4 SLIDE DOWN TIE BAHIsTERr.

Sliding down the banisters, though
ewift and delightful way of getting down
stairs, is not popular method Of descent
except among boys of the hobbledehoy
age. when, therefore, Mr.. Dolph Hotchkiss,
solid citizen of Peoria, Ill, adopted that
style of coming down from his room re-
Gently it augured that something out Of
the usual line had happened to him. Such
was indeed the case Mr.. Hotchkiss ex-
plains as follows why he preferred the
railing to the stairs:
at was last winter, during the month
of December. One evening after getting
home from the store was taken with a
severe pain in my ankle. 1t felt at first
as i'll had sprained it. | was up Haii9
when the trouble first came on and |
wanted to go down. The pain, however,
had increased so that found that ii VAS
impossible to walk down the steps, and so
| slid down the railing. From that nj hi
began to grow worse, the pain became
more severe, and my ankle gradually
swelled up until it seemed as If the flesh
would burst. II was alnos! impossible for
me to lie in bed, and the least noise or at
tempt to move me would cause me the
greatest agony.
after being in bed a month could not
stay there any longer. / felt that | must
have some kind of a change, and so | was
moved into an easy chair, where | lay ior
two months, suffering more than words
can express My trouble was rheumatism.
The doctors could do nothing for me. l
used about every medicine ] had ever
heard of for rheumatism, and many diff
ferent remedies recommended by my
friends and neighbors, but nothing afforded
me any relief. A lady friend living in
Chicago, hearing of my affection, wrote
me, saying Try Athlophoros. 1t cured
me-
II was very glad to try anything.
| had tried many different sorts OF medicines,
| but this was new to me. ! sent at once
and bought bottle and began using it. /
| had a terrible bizzing in my head at FIRST,
| but as it was said in the directions would
have this if the medicine took hold of the
disease | stuck to it. The buzzing was
nothing with my suferings. l think ii
was on Monday evening | first began
with the Athlophoros. By the following
SATURDAY. the pain was nearly all gone, the
swelling was very much reduced, and with
the aid Of pair Of crutehes went out ior
the first time in three months.
az continued taking the Athiophoros
until had used four bottles. My pair
and swelling had then all gone, and hac
no further use for clutches. | have no
felt any rheumatism since. Athlophoro
is very valuable medicine. | recon-
mend il whenever have a chance, anC
never want to be without some Athlopho
,os in the house in case | should eve
gain he SO afflicted"
Mr.. Hotchkiss' residence in Peoria Is a
No. $40 Hancock street. Greatly as h
regrets the loss of three months valuabl
time, not to speak of all the suffering an
mental anguish he endured, he feels tina
there is some slight compensation in til
fact that he was made acquainted with
medicine which can cure rheumatism an
rob that disease of all its terrors. Nj
Hotchkiss, it is almost needless to stat
, has never had occasion to repeat his rid
IN the railing.
