THE HAPPINESS OF ELxBlu1

Elysium was the name given by the an
Gent Greeks to the resting place of the
righteous dead, where they should enjoy
eternal peace and happiness. None but
the pure in heart, thetruthful and the gen.
crous could tread the asphodel meadows of
of the Elysian fields and ii was land of
everlasting delight. When, therefore, Mrs.
Kate Sherman, of Streator, ILL.,, said re-
Gently that she had been in Elysiim,
though of course she spoke iguratively, it
argued that some great good fortune and
Joy had come to her. And such, indeed,
was the truth Mrs. Sherman tells how it
was in this way:
81 have suffered from inflammatory
rheumatism for more than thirty years.
Heretofore the pain would succumb to the
application Of hot wet flannel, but at my
last attack circumstances had conspired to
aggravate the disease, and / became help
less. My hands and feet were swollen
enormously, and | suffered almost mortal
agony. My physician brought me bot
tie of Athlophoros. After taking the
third dose was in Elysium, and was free
from pain. BY the time | had taken
bottle and half felt so wonderfully i'm
proved that discontinued the medicine.
| have an unroyesnabio dislike tn all med
icine, but willsay that Ath.2phoros prob
ably saved my life, IS WAS running down
rapidly, and could MI lave endured the
pain much longer II afforded he the
only relief ever experienced except from
hot water, and that had faded me-
The Rev. Samuel Porter, Of Crete, H.,
says Of the elect 1t Athlo,hoi1s upon his
wife:
Mrs Potter was very much benefited
by the first bottle. Before she commenced
taking it she could not walk, she was SO
badly afflicted with rheumatism, but she
was soon able to walk. ShoaIeeps we'll
Mr.. John ficws orr neighhor, was very
badly off with the rheinatism last winter
and was not able to work or even to get out
of his room, tae hottie OF Ath.ophoros
cured him, but he has t. keep it by him to
take when he feels his oil difficulties"
Another clergyman, the Rev. {. Hart
/ ley, of Hnntlev, Ill, gives this as his ex-
perience with the remedy:
"For six months | suffered severely
| from an attack Of rheumatism. A friend
| sent me a notice of several reliable cures
effected by Athlophoros. ! procured the
medicine, and less than one bottle com
pletely cured me- and have not had the
least indication of . return of the painful
disease. nave recommended 1t to others
and results similar to those in my own
case have followed. Iregard Athlophoros
as invaluable"
A. NJ. Blaknev, who lives at the corner Of
Union and Green streets, Decatur, !ll.,
only confirms the general testimony to the
value of Athlophoros when he says:
During Che past winter was stricken
with very severe aita,k OF rheumatism
disease with which | had been afflicted
for several years--an1 was rendered almost
helpless, and confined to my bed. tried
various medicines, and was prescribed FOR
by physicians with no avail. Finally |
was induced by my druggist TO try Athlo-
phoros. l was relieved and cured So
quickly that words could not tell my sur
prise. l do not hesitate in recommending
il to any one suffering with that most pain
tul complaint, rheumatism" -
