'About one bottle"
Has she had any return of the pain?"
"Not to my knowledge" replied Mr.
Hammond, "and am certain she would
be likely to say something about it ii she

lame and suffered so much pain that ii was
impossible for me TO bend my limbs or
walk around my room without taking hold
of the back of a chair for Support. My
relief, after taking the first dose of Athlo-
