wood"
