Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1886-03-25

Sliding down the banistefs. though a
swift 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, a
solid citizen OF Peoria; III; 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 explains
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 if had
sprained it. ] was up stairs when the
trouble first came on and wanted to go
down. The pain, however, had increased
SO that found that 1t was impossible to
walk down the steps, and so slid down the
railing. From that night began to grow
worse, the pain became more severe, and
my ankle gradually swelled up until It
seemed as II the flesh would burst. II was
almost impossible for me to lie in bed, and
the least noise or attempt to move me would
cause me the greatest agony.
"After being In bed month I could not
stay there any longer. felt that must
have some kind of change, and SO / was
moved into an easy chair, where 1 lay for
two months, suffering more than words can
express. My trouble was rheumatism. The
doctors could do nothing for me. / used
about every medicine had ever heard of
Tor rheumatism, and many different reme-
dies recommended by my friends and neigh
bors, but nothing afforded me any relief.
A lady friend living In Chicago, hearing of
my affection wrote me, saying: TRY Ath-
lophoros. II cured me-.
II was very glad to try anything. I had
tried many different sorts of medicines, but
this was new to me. sent at once and
bought bottle and began using 1t. L had
terrible buzzing 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 suiferings. 1 think it 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 crutches 1 went out for the first
time in three months.
II continued taking the Athlophoros un-
til had used four bottles. Ny pain and
swelling had then all gone, and had no
further use for crutches. / have not felt
any rheumatism since. Athlophoros is a
very valuable medicine. / recommend it
whenever have a chance, and never want
to be without some Athlophoros in the
house in case should ever again be SO
afflicted"
Mr.. Hotchkiss' residence in Peoria is at
No. 610 Hancock street. Greatly as he re-
grets the loss of three months valuable
time not to speak of all the suffering and
mental anguish he endured, he feels that
there is some slight compensation in the
fact that he was made acquainted with a
medicine which can cure rheumatism and
rob that disease of all its terrors. Mr..
Hotchkiss, it is almost needless to state,
has never had occasion to repeat his ride on
| the railing.
