THE FAPPINEsS OF ELYsIU!

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, thetruthittl and the gen
erous could tread the asphodel meadows of
of the Elysian fields and it was a land of
everlasting delight. When, therefore, Mrs.
Kate Sherman, of Streator, ILL.,, said re-
Gently that she had been in Elysium,
though of course she spoke fguratively, 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 nfammatory
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 a bot
tie of Athlophoros After taking the
third dose | was in Elysium, aud was free
from pain. BY the time had taken
bottle and half felt so wonderfully I'M

ably saved my life as was running down
rapidly, and could not have endured the
pain much longer. 1t afforded NE the
only relief ever experienced except from
hot water, and that had failed me-
The Rev. Samuel Porter of Crete, H.,
says of the effect OF Atllophoros upon his
wife:
Mrs. Porter 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 She sleeps we'll
Mr.. John Iiews, our neighbor, was very
badly off with the rheumatism last winter
and was not able to work or even to get out
of his room. One bottle of Athlophoros
cured him, but he has to keep it by him to
take when he feels his old difficulties
Another clergyman, the Rev. c. Hart
ley, of Iiuntley, ILL.,, gives this as his ex-
perience with the remedy:
For six months | suffered severely
from an attack Of ,heumatisn. 4 friend
sent me notice of several reliable cures
effected by Athlophoros. | procured the
medicine, and less than one bottle com
pletcly cured NE, and | have not had the
least Indication Of IL return OF the painful
disease. | have recommended it 10 others
and results similar to those in my own
case have Followed. lfegard Athlophoros
as invaluable"
A. M. Blakney, who lives at the corner Of
Union and Green streets, Decatur, III,
only confirms the general testimony to the
value of Athlophoros when he says:
During the past winter was stricken
with very severe attack of rheumatism

helpless, and confined to my bed | tried
various medicines and was prescribed for
by physicians with no avail. Finally

phoros. was relieved and cured so
quickly that words could not tell my sur
