AUTHORIZATIONS.

These are two Greek words which,
when rolled into one, make an English
word which is painfully common. Neu-
ron means a nerve. Atgos means pain.
Neuralqia means-well, ask anybody who
has neuralgia and can speak from excru-
ciating experience. Nerve-pain, or meu-
raiqia is a dreadful thing, and has been
strangely on the increase during the last
few years It makes life misery by
sending sharp pangs of agony throughout
the whole system. 1t converts each nerve
into a highway for messages of torture.
With aches by day and sleepless torments
by night, it drives its victim to seek for
anything, however difficult or unpleasant.
which will even temporarily allay the
anguish it brings.
Hence. neuralgia sufferers have sought
to soothe their sorrows by all manner of
drugs, even resorting to such terrible
agencies as those of chloral and morphine,
which bring in their train a procession OF
miseries worse, if possible, than neuralgia
itself.
The old methods of treatment sometimes
relieved neuralgia, but seldom cured it en-
tirely when it had taken full possession OF
the system. Those methods were at best
slow and uncertain. No two diseases
more obstinately defed the medical faculty
Happily for the great army of neuralgia
sufferers, new way has been found.
which, instead of being slow and uncertain
is prompt, thorough, permanent ami
delightful. There are many, many cases
which are living evidence OF the success OF
this new way; but for the present let us
refer to one that of Mrs. Dietrich, of New
Haven, Conn.
Mrs Dietrich is a lady of middle age,

most people Her husband is well-known
as foreman in the largest furniture house
in New Haven-that of Messrs. a. l..
Chamberlain & Son. One of our editorial
correspondents recently callod on Mis-.
Dietrich, and learned from her the story
of hsr attack and her recovery.
Mrs. Dietrich said, " In October, 1883,
was suddenly taken with neuralgia, which
was new thing to me. 1t came on very
severely, mostly in my face and my right
side. l cannot describe to you my suffer
ings, they were SO terrible. All night my
daughter did her best to relieve ne, but
with little effect. She bathed my head
with various lotions, and applied mustard
plasters and other remedies Early in tie
morning she started out to the druggis
to get some medicine which would give
me some solid relief. She asked The
druggist what was the best thing he had.
He said he had a new medicine called
Athlophoros, which he had heard from a
good deal as having caused some wonder
full cures. l knew nothing about it except
what he said, but when my daughter
brought it home l thought l would try it
on venture. Almost anything would lie
better than the agony l was enduring. ]

had no idea any medicine could act Sc
quickly. When 1 took it the pain was
almost setting me crazy. My head was SO
sore that could hardly bear to have it
touched. In one hour most of the pain
was gone I took another Dose In three
hours the pain was all gone Oh! what a
relief it was! In that attack of neuralgia
had seemed to live years and years. 1t
was an experience which l never shall for
get. The complete relief which l enjoyed
was more delightful than I can tell you"
"And how was it, Mrs. Dietrich, as to
the return of your pain? Did you have

return. l had supposed it would, and
kept the Athlophoros medicine in the
house ready for use in case of another
stack But 1 have had no neuralgia
since, and as it has not annoyed me for so
long hope 1 am now free from it. l
never saw any medicine like this Athlo-
phoros, and recommend it to my friends"
"Athlophoros" is word, which, like
neuralgia, is made of two Greek words, one
of which means Price" the other "Bccr-
err" 1t is "The Prize Bearer" 1t carries
off the prize as conqueror of the two ter
mentors, neuralgia and rheumatism, as
people who have tried it cheerfillv attest
