HENRY WARD BEECHER’S BROTHER

The Her. Henry Ward Beecher has three brothers 11 Tin*. One of these Is the Her. Charles Beecher, known as the writer of some of the most quaint and touching hymns in the English language. Another is the Bev. Edward Beecher, a profound theologian, far advanced in years, and living in Brooklyn, where he preaches from time to time. A third brother is the Bev. William Henry Beecher, who is spending the serene years of a mellow old age at his home. 8 Honors 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 had been a source of trouble to him. In rdply 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 bo 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 “I believe Athlophoros will cure chronic rheumatism. I know that is saying a great deal for it: but I say It. A tough old case of rheumatism like mine is very hard to cure, I know. But see my hands; they are noTonger 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 81 ask for?” Mr. Beecher’s daughter cheerfully confirmed what liter father had said, and gave her testimony to the great advantages he had received from the Use of Athlophoros. For a number of years, Mr. C. L. Wetmore, of the well-known wholesale clothing house of Messrs. Thompson & Wetmore, 151 and 153 Fifth Ave., Chicago, was greatly afflicted with rheumatism, which interfered not only with his personal comfort, but also with his ability to attend to business. He is now 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 true - ;’’ “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 iny 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, 1 am happy to say that my sleep is good, my appetite is regular and healthy, and I am every aay attending to business.” If von cannot get Athlophoros of your druggist, we will send it express paid, on receipt oi regular price—one dollar per bottle. We prefer that you buy it from your druggist, but if be hasn’t it, do not be persuaded to try something else, bat order at once from us, as directed. Arhlophobos Co., 112 Wall street. New York.
