IN LINcoLNs pITHY STYLE.

If brevity is thesoul of wit the terse and
condensed style of expression common in
the West may be said to carry off the palm
for wit. A better use TO which it may be
put, however, is in clothing great truths
in homely but telling fashion which
commands attention and carries convic-
ton. Lincoln was a master of this form
Of expression, and the pithy and apt sto-
ries which are attributed to him are appar-
emily without number. The facts which
are stated in the following extracts from
letters from residents of Wisconsin lose
nothing because they are put concisely:
"Athlophoros helped me greatly" saws
Samuel NJ. Bear, of Cascade, "and prob
ably were it not for other complications
would have effected cure. used FIVE
bottles and am satisfied that the medicine
is q good one"
\. H. Luchenbsck, the druggist in Wat
tericks block, Oconto, says:
"Mr. George Mccartney told me to-day
that he had spent over five hundred dol
lars in medicines for the benefit of his
rheumatism, but that he had never found
anything which did him any good until he
tried 4 bottle of AthlophoroS, which made
permanent cure. 1t gives the best Of
satisfaction and does all that is claimed
for it,
From Beaver Dam the Rev. J. c. Rim
der writes:
II derived much benefit from Athlo-
phoros, but sometimes feel that l am not
entirely free from rheumatism"
"Athlophoros," Wallichs & Dilts, drug
gists, at 42t Main street, Fond du Lac,
say: "Seems 10 relieve recent attacks of
rheumatism promptly and in old chronic
cases affords great relief. \ lady ofthis
city, who has been troubled with neuralgia
most of the time for several years pur-
chased bottle of AthlophoroS at our
store and has since informed Us that she
is entirely relieved before she had used
more than third of bottle oft"
I. II. Spence, sos Main street, Lacrosse,
prominent chemist, and member ofthc
Board of PharmacyoftheSt State of Wisconsin
SAYS: " have recommended Athlophoros
to my rheumatic customers with good re-
suits and some special cases have found
permanent relief. In neuralgia it works
like charm and | consider it the best
specific on our shelves"
1--WE have had large sale Of Athio-
phoros," Palmer & Stevens, of JanesvillC,
state, "and bctterreports from it than from
any other medicine we ever sold for rhe,i-
matism and neuralgia. One party tried
il for neuralgia and not only received 81
most instant relief from that, hut was also
cured of 4 rheumatic pain of long standing
in the knee. Another party, +. l.. Dim
mock, Esq, has been permanently cured
Of rheumatism by the use of 4 few bottles.
We could cite many more cases where the
parties give the most tiattering reports of
the benefit derived from its use"
From the same city L. b. Heimstreet
writes:
"Athlophoros is giving the best of sat-
isfaction and its merits are now recognized
by many in this section. have the names
of n number of people in this county who
have been helped by it."
NEARLY every person who has pur-
chased Athlophoros at our drug store pro-
nounces it as being beneficial to him."
says NJ. II. Pratt, of Montello."
