a HEIpLEss MAN HELPED.

At Greencastle, Indiana, an hours ride
from indianapolis, lives Mr.. d. L. South
ard, gentleman, well known throughout
Indiana. Among other honorable positions
which he holds is that of Trustee of the
De Pauw University. Mr.. Southard is
brother-in-law Of Bishop Bowman, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.
For many years Mr.. Southard was
martyr TO rheumatism in its most afflic-
tive form. Up to July, 1883, he was nearly
helpless, and could move only with great
pain. At that time Bishop Bowman, hav-
ing seen how greatly the Rev. Mr.. Keely,
of indianapolis, had been relieved'b by the
new remedy, Athlophoros, brought Mr..
Southard bottle Of that medicine, and
advised him TO try 1t.
Mr.. Southard's experience, resulting
from his trial of Athlophoros, was thus
stated at recent interview. Bishop
Bowman happened TO be visiting Mr..
Southland at the time, and the exchange Of
ideas and opinions as to rheumatism and
the radical remedy for It, was free and
pleasant.
Said Mr.. Southard: II had for years
been suffering with rheumatic pains.
My arms and legs were swollen, and tho
pain was sharp and constant. / was unable
to dress myself or even TO put on INV
stockings. My wife had to liz me and
turn me in bed. Bishop Bowman brought
me bottle Of Athlophoros. I hardly |
dared to hope for any benefit from it, for I
had taken so many medicines.
II began to take the Athlophoros first
as directed. At that time was suffering
frightful pain. In few hours there was
n remarkable change. 1 broke out into a
profuse perspiration, and had strange
feeling Of relief. In few hours more all
my pain was gone. l could stretch nv
legs and move my joints as had not been
able to for long time. II seemed wonder
ful, after all my experience, that any med /
icine could have such effects. [ feared I
that this was Of such power that Il would
60 to my vital parts and end ny life.
Knowing not what might be the result, I /
quietly prepared myselffor the final change
and calmly awaited il. 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
paini =,
81 gave letter TO the Athlophoros con-
cern, which was published. Il brought
me a great many inquiries by mail from
various parts of the country. l wish I
could show you some Of those letters, but
l was clearing out my desk the other day,
and destroyed the whole pile Of them.
One was from man in Winchester, In
diana, whose wife was suffering agony. I
directed him where to get the medicine
and it soon made her well. The wife of
Prof. Goblin, Of the University, was suffer-
ing with rheumatism, and Athlophoros
cured her, as well as good many others.
"At times l would have return of my
rheumatism, but nothing like that form
erly had. Each attack was lighter. Each
time fought 1t with Athlophoros, and got,
the better Of it. Now have for year
enjoyed good health and freedom from
pains. took in all ten or twelve bottles,
Of the medicine, and II l were again to be
attacked by rheumatism would take more.
Bishop Bowman, on being asked "was
the relief which Mr.. Southard experienced
more than'you had expectedT' replied:
Certainly Il was, for had not expected
anything. i brought him the Athiopho-
ros because / had seen that it had done SO
much good TO Mr.. Keely and others in In
dianapolis II seemed last resort, for
Mr.. Southard's case was such severe one
that l had little or no hope Of even giving
him relief But seeing the completeness
Of his cure have recommended the medi-
cine 10 Others. / have not had occasion TO
use it myself for I have not had rheuma-
tism and am in excellent health. OF all
those TO whom 1 have recommended II I
have heard Of only one instance in which
decided benefit was not gained. consider
Athlophoros wonderful medicine"
