BETTER THAN A GOLDEN LEG.


Miss Kilmansegg and her golden
leg," will never be forgotten as long as
the geHius of Thsmas Hood with all
his gentle humor and tender pathos is
remembered, but il is doubtful if any
one will ever envy the heroine of that
poem her unique limb, which brought
with it so many misfortunes. In this
prosaic age a good strong leg of flesh,
bone and muscle is much to be pre-.
ferred, whsther les possessor be a pro-
fessional pedestrian or a solid, unas-
Stunning citizen.
1t is te this last class that Mr.. NJ. p.
Schrock, of 672 West Lake street, Chi
cago, belongs. Mr.. Schrock is a we'll
known dry goods merchant, and counts
himself fortunate in having pair Of
good strong legs. For one of his legs
he has peculiar regard, as he came
near losing 1t through rheumatism.
Athlophoros saved it for him, however,
and for that invaluable remedy he now
cherishes an almost equal regard. The
story is well told by Mr. Schrock in his
own words:
During the spring of 1884 / was
stricken with rheumatism in its very
worst form, and was confined TO my bed
entirely helpless for about four weeks,
My leg panied me so that / could not
let it rest on the bed without some sup
port. So had pulley attached from
the ceiling and to that a sling WAS.
fastened. l could rest my leg on this,
changing the height, and ia that man
ner managed to obtain some little re-
lief, During the four weeks l lay in
bed l tried many remedies without
avail. Finally l made a change and EN-
ployed physicians, They tried their
very best to give me relief, bat could
not. Instead of getting better ! was
growing worse.
"My doctor finally decided that it
would be necessary to make an incisi0n
IN my thigh, and if there was not a
marked improvement in my condition
from that operation, that amputation
Of my leg would be required. This, as
you may well imagine, discouraged and
disheartened me beyond measure,
About this time my wife noticed in
Richmond, Ind, paper, for which we
subscribe, the name of a personal friend
who had been cured by the use Of Ath-
lophoro5. She called my attention to IT,
and said at once, "Get a bottle and
try it.. she bought bottle, the doctor
was discharged and we began using il
Immediately. / experienced great re.
lief in the tsrst few doses. In two days
after began with the medicine was
in my store attending to nay business,
and have not been troubled vita rheu-
matism since"
"How much Athlopnoros did you use
for this remarkable cure, Mr.. Schrock?"
"About one and third bottles. The
remaining two-thirds of a bottle is still
unused at my house"
Don't you think it was a very quick
cure for so bad case?' was asked.
II certainly think it not only quick,
answered Mr.. Schrock, "but wonderful,
and feel tAat cannot say too much
for Athlo phoros. / never let an oppor-
tunity pass when can recommend it,
as it surely did everything for me-
Mr.. Schrock is now in the best OF health and
considers himself a living example Of what Ath-
lophoros can do for those whom rheumatism has
brought even TO deaths door.
