truo of politleal nfl'aira ns it once was, but
in mostinattcr.itlicro lsaMiuatautialaurec
lucnt of opinion. Just nt prt'Kent tltis is
sliown in tlio univcrsal comiuendation of
Athloplioros, praises of wliich come from
all ipiartcra of every State. A. few of tlioin
lollow :
" l bare boen a crcat siifTercr from
rbemnatism for tbe last tlireo ycars," says
J'.. I'arkkurst, ol oonsocket, It. 1., " li.iv-
inj; bccn unablo to do any active labor
liiriii" that time. and tnr a laruc niirtinn
of the time bcing conDned to my bed. I
liail tnkcn hunurcUs ol dollara vrorth of
mcdicine, with no relicf, uutil I was in-
lucod to try a uottle ol Athlonhoros.
The first tbree doses resulte'd in my hav-
inj; tho best niglit'a sleep that 1 had cn-
joyed for tbree years, and by tho timo the
hrst hottle was taken 1 realized that 1 was
on the road to complete recovery. I have
siiicc taken six bottles and atn now able
to u.tcnd to my busincss and considur ray-
pelf a well mau."
iMrs. C. N. Paige, of Boltonville, Vt.,
says:
' 1 hrst saw Athlophoros .idvertised in a
paper, and as it was only recoinniended for
rbeiimatism and ueuralgia I had great
failh to believe it r.ould do nic sotne good.
My husband, tbercfore, sent for a bottle.
1 had been a great BuDerer from ueuralgia
for ycars, and had spells whcn no one wbo
saw me thought 1 could live. Many
timcs I have wisbcd dcath would cnd my
agony. The pain would commcnre in the
pit of my htomarh and go from thereright
through my heart. I had eniployed doc
tors wbo were thought very skillful, but l
gnt no benefit from tlipm. 1 had these
spells every Iwo or thrco wceks for over
two years before taking Athlophoroi.
That was one year ago last April and 1
have had only two of them bince, the last
one during the winter. I took tlien part of
anothcr bottlc and have had uonc since.
AVords can ncver exprcss tlie relief I feel
at bcing rid of sucli agony as I sullcred
whcn I had those spellb."
Mrs. ilarriet Strong, of 'Westville, Ct.,
tells this f.traight-forward story :
"I had tbe rhcuuiatism, wliich settled
in mv knees and hips. Tho ioints were so
stiirand the pain so great that 1 could not
walk, tmt was obligcd to move aroutul ma
chair. Several doctors did all tbev could
forme, but I was no betler. "Wliilc in
this condition, sitting iu my chair by the
wiudow reading a paper, I kiw au advcr
tipmcnt of Atbloplioro-. 1 tliiiiiht I
would try it and sent for a bottle. When
they brougbt it to me 1 told them I con
sidored it a dollar thrnwn away, ns I bail
not a partirle of faitb, but 1 commciiced
taking it and after tbetbirddoso 1 thought
I fclt a change for the bctter. I continucd
to use it as directed uutil I havotaken four
bottles. Hlrange as it may i-ecni, I amper
fcctly curi'd and nni aliout tbe bouse all
day, doing all tbe bnn-cwork, with not a
blt of rheumatisni about me. I can ncver
n'tiirn thanks cnniigb to tlic pnrtics that
inako Athlojiboros for tbe bcnelit I have
dcrived from ils us-e. I rccouiuiend it to
every body."
