ST. GEORGE AND THE DRAGON.

The thrilling myth of old st. George
fighting unto death the fiery, OPEN
mouthed Dragon, points many an ex-
quisite moral and adorns many pleas
ing tale. 1t is the eternal battle between
good and evil. 1t is the war between fire
and water, and the peaceful and destruc-
tive in nature. 1t is the everlasting fight
between joy and sorrow, pleasure and
pain, health and disease.
The battle between the old Saint and
the Dragon was longand doubtful. Some
times the Saint was on top, sometimes the
Dragon. That's just the kind of a battle
health is always having with disease.
Health is victor one day; the next, dis
ease is driving a coach and four through
the system.
Health, that is the old Saint, stands no
show at all in its battles with the fierce
Dragon, disease, without frst-class armor
and weapons. Let the Dragon be rheu-
matism. How unequal the battle when
he comes coiling and swapping around
with inAammatory eye and pain darling
fangsl Then, if ever, health needs q
melted horse, tempered armor, and keen
spear, to lay the monster low.
The old Saints warlike outfit was
type and symbol. In practical science,
and as an outfit for health, it becomes a
reality, remedy, a specific. Is there
such reality in these days? The old
Saint, health, rises in his close-ftting,
inpenetrable armor, brandishes his poll
ished spear, and says, "yesp The fiery
Dragon, rheumatism, quails and groans,
and cries despairingly, "yesp He has
had his way for thousand years. His
time has come. He knows a master for
the first time in medical history. The
spear of the old Saint can be made to
pierce his very vitals.
"Teli us all about itF' exclaims one
writhing in the coils of the Dragon.
"For six months had grown worse
with rheumatism" thus says Mr.. D. L.
Southland, Greencastle, Ind.,-" under
good medical treatment. Gradually grew
worse till could not move without great
pain, and had to be helped. Began to
take Athlophoros at A. NJ. AT 9 P. NJ.
fell asleep and rested till 6 A. NJ. Got
up and said to my wife, "Dear me; just
look here; why am wellp
"But that is the language of another"
you say. Certainly. The best evidence
before jury is that which isdisinterested
and voluntary. Mr.. Southard's evidence
is in accordance with hundreds of other
testimonials, which prove that Athlo-
phoros never misses blow at the heart
Of the Dragon.
That is not what you are aiming at.
You say you want to know, just for Curl
osity sake, what Athlophoros is? That
is pardonable. Well, Mr.. W. G. Field,
1882 Cedar avenue, Cleveland, is an old
chemist of 80 years experience. Ask
him. He says, "My business has given
me opportunity to test the merits of all
known rheumatic remedies, regular and
irregular. have suffered for Is years
with rheumatism myself, and have tried
everything without relief. Have had
pain so that I could not lie down at times.
Obtained a bottle of Athlophoros, and
after taking four doses, my rheumatism
left me. I said, l had found remedy at
last. It cannot be recommended too
highly" 20
Still you want to know the meaning of
Athlophoros. That is easy to answer.
1t is the winner Of the prize" in every
battle with the Dragon, rheumatism.
"For five years." says Mr.. j. T. Smith,
164 Washington St., Chicago, Ill, 81
have suffered with rheumatism. After
using two and half bottles of Athlo-
phoros I am entirely free from the dis
ease. 1t is a most wonderful remedy"
Athlophoros is not an accident. 1t is
the result of long analysis and expert
ment, by scientific man Of wealth and
leisure, and rheumatic sufferer. 1t is
based on the theory that rheumatism is
but the discrimination of acidulOus DOi-
sons in the blood toward muscles and
joints, causing swellings, pains and nod
ules. The discoverer worked not only
for himself but humanity. He killed his
Dragon at a single blow. You can kill
yours, you want to. Send to the Athlo-
