BETTER THAN A GOLDEN LEG.


"Miss Kilmansegg and her golden
leg" will never be forgotten SO 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
prosaic age good strong leg Of flesh.
bone, and muscle is much to be pre-
ferred, whether it's possessor be pro-
fessional pedestrian or a. solid unas-
Stunning citizen.
It is to this last class that Mr.. M. P.
Schrock, Of 672 West Lake Street, Chi
cago, belongs. Mr.. Schrock is g well
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, how
ever, and for that invaluable remedy
he now cherishes an almost equal re-
gard. The story is well told by Mr..
Schrock in his own words:
'During the Spring OF 1884 was stricken
with rheumatism in it's very worst FORM
and was confined to my bed entirely help
less for about four weeks. My leg panied
me go intensely that l could not let it rest
on the bed without some support. SO
had pulley attached from the ceiling and
to that q sling was fastened. could rest
my leg in this, changing the height, and In
that manner | managed to obtain some
little relief. During the four weeks | lay in
bed | tried many remedies without avail
Finally | made q change and employed
physicians. They tried their very best to
give me relief, but could not. Instead of
gettirg better, was growing worse.
My doctor finally decided that it would
be necessary to make an incision in my
thigh, and il there was not a marked inn
provement in my condition from that OPP
Grafton, that amputation of my leg would
be required. This, as you may well imag
inc, discouraged and disheartened me be-
yond measure. About this time my wife
noticed in a Richmond, Ind, paper, for
which we subscribe, the name of personal
friend who had been cured by the use OF
Athlophoros. She called my attention to
it, and | said at once, Get q bottle and try
it, She bought BOTTLE the doctor was
discharged and we began using it immedi
ately. | experienced great relief IN the first
lew doses. In two days after l began with
the medicine | was in my store attending to
my business, and l have not been troubled
with rheumatism since"
How much Athlophoros did you use for
this remarkable cure, Mr.. Schrock?"
About one and third bottles. The re-
naming two-thirds Of bottle is still I'M
used at my house"
Don't you think twas q very quick cure
for so bad a case?" was asked.
II certainly think it not only quick" an
swered Mr., Schrock, "but wonderful, and
feel that | cannot say too much for Athio
phoros. | never let an opportunity pass
when | can recommend it, as it surely did
every thing for me-"
Mr.. Schrock is now in the best OF health,
and considers himself living example of
what Athlophoros can do for those whom
rheumatism has brought even to Deaths
door.
