THE WRONG WAY TO GO UP STAIRS.

Going up stairs on one's hands and knees is a method of ascent not uncon- monly 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 deterred from 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:
 "I was perfectly helpless with an attack of acute rheumatism, and was all doubled up. I could not sit upright even long enough to eat a meal. l tried once to get up stairs on my hands and knees, but failed. After taking everything recommended by my friends, and not getting the least bene- tfrom anything, I Idespaired of ever getting around again. had lost all hope of being cured when, like gleam of light, Athlo- phoros was recommended to me by a friend who had used it with entire success. I took it and have never been troubled with ' rheumatism since, now three years. can cheerfully recommend Athlophoros to any body suffering with rheumatism, for I know from experience that 1t 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 a severe attack of rheuma- tism. After taking few doses of Athlo- phores she could move easily, and before two bottles were finished she had recovered completely and has not been troubled since. MT. Briggs himself, who was troubled with stiffness in the joints, used some of the Athlophoros and experienced decided relief"
 Charles H. 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. I happened to see Athlophoros advertised and concluded to get and try it. It worked like a charm, curing my wife completely, and cannot speak too highly of it."
 Mir. George H. Surgens is foreman of the cloth room of the Flint mill, Flint Village, Fall River, Mass. He lives at No. 40 County Street, Fall River. Of his wife's case he says:
 "My wife was treated by four different doctors for severe case of neuralgia of six years standing. Her sufferings were terri ble and the physicians could not allay them, though using the most powerful medicines all the time. As she was getting worse and worse I bought a bottle of Athlophoros, and that brought the first and only relief my wife had Now she can attend to her household affairs and other duties as though she had never experienced the tortures of that dread disease, neuralgia. When Athlophoros can be had at the nearest drug store nobody should suffer from neuralgia or rheumatism"
