A HELPLESS Man Helped.


At Greencastle, Indiana, an hours ride
from Indianapolis lives Mr.. D. L. Southland,
gentleman well known throughout In
diana. Among other honorable positions
which he holds is that Of Trustee of the De
Paw University. Mr.. Southland is a
brother-in-law of Bishop Bowman, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.
For many years Mr.. Southland was a
martyr to rheumatism in it's most affective
form. Up to July, 1883, he was nearly
helpless, and could move only with great
pain. At that time Bishop Bowman, hav-
ing seen how greatly the Rev. Mr.. Kelly, OF
indianapolis, had been relieved by the new
remedy, Athlophoros, brought Mr.. Southland
a bottle OF that medicine, and advised him
to try it.
Mr.. Southard's experience, resulting from
his trial OF Athlophoros, was thus stated
at a recent interview. Bishop Bowman
happened to be visiting Mr.. Southland at
the time, and the exchange of ideas and
opinions as to rheumatism and The radical
remedy for it, was free and pleasant.
Said Mr.. Southland: ~ had for years
been suffering with rheumatic pains. Ny
arms and legs were swollen and the pain
was sharp and constant. / was unable to
dress myself, or even to put on my stock
ings. My wife had to lift me and turn me
in bed. Bishop Bowman brought nae a.
bottle OF Athlophoros. I hardly dared to
hope for any benefit from it, for Ihad taken
SO many medicines.
81 began to take the Athlophoros first
as directed. At that time [ was suffering
frightful pain. In few hours there was a
remarkable change. l broke out into a
profuse perspiration and had strange
feeling of relief In few hours more all my
pain was gone. / could stretch my legs and
move my joints as I had not been able to
for a long time. 1t seemed wonderful, after
all my experience, that any medicine could
have such effects. l feared that this was of
such power that it would go to my vital
parts and end my life. Knowing not what
might be the result, quietly prepared my
self for the final change and calmly awaited
it. But instead of putting an end to me
the Athlophoros only put an end to the
pain. What new and delightful expe-
rience it was to be without pain
81 gave letter to the Athlophoros con-
Germ, which was published. 1t brought me
great many inquiries by mail from vari-
Gus parts OF the country. / wish | could
how you some of those letters, but / was
clearing out my desk the other day, and
destroyed the whole pile of them. One was
from man in Winchester, Indiana, whose
wife was suffering agony. l directed him
where to get the medicine and it soon made
her well. The wife Of Prof. Goblin, OF the
University, was suffering with rheumatism,
and AthlophOros cured her, as well as a
good many others.
SAT times | would have return of my
rheumatism, but nothing like that former
ly had. Each attack was lighter. Each
time | fought it with Athlophoros, and got
the better of it. Now / have for year en-
iOyed good health and freedom from pains.
[ took in all ten or twelve bottles of
the medicine, and if l were again to be
attacked by rheumatism would take more
Bishop Bowman, on being asked twas
the relief which Mr.. Sothlrnd experienced
more than you had expected ?" re-
piled: Certainly it was, for had not ex-
pected anything. | brought him the Athlo-
phoros because had seen that it had done
SO much good to Mr.. Keely and others in
Indianapolis. It seemed a last resort for
Mr.. Sothlrnd's case was such severe one
that l had little or no hope of even giving
him relief. But seeing the completeness
OF his cure [ have recommended the medi-
cine to others. / havenot had occasion to
use it myself, for / have not had rheuma-
tism and am in excellent health OF all
those to whom | have recommended it |
have heard of only one instance in which
decided benefit was not gained. 1 consider
AthlOphoros wonderful medicine.
