BETTER THAN A GOLDEN LEG.

"Miss Kilmansegg and her golden
leg" will never be forgotten as long as
the genius of Thomas Hood, with all
his gentle humor and tender pathos is
remembered, but it 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
prosalc age good strong leg of flesh,
bone and muscle is much to be pre-.
ferred, whether It's possessor be pro-
fessional pedestrian or solid, unas-
Stunning citizen.
1t is to this last class that Mr.. NJ. P.
Schrock, of 672 West Lake street, chi
cago, belongs. Mr.. Schrock is 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 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 1894 I 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 I could not
let it rest on the bed without some SUP
port. So had a pulley attached from
the ceiling and to that sling was
fastened. [ could rest nv leg on this,
changing the height, and in that man
ner managed to obtain some little re-
lief. During the four weeks I lay i'll
bed l tried many remedies without
avail. Finally made a change and en-
ployed physicians They tried their
very best to give me relief, but could
pot. Instead of getting better I was
growing worse.
"My doctor finally decided that it
would be necessary to make an incision
Ia my thigh, and if there was not
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-
lophoros. She called my attention to it,
and said at once, sect bottle and
try it, she bought bottle. the doctor
was discharged and we began using it
immediately. l experienced great re-
lief in the FIRST few doses. In two days
after began with the medicine was
ia Eny store attending to nay business,
and have not been troubled Wits rheu-
matism SINCE"
Glow 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.
81 certainly think it not only quick"
answered Mr.. Schrock, ''but wonderful,
and feel that cannot say too much
for Athlophoros. I never let an oppor-
tunity pass when can recommend it,
as it surely did everything for me-"
Mr.. Sehrock 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 doath's door.
