OLD RESIDENTS OF WISCONSIN.

The old residents who first settled Wis
consin and have watched it grow from
thinly populated territory into one of the
most prosperous and progressive States Of
the Union are fast passing away. Every
few days are printed accounts of the death
of some village patriarch, whose tales OF
fights with the indians and of hardships
endured and overcome in earlier days have
seemed 10 the rising generation Like chap
tiers in ancient history. To those who still
remain all honor is due. They will not
be with us long, but while they yet tarry
their experience and advice should be
needed. Samuel Barstow, of Lancaster,
Wis, Is one of these old residents and is
well known, not only in the State, but be-
yond Its borders as well. In recountng
some OF his experiences recently he sai::
II have suffered more or less from rheri,
matism and general debility for number
of years. For the last year the trouble has
constantly increased and for month /
could not dress myself or get up from my
chair without help. From my head TO my
feet every cord and muscle was stiff and
sore. During this time l used various
remedies, but all to no purpose, and con-
tinued to get worse. Ny attention was
called to AthlOphoros. | procured bottle

Mrs. Il. +. Bowers, of Racine, Wis, is
ell known in that city as one of the old
.esidents, she having lived there thirty
even years. Her present address is 902
STATE street. She has this to say:
:" / have been troubled with rheumatism
for the last three years. l did not suffer
complaint, my difficulty being principally
mostly III my knee joints, and it was with
much difficulty that 1 could bend them,
especially in going up and down stairs.
During the time e / was u troubled in this wav

effects. Athlophoros came to my notice,
and being anxious to get some relief |

a short time was able to bend my knees
easily and could 60 up or down stairs.
Mrs. I. B. Nef, of Calamine, Wis, who
has herself been benefited by taking Athlo-
phoros for her rheumatism, tells ga inter
esting story of the improvement wrought
IN her brother-in-law, Mr. John ". Neff,
of Calamine, an old gentleman of seventy
five years. She says:
when he got the first bottle of Athlo-
phoros, which | sent for for him. he was
SO badly off with rheumatism and had
been for nearly year that he could not
step without two clutches. It took two OF
three men TO help him out of wagon or
sleigh, and he could not dress or undress
himself alone. He had paid out great
many dollars for remedies. He took
eighteen bottles of Athlophoros, and now
he can walk three-quarters of a mile with
just one cane, and can hoe in the garden
and chop wood
