THE WRONG WAY TO GO UP STAIRS.

Going up stairs on ones hands and
knees is a method of ascent not uncom-
monty seen among infants who are Just
learning the mysteries and perplexities of
ambulation, but fortunately it is seldom
that those of mature years have to resort
to such means of progress. Mrs. j. C.
Chapman, well known resident of Mans
field, Mass, says that she once tried it and
failed, and that others may be deferred
from a similar experience it is perhaps
worth while to give her experience. Mrs.
Chapman now walks as upright as any
one. and gives this account of her at
tempt:
" | was perfectly helpless with an attack
Of acute rheumatism, and was all doubled
up. | could not sit upright even long
enough to eat meal. tried once to get
up stairs ON my hands and knees, utfailed.
After taking everything recommended by
my friends, and not getting the least bene-
ftfrom anything, Idespaired fever getting
around again. had lost all hope of being
cured when, like CLEAN of light, Athlo-
phoros was recommended to me by friend
who had used it with entire success. l
took it and have never been troubled with
rheumatism since, now three years. | can
cheerfully recommend Athlophoros to any
body suffering with rheumatism, for /
know from experience that it will make
complete and permanent cure"
From J. A. Crane & Co., prominent
druggists of Orange. Mass, comes this
statement of a case that came under their
observation
"Mr Shubel Briggs of this place, las
bought Athlophoros of us. He stated to
us to-day that his wife before taking it
could not move herself in bed, as she was
suffering from severe attack Of rheuma-
tism. After taking few doses of Athlo-
phoros she could move easily, and before
two bottles were finished she had recovered
completely and has not been troubled
since. Mr.. Briggs himself. who was
troubled with stiffness in the joints, used
some of the Athlophoros and experienced
decided relief"
Charles FL. Minchew, of Taunton, tells
this story of his wife's cure, which was not
unlike that of Mrs. Briggs:
My wife had been afflicted with rheu-
matism for some time, and I employed
doctor who failed to do her any good. |
happened to see Athlophoros advertised
and concluded to get and try it. 1t worked
like charm, curing my wife completely,
and / cannot speak too highly of it,"
Mr.. George Ell. Surgeons is foreman Of the
cloth room of the Flint mill, Flint Village,
Fall River, Mass. He lives at No. TAO
County Street, Fall River. OF his wife's
case he says:
Ny wife was treated by four different
doctors for severe case of neuralgia Of six
