Old Residents of " sconsin.


one of the most prosperous and pro-
gressive States of the Union are fast
passing away. Every few days are
printed accounts of the death of some
village patriarch, whose tales of fights
with the Indians and of hardships en-
dured and overcome in earlier days
have seemed to the rising generation
like chapters in ancient history. To
those who still remain all honor is 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
these old residents and is well known,
not only in the State, but beyond its
borders as well. In rec0unting some
of his experiences recently he said:
Il have suffered more or less from
rheumatism and general debility for a
number of years. For the last year
the trouble has constantly increased
and for a month could not dress N.Y.
self 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 1 used various
remedies, but all to no purpose, and
continued to get worse. My attention
was called to Atlophoros. I pro-
cured bottle and on the 22d o1
January, 1884, began to use it. ]
took five doses and then slept easily
until eight o'clock in the morning.
then got up and dressed myself and
walked out without q cane. was
astonished at the result and could
hardly realize that the medicine had
produced such an effect. I am getting
to be an old mani am now seventy
two years old-and 1 don't suppose
that it will make me a young man, but
it will help the lamp Of life to burn
down calmly
Mrs. r. F. Bowers, of Racine, Wis.,,
is we'll known in that CITY as one of the
old residents, she having lived there
thirty-seven years. Her present ad.
dress is 902 State street. She has this
to say:
II have been troubled with rheuma
tism for the last three years. did not
suffer as much pain as some do with the
same complaint, my difficulty being
principally stiffness Of the joints. The
trouble was mostly in my knee joints
and it was with much difficulty that
could bend them. especially IN going
up and down stairs. During the time
was troubled in this way I tried man,
medicines without any good effects
Athlophoros came to my notice, and be
ing anxious to get some relief thought
I would try it. After using it for {
short time was able to bend my knee!
easily and could 20 up or down stairs. :
Mrs. T. B. Neff, of Calamine, Wis.
who has herself been benefited BY tax
ing Athlophoros for her rheumatism
tells an interesting story of the i'm
provement wrought IN her brother-in
law, Mr.. John w. Neff, of Calamine
an old gentleman of seventy-five years
She says:
when he got the first bottle o.
Athlophoros, which sent for for him
he was so badly off with rheumatism
and had been for nearly year that b,
could not step without two crutches
1t took two or three men to help hin
out of wagon or sleigh, and he coult
not dress or undress himself alone
He had paid out great many dollar
for remedies. He took eighteen bottle
of Athlophoros. and now he can wall
three-quarters of mile with just on
cane, and can hoe in the garden ant
chop wood"
