Stunning citizen.
1t Is to this last class that Mr.. NJ. P.
Schrock, of 672 West Lake street, chi
csgo, belongs. Mr.. Schrock is a we'll
known dry goods merchaAt, and cousts
himself fortunate in having psir of
good strong legs. For one of his legs
he has peculiar regard, as he came
near losing it 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 il its very
worst form, and was conSned 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 l had pulley attached from
the ceiling and to that 3 sling WAS
fastened. | could rest my leg on this,
changing the height, and in that man
ner managed to obtain some little re-
lief. During the four weeks l lay is
bed l tried many remedies without
avail. Finally l made change and en-
ployed physicians. They tried their
very best TO give me relief, but could
not. Instead of getting better l was
growing worse.
MY doctor finally decided that it
would be necessary to make an incisieR
Ia my thigh, and if there was not a
marked improvement in my condition
from that operation, that amputstion
4 f my leg would be required. THIS, as
You may well imagine, discouraged and
dlsheartened me beyond measure.
About this time my wife noticed in a
Richmond, Ind, paper, for which we
subrcrlbe, the name Of a personal friend
who had been cured by the use of Ath.
phoros. She called my attention to it,
aud said at once, "Get bottle and
Try 1t. she bought bottle, the doctor

immediately. / experienced great re-
lief III the Rrst few doses. In two days

"How much Athlopnoros did you use
for this remarkable cure, Mr.. Schrock?"
about one and third bottles. The
remaining two-thirds of bottle is still
unused at my house."
Don't you think it was very quick
cure for so bad case?" was asked.
II certainly think it not only quick"
answered Mr.. Schrock, "but wonderful,
and feel that l cannot say too much
for Athlophoros. l never let an oppor-
tuuity pass when can recommend it,
as il 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 these whom rheumatism has
brought even to deaths door.
