Old Residents Of " lsconsln.

The old residents who first settled
Wisconsin and have watched it grow
from thinly populated territory into
one of the most prosperous and pro-
gressive 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 ell
dured and overcome in earlier days
have seemed to the rising generation
like chapters in ancient history. To
those who still remain all honor is due.
They will not be with us long, but
while they vet larry their experience
and advice should be needed. Samuel
Barstow, of Lancaster, Wis, is ono of
these old residents and is we'll known,
not only in the State, but beyond it's
borders as well. In recounting some
of his experiences recently he said:
II have suffered more or less from
rheumatism and general debility for a
number of years. For the last year
the trouble has constantly increased
and for month could not dress N.Y.
self 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
continued to get worse. My attention
was called to Atlophoros. I pro-
cured a bottle and on the 22d of
January. 1884. began to use it. l
took five doses and then slept easily
until eight o'clock in the morning. |
then got up and dressed myself and
walked out without a cane. was
astonished at the result and could
hardly realize that the medicine bad
produced such an effect. am getting

is we'll known in that city as one of the
old residents, she having lived there
thirty-seven years. Her present adj
dress is 902 State street. She has this
to say:
Il have been troubled with rheuma
tism for the last three years. I did not
suffer as much pain as some do with the
same complaint, my difficulty being
principally stiffness of the joints. The
trouble was mostly in my knee joints.
and it was with much difficulty that |
could bend them, especially IN going
up and down stairs. During the time |
was troubled in this way l tried many
medicines without any good effects.
Athlophoros came to nv notice. aud be-
ing anxious to get some relief thought
would try it. After using it for a
short time was able to bend my knees
easily and could 90 up or down stairs >
Mrs. T. B. Nef, OF Calamine, Wis.
who has herself been benefited by TAX
ing Athlophoros for her rheumatism,
tells an interesting story of the i'm
provemont wrought IN her brother-in-
law, Mr.. John w. Netf, of Calamine
an old gentleman of scventy-five years.
She says:
"When he got the first bottle of
Athlophoros, which l sent for for him.
he was so badly off with rheumatism,
and had been for nearly a year that ht
could not step without two crutche~.
1t took two or 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 dollar,
for remedies. He took eighteen bottles
of Athlophoros. and now he eau walk
three quarters of mile with just ou.

chop wood
