when lifted up could not stand on my feet. was
induced to try ArHLoPHoRos, after all the usual
remedies failed In 20 minutes after taking the
first dose could bear my weight upon my feet
In two days was able to get about and attend
to business In two other cases which have
come to my knowledge its use has been attended
with the same results"
A poor man ia Philadelphia had to bor-
row dellar to buy bottle Of ATHIoPHoRos.

mattsm. He gyatetully writes:
