SETTER TRAN A GOLDEN LEO.

"Miss Kilmansegg and her golden
leg" will never l,c forgotten SO long as
the genius OF Thomas Hood, with all his
gentle humor and tender pathos, is re-
membered, but it Is doubtful if any one
will ever envy the heroine Of that poem
her unique limb, which brought with it
70 many misiortunes. In this prosaic
age good strong leg Of flesh, bone and
muscle, is much to be preferred whether
its possessor be professional pedestrian.
ora solid unassuming citizen.
It is to this last class that Mr.. M. P.
Schrock, of o72 West Lake street, Chicago,
belongs. Mr.. Schrock is a well-known
dry goods merchant, and counts himself
fortunate in having pair ofgood strong
legs. For one of his legs he has
a peculiar regard, as he came near
losing it through rheumatism. Athio-
phoros saved it for him however, and for
that invaluable remedy he now cherishes
an almost equal regard. The story is
well told by Mr.. SclrocE 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 intensely that
could not let it rest on the bed withod
some support. So | had pulley at
tached from the ceiling and to that u
sling was fastened. l could rest my L.,
in this, changing the height, and in thu
manner | managed to obtain some lit
relief. During the four weeks | lay H.
bed tried many remedies without avail
Finally made a change and employc,
physicians. They tried their very best
to give me relief, but could not. Instead
of getting better, | was growing worse.
My doctor finally decided that it world
be necessary to make an ineision in my
thigh, and if there was not marked i'm
proyement in my condition from that
operation that amputation of my leg
woald be required. This, as you may
we'll imagine, discouraged and disheart-
cned me beyond measure. About this
time my wife noticed in Richmond
indy paper, for which we subscribe,
he name OF personal friend who had
been cured by the use of Athlophoros
,,he called my attention TO it, and | said

lew doses. In two DAYS after | began
with the medicine, was in my store
attending TO my business, and | have not
been ttoubled with rheumatism since"
"How much Athlophoros 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

answered Mr.. Schrcck, "but wonderful,

for Athlophoios. Inevcr let an oppor-

as it surely did everything ior me"
Mr.. Schrock IS now in the best OF
health, and considers himself a living
example of what Athlophoros can dc
for those whom rheumatism has brought
even to deaths door.
