HENRY WARD BEECHER’S BROTHER

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has three brothers living. Ono of these is the Rev. Charles Beecher, known as the writer of some of the most quaint and touching hymns in the English language. Another is the Rjv. Edward Beecher, a profound theologian, far advanced in years, and living in Brooklyn. m here he preaches from time to time. A third brother is the Rev. William Henry Beecher, who is spending the serene years of a mellow old age at bis home. 6 Honore street, Chicago. Mr. Beecher is 84 years old, and with the exception of the natural infirmities of age, is a hearty and vigorous old gentleman. A gentleman who recently visited Mr. Beecher at his home, found him in an exceedingly genial frame of mind and by no means indisposed to talk about the relief he had obtained from the rheumatism, which for many years bad been a source of trouble to him. In reply to a question, the venerable gentleman remarked: "Why, you want to know about Athlophoros. It is the greatest medicine in the world for rheumatism. I had suffered with that disease for fifteen years. My hands and my joints were swelled. I had much pain, and many sleepless nights. It took my pain away, and gave me power to sleep. Do not understand me to say that my rheumatism is all gone. It would be a miracle if rheumatism could be entirely driven away from an old man like me, who has had it for years. I have some of it left, and occasionally I feel its pains. Then I take more Athlophoros, and the pains are driven away. Even if it can’t entirely drive out the cause of pain from a man who has had it so long, it takes the pain away, and that is a great deal. Sometimes I had frightful pains at night, before going to bed. Then I would take a dose of Athlophoros, and I soon find the pain all gone, so that I could enjoy a calm and refreshing night’s rest. “4 believe Athlophoros will cure chronic rheumatism. 1 know that is saying a great deal for it; but I say it. A tough old casoof rheumatism like mins is very hard to cure, I know. But see my hands; they are no longer swelled as they were. I am free from the pains I used to have. I sleep well, and what more can an old man of 84 ask for?” Mr. Beecher’s daughter cheerfully confirmed what her father had said, and gave her testimony to the great advantages he bad received from the use of Athlophoros. For a number of years, Mr. C. L. Wetmore, Of the well-known wholesale clothing bouse of Messrs. Thompson & Wetmore, 151 and 158 Fifth Ave., Chicago, was greatly afflicted with rheumatism, which interfered not only with his personal comfort, but also with his ability ttf attend,to business. He is npw well. Calling on Mr. Wetmore, at his store on Fifth avenue, the gentleman, found him willing to converse as to his experience in regard to rheumatism. “I am told, Mr. Wetmore, that you got rid of your rheumatism by the help of Athlophoros. Is that truer” "Well, I had been for a long while troubled with rheumatism, and I had tried almost everything in the line of medicine. I may fairly say that Athlophoros finished the rheumatism, and finally overcame it. Some of the other remedies had given me relief, which proved only temporary and incomplete. But it was not so with the Athlophoros. Since I have taken it I find that I have no more rheumatic pains, either to annoy me by day or to interfere with my sleep by night. My rheumatism was at times very severe. All my joints were swollen, and were very painful. I was detained at home sometimes as much as a month at a time, suffering acutely and unable to attend to business. Now that -Athlophoros has finished the rheumatism, I am happy to say that mv sleep is good, my appetite is regular and healthy, and I am every aay attending to business.” If you cannot get Athlophoros of your druggist, we will send it express paid, on receipt of regular price—one dollar per- bottle. We prefer that you buy it from your druggist, but if he hasn’t it, do not be persuaded to try something else, but order at once from us, as directed. Athlophoros Co., 112 Wall street. New York.
