A HELPLESS MAN HELPED.

At Greencastle, Ind, an hours ride from
Indianapolis, lives Mr.. D. L. Southland gentle
man well known throughout Indiana. Among
other honorable positions which he holds is that
Of Trustee Of the De Pauw University. Mr..
Southland is q brother in-lsw Of Bishop Bowman
Of the Methodist Episcopa. Church.
For many years Mr.. Southsrd was q martyr
to rheumatism in its most affective form. Up TO
July !, 1883, he was nearly helpless, and could
move only with great pain At that time Bishop
Bowman, having seen how greatly the Rev. Mr.
Kelly, of Indianapolis had been relieved by the
new remedy, Athlophoros, brought Mr.. Southland
bottle of that medicine, and 'vised him TO try
it
MIR. Southardis experience, resulting from his
trial Of Athlophoros, was thus stated at a re-
icent interview. Bishop Bowman happened to be

and the radical remedy for it was fires and

fering with rheumatic pains. My arms aud legs
were swollen, and the pain was sharp and con
slant. 1 was unable to dress myself, or even to
put on my stockings. My wife had to lift me
and turn me in bed. Bishop Bowman brought
me a bottle Of Athlophoros. hardly dared to hope
for any benefit from it, fer had taken SO many
medicines
Il began to take the Athlophoros first as
directed At that time was suffering frightful
pain: La 8 few hours there was a remarkable

and had a strange feeling of relief. In q few
hours more all my pain was gone I could
stretch my legs aud move my joints as had not
been able to do for a long time. 1t seemed won
derful, after all my experience, that any medi
cine could have such affects. 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. quickly prepared myself 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 a new and delightful
experience it was to be without paint
Il gave a letter to the Athlophoros concern.

many inquiries by mail from various parts of the
country. I wish could show you some of those
letters, but was clearing out my desk the other
day, and destroyed the whole pile of them. One
was from a man in Winchester, Ind, 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 sut-
fering with rheumatism, and Athlophoros cured
her, as well as good many others.
