AFFAIRS AT THE NEW HAVEN POST
OFFICE.

OFFICE.
The building in New Haven which does
duty for the accommodation of the post
office and the United States courts was
erected thirty years ago. While not as
magnificent as some of the later and more
costly government edifices, it is solid and
convenient. 1t was well adapted to the
purposes for which it was built. But in
recent years the business transacted within
its walls has increased to such an extent
that much more room was found necessary.
To this end it was decided not to pull
down the present building and build
larger one, but to erect an addition. The
work is now going on under the super
vision of Postmaster Sperry. When com
pleted the building will be one of the most
ample and commodious of all the govern
ment buildings in the country.
The Hon. Nehemiah d. Sperry has for
over twenty years been postmaster of New
Haven, and has performed the duties of
the office with conspicuous faithfulness and
marked success. No man is better known
or more highly esteemed in social, financial
or political circles.
One Of our correspondents, called on him
few days ago to learn what he had to say
about rheumatism. Said Mr. Sperry: cs,
indeed, had rheumatism, and had it for
some time. 1t was principally in my
shoulder, and for a long time the pain was
very severe. About two years ago heard
that the new medicine, Athlophoros, had
done much good to many who had suffered
from rheumatism, and / concluded to try
it. The result was exceedingly gratifying.
1t drove my rheumatism entirely away.
Other medicines had only given me partial
relief. But the relief afforded me by this
was complete. Since that / have had no
return of rheumatism worth mentioning.
"My daughter was laid up with rheuma.
tism, and suffered much. Athlophoros did
for her what other medicines seemed pow
erless to accomplish. | have very high
opinion of this remedy, and hear it very
highly spoken of among my friends
! From the post Office our correspondent
went to the store of Messrs. Thomson d
Co., whose fre-proof safes are famous
throughout the New England States. Mr.
q. q. Thomson, the head of this firm,
narrated his experience substantially as
follows:
"For dozen years, at least, ! was n
great sufferer. Rheumatic neuralgia
would frequently attack me- generally il
the legs and feet, and for the most part
very suddenly. Sometimes the attack
were by day and sometimes by night
destroying all hope of sleep or rest. was
often compelled to remain away from my
business for days at a time, for walking
was 80 painful as to be almost an impossi-
bility. To get rid of my excruciating
pain, tried many Of the medicines adver-
tised for the relief of such things. When
| look over the list of all that | took, !
wonder that | am still alive.
CAT last | took Athlophoros. None of
the other things had done me any good
Here was novel experience. l must
say that ] had no faith in it, and that
tried it merely as an experiment Two
doses of Athlophoros had marked effect
in removing my pain | continued taking
the medicine for about ten DAYS, according
to directions, and by that time the pain
was entirely gone. | could now sleep il
peace and rest in comfort"
"Since that time, Mr.. Thomson, have
you had any more trouble with neu-
Ealgia?'
"None to speak of, except in occasional
returns, which are altogether different
from the old torments ! used to suffer.
Sometimes l find myself sort of a
barometer in changeable weather. A few
twinges of neuralgia pain remind me of
former times. | have found that Athlo-
phoros gives me relief from these tempo
rary attacks. | am told that Athlophoros
has done great deal for others; but l am
particularly concerned in what it has
done for me. 1t is now nearly two years
since it first gave me relief, and ! very
cheerfully say that ! believe Athlophoro,
is the best medicine know of for rheuma
tsm and neuralgia" q
