BETTER THAN A GOLDEN LEG.

miss Kilmansegg and her golden leg"
will never be forgottensol long as the genius
OF Thomas Hood, with allhis 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 80 many misfort-
unes. In this prosaic age a good strong
leg OF flesh, bone and muscle, is much to be
preferred whether it's possessor be a pro-
%fessional pedestrian, or q solid unassuminp
citizen.
1t is to this hast class that Mr.. N. P.
Schrock, of 672 West Lake street, Chicago.
belongs. Mr.. Schrock is a w%ell-known dry
goods merchant, and counts himself iortu.
nate in having a pair Of good strong legs.
For one OF his legs he has a peculiar regard,
as he came near losing it through rheu-
matism. Athlophoros saved it for him
however, and for that Invaluable remedy
he now cherishes an almost equal regard.
The story is well told by Mr.. Schrock in This
WI words:
During the Spring Of 1884 I was str,ck-
en- with rheumatism in its very worst form,
and was confined to my bed entirely help
less for about four weeks. Ny leg panied
me so intensely that I could not let it rest
on the bed without some support. So I
had a pulley attached from the ceiling and
to that q sling was fastened. Icould rest
my leg in this, changing the height, and in
that manner I managed to obtain some
little relief. During the four weeks I lay in
bed I tried many remedies without avail.
Finally I made a change and employed
physicians. They tried their very best to
give me relief, but could not. Instead of
getting better, I was growing worse.
"My doctor finally decided that it would
be necessary to make an incision in my
thigh, and if there was not a marked inn
provement in my condition from that
operation that amputation of my leg
would be required. This, as you may well
imagine, discouraged and disheartcned me
beyond measure. About this time my wife
noticed in a Richmond (Ind.) paper, for
which we subscribe, the name of q personal
friend who had been cured by the use of
A~thlophoros. She called my attention to
it, and I said at once, Sect a bottle md try
it. She bought o bottle, the doctor was

ately. Inexperienced great relief in the first
few doses. In two days after I began with
the medicine, I was in my store attending
to my business, and I have not been trou-
bled with rheumatism SINCE"
"How much Athlophoros did you usefor
this remarkable cure, Mr.. Schrock?"
about one and q third bottles. The re-
naming two-thirds of a bottle is still I'M
used at my house."
Don't you think it was a very quick
cure for SO bad q case?" was asked.
"I certainly think it not only quick" an
swcred MI. Schrock, "but wonderful, and 1
feel tnat I can not say too much for Ath-
lophoros. never let an opportunity pass
when 1 can recommend it, as it surely did
everything for me-"
Mr.. Schrock is now in the best OF health,
and considers himself a living example OF
what Athlophoros can do for those whom
rheumatism has brought even to Deaths
door.
