CIvIL-sERvICE REFORM.

Civil-service reform comes hard, because
the evils against which it is aimed have
been long intrenched in the body polite
and can only be removed by heroic treat
ment. Because an abuse is of long stand
ing, however, is no reason why it should
be tolerated, and the assertion of such
principle is without rhyme or reason.
Diseases which afflict the human body are
not looked upon as blessings because long
endured, nor should those which affiict the
state be considered so. Everything which
is inconsistent with the most perfect work.
ing of the body and government must be
gotten rid of. Such, at least, is the belief
of Mr.. w. d. Murphy, of No. 80 Yandes
street, Indianapolis, who has recently been
cured of rheumatism of twenty-five years
standing by that great remedy, Athlo-
phoroS. Age gave the disease no charm
In his eyes, and he swept it away at the
first opportunity. He himself tells all
about the matter in this way:
My rheumatism dates way back about
twenty-five years. first contracted it in
the war, in which 1 served four years and
six months. After returning home from
service the disease seemed to assume a
periodical form. would have at least two
severe attacks every year, but even between
these attacks / would suffer all the time.
These attacks prevented me from getting
about, and many times / could not walk
or get on, of bed. They would catch me
in the legs so that after standing awhile
would feel suddenly weak and in danger of
falling"
Was 1t during one of these attacks that
you used Athlophoros" Mr.. Murphy was
asked.

it did it's work for me. / saw it advertised
and sent to B. Brehm, the druggist on Col
umbia avenue, for bottle. 1t was in the
afternoon took the first dose and then at
night took another. / slept soundly that
night. The next morning when / awoke

only using about two-thirds of bottle
altogether and my rheumatism was all
gone. That is over year ago and have

different persons. My confidence was SO

that if it did not do its work they need not
pay for it; but there is not a single case in
which did not have my money within a
week. There is Mrs. Wright, an aged lady
of seventy, living few miles from here,
who, after suffering from rheumatic pains
for fifteen years, was entirely rid ofall pain
by three or four bottles of Athlophoros.
recommended another lady,who was sup
posed to be suffering from dyspepsia, but
who in reality had neuralgia of the stomach,
to try Athlophoros, and it soon cured her.
My neighbor, who had severe attack of
neuralgia, his face being swollen out of all
shape, was cured by a few doses. My con-
6dence in Athlophoros is very strong, and
I believe that if any one suffering with
rheumatism or neuralgia will take it right
it will cure ninety-nine cases out of hum
dred. 1t is worth 500 bottle to every
sufferer from rheumatism"
