HErTEa TELL! A GOLDEN LEG.

miss Kilaansegg and her golden
leg" will never he forgotten SO long as
the genius Of Thomas Hood, with all his
gentle humor and tender pathos, is re-
membered, but it Is doubtful if any one
will ever envy the heroine of that poem
her unique limb, which brought with it
20 many n,isfortEnes. In this prosaic
age good strong leg of flesh, bone and
muscle, is much to be preferred whether
its possessor be professional pedestrian,
or solid unassuming citizen.
It is to this last class that Mr.. M. P.
Schrock, of 672 West Lake street, Chicago,
belongs. Mr.. Schrock is a well-known
dry goods merchant, and counts himself
fortunate in having a pair of good strong
legs. For one of his legs he has
peculiar regard, as he came near
losing it through rheumatism. Athlo-
phoros saved it for him however, and for
that invaluable remedy he now cherishes
an almost equal regard. The story is
well told by Mr.. Sehrock in his own
words:
During the Spring of 1884 was
stricken with rheumatism in its very
worst form, and was confined to my bed
entirely helpless for about four weeks.
My leg panied me so intensely that
could not let it rest on the bed without
come support. So l had pulley at
tached from the ceiling and to that u
sling was fastened could rest my leg
in this, changing the height, and in that
manner | managed to obtain some little

bed tried many remedies without avail.
Finally | made change and employed
physicians They tried their very best
to give me relief, but could not Instead
of getting better, l was growing worse.
Ny doctor finally decided that it would
be Necessary TO make an ineision in my
thigh, and ii there was not a marked i'm
provement in my condition from that
operation that :amputation Of my leg
would be required. This, as you may
well imagine, discouraged and disheart-
ened me beyond measure. About this
time my wife noticed in a Richmond
,indj paper, for which we subscribe,
The name Of a personal friend who had
,cen cured ly the use of Athlophoros.
he called my attention to it, and l said
once, Get c bottle and try it, She

d and we began using it Immediately.
| experienced great relief in the first
lev doses. in two days after l began
with the medicine, | was in my store
attending TO my business, and have not
been troubled with rheumatism since"
allow much Athlophoros did you use
for this remarkable cure, Mr.. Schrock?"
"About one and q third bottles. The
remaining two-thir1s OF bottle is still
unused at my house"
"Don't you think it was very quick
cure for so bad case?" was asked.
az certainly Thick it not only quick"
answered Mr.. Schrock, "but wonderful,
and | feel that | cannot say too much
| for Athlophoro3. never let an oppor-
unity pass when l can recommend it,
as it surely did everything for me-"
Mr. Schrock is now in the best Of
health, and considers himself living
example Of what Athiophoros can dc
for these whom rheumatism has brough,
even to deaths door.
