MCCLELLAN AND BURNSIDE.

The recent death of General Mcclellan
leaves but few living of those unfortunate
commanders who found themselves UNI
equal to the great responsibilities placed
upon them during the civil war. Burn
side, Halleck, Fighting Joe" Hooker,
and others, had passed away before him,
honored by the nation they had served,
after having lived down the hostile criti-
cism their official acts had excited. Equal
Justice will be done to General Mcclellan,
and true estimate of his abilities as an
organizer and soldier will be recorded.
In his political ambition the genial Burn
side was far more successful than his old
commander. and death found him senator
from Rhode Island. Mcclellan might
have been cabinet officer but for factional
ouarrels in New Jersey which made his
appointment inexpedient.
Rhode Islands devotion to her hand
some senator illustrates a happy charac-
teristic of the smallest State which still
distinguishes her. General Burnside was
not native of Little Rhody having
come east from Indiana-but he had the
right timber in him, and was made governor
and afterward senator of his adopted State.
The same spirit may be seen in her citi-
zens to-day in their hearty reception of
that which will be of benefit to them. A
casein point is that of Mr. John A. Bishop,
of Central Falls, R. l., who tells this
story:
"For eighteen years | suffered with
neuralgia and never got any relief until
took Athlophoros. After that had cured
me of the disease became afflicted with
sciatic rheumatism, for which was treated
by two doctors. Neither of them did me
any good, in fact l grew worse under their
treatment Again began taking Athlo-
phoros, and, strange as it may seem, relief
came almost instantly. The pain abated
so that was able to get around in less
than three days, and as | daily grew
stronger the rheumatism left me alto
gether."
Mrs. S. I. Goss, of No. AZ Dudley Street,
Providence, can confirm this seemingly
wonderful cure out of her own experience.
She says:
"For thirty years I suffered with mus
cular rheumatism, during which time l
used every known remedy and all sorts of
prescriptions from physicians. At times /
would gain little relief, but only for a
short period, after which the disease would
attack me with renewed violence. 1t was
while was suffering one of these veY
severe attacks that friend spoke to me of
the wonders Athlophoros was doing and
advised me to try it. did get bottle
and in two days after beginning to use it
was on my feet. Athlophoros is now kept
in my house and is looked upon as indis-
pensabIe. 1t is the greatest preparation |
ever knew of and will cure rheumatism
just as it is claimed it will do"
Mr.. J. D. Payne, one of the most prom
inent citizens of Westville, Ct, where he
has pleasant home on Fountain street, is
outspoken in his praise of Atlophoros.
81 did not think there was any cure for
rheumatism" he says, "but am pleased
to say that there is and that it is Athlopho-
ros. Three doses of it cured my wife of
rheumatism"
