ola Resident. of WISCONSIN.

The old residents who first settled
Wisconsin and have watched it grow
from a thinly populated territory into
one of the most prosperous and pro-
gressive States of the Unior are fast
passing away. Every few days are
printed accounts of tbo 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 tie rising generation
like chapters in ancient history. To
those who still ellain all honor is due.
They will not be- with us long, but
while they vet ta,ry their experienc
and advice should be needed. Samu,s
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 recounting some
of his experiences recently he said:

Mrs. X. f. Bowers, of Racine, Wis,
is well known in that city as one of the
old residents, she having lived there
thirtv-seven years. Her present adj

to say:

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

out of a wagon or sleigh, and he could
not dress or undress himself alone.
He had paid out great many dollars
for remedies. He took eighteen bottles
of AthlOphoros. and now he can walk
three-quarters of a mile with just one
cane, aud can hoe in the garden and
chop wood.
