OLD RESIDENTS OF WISCONSIN,.

The old residents who first settled Wis
:onsin and have watched it grow from q
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 hartlships
endured and overcome in earlier days have
seemed to the rising generation like chap
tiers in ancient history. 70 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
we'll known, not only in the State, but be-
yond its borders as well. In recounting
some of his experiences recently he said:
II have suffered more or less from rheu-
matism and general debility for a 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 nay
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. My attention was
called to Athlophoros. procured bottle

Mrs. K. F. Bowers, Of Racine, Wis, is
yell known in that city as one of the old
residents, she having lived there thirty
seven years. Her present address is 9O2 4
State street. She has this to say:
IL have been troubled with rheumatism
for the last three years. | 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 il was with
much difficulty that | could bend them,
especially in going up and down stairs.
During the time was troubled in this way
tried many medicines without any good
effects. Athlophoros came to my notice,
and being anxious to get some relief L
thought would try it. After using it for
a short time was able to bend my knees
easily and could go up CIR d,wn stairs.
Mrs. 4. b. Nelf, of Calarnine, Wis, who
has herself been benefited by taking Athlo-
phoros for her rheuHlatism, tells an inter-
esting story of the Improvement wrought
in her bro;herin-Iaw, Dir. John W. Neff, !
of Calamine, an old gentleman Of seventy
five wears. She says: -,
"Whcn he got the first bottle Of Athlo-
phoros, which sent for for him, he WIS /
% badly off with rheumatism aud had
been for near':y year that lie could not
step without two crutches. 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 dollars for remedies. He took 4
eighteen bottles of Athlophoros, and now
he can walk three-quarters of mile with
lust one cane, and can hoe in the garden
and chop wood" ca
