BETTER THAN i csloEN LEG.

"Miss Kiln.2naeeg aud her golden
leg" will never lie forgotten so long as
the genius Of Thomas Hood, with all his
gentle humor and sender pathos, is re-
membered, bat it is doubtful if any one
will ever envy The heroine of that poem
her unique limb, which brought with it
20 many misfortunes. IN this prosaic
age good strong leg OF flesh, bone and
muscle, is much to be preferred whether
its possessor be a professional pedestrian,
ora solid unass1ming citizen.
1t is to this last class that Mr.. NJ. P.
SchrocE, of 672 West Lake street, Chicago,
belongs. Mr.. Schrock is a well-known
dry goods merchant, and counts himself
fortunate in having a pair of good strong
legs. For one Of his legs he has
q peculiar regard, as he came near
losing it through rheumatism. Athio-
phoros saved it for him however, and fer
that invaluable remedy he now cherishes
an almost equal regard. The story is
well told by Mr.. Schrock in his own

My doctor finally decided that it would

would be required. This, as you may
