DISTRESS IN CHICAGO.

To get rid of the distress caused
by such an intruder as rheumatism
is one of the puzzles of the present
age. Happily the new and popular
Observation-Disclosures come to the
relief of this distress, and it finds its way in
to the homes of sufferers, not only through
the drug stores, but at the hands of the
medical faculty.
A correspondent while passing through
Chicago, called on DIR. III. w. Joy, who is
well known as one of the county physicians
charged with the beneficent duty of reliev-
ing the distress of the poor. In addition
to this work DIR. Joy has an extensive
practice of his own. 1t had come to the
knowledge of our correspondent that DIR.
Joy was making use of Athlophoros, and
had met with success with it In treating
rheumatism and neuralgia.
Calling ON DR.. Joy at his Office, corner of
State and Harrison streets, he found the
doctor very busy with a procession of
patients who were seeking relief from
various ailments. Healso found the Doctor
quite willing to converse on the subject,
and to give Athlophoros full credit for
what it had done in eonquering these
troublesome diseases.
Said Doctor JOY "Within the past
year have given Athlophoros very fair
trial among sufferers by rheumatism, some
of whom were old people and had been
troubled with the disease for long time.
/ have also used it in cases that were not
of such long standing. My experience
has been that it is uniformly successful,
and that it surpasses all medicines I have
ever seen for expelling rheumatism from
the system. My first acquaintance with it
was from a sample bottle which was left at
the house. 1t occurred to me to make an
experiment with this, and the experiment
was so successful that determined to make
regular use of the medicine. In some
cases it acts Immediately, in others not so
quickly, but in all cases surely. / have
never yet been disappointed in it. 1t is
not an opiate to lull pain, as morphine
does, but it carries away the cause of the
pain, which is far better. / cannot see
that it leaves any mischievous effects, as
morphine and other opiates do. Some
times after the first relief have to adj
minister AthlophoEos again, and keep on
for while, notably in cases in which the
malady is of long standing. But in many
cases | have found the cure both speedy
and permanent.
GAS to neuralgia, I have not had SO
the value Of Athlophoros in overcoming it,
medicine, and shall continue to use it.
have no hesitancy in using, in my practice,
anything which [ find powerful to do
what | want-namely, to cure disease"
Mr.. M. Tilton, who transacts business at
Gil
from rheumatism, and was found at his
Office.
Said Mr.. Tilton: az have indeed suf-
fered greatly with rheumatism; my suffer-
ings extending over long series of years.
MY feet and hands were distorted and my
joints were extremely painful. had tried
all the remedies / knew of. Some of them
did no good at all, while some gave partial
and temporary relief. / at last tried the
new remedy, Athlophoros and am very
free to say that this produced rapid
change. Athlophoros is the best medicine
in the world. At first was little nau-
seated by it, but was not discouraged, for
from the very first felt that it was acting
on me with marked effect. The continued
use of it drove out all the pain of rheuma-
tism and all the distortions and swellings.
Now [ am as well as ever, and am, as you
see, able to attend to business regularly.
"Mywife had rheumatism, and was cured
by bottle of Athlophoros. My daughter,
who is fine pianist, was troubled with
rheumatic pains, which settled in the ends
of her fingers, enlarging the joints and
making it almost an impossibility for her
to play on the piano. Half bottle of
Athlophoros was all she took. The rheu-
matism left her, and she was able to re-
sumo her piano practice as before.
My brother-in-law has been cured of
rheumatism by it. One friend who had
sciatica at first thought that Athlophoros
was doing him no good. But he perse-
vered, and soon obtained relief"
