John MacGreeyy is the ticket agent Of
the New York. Pennsylvania and Ohio
II. r. at Springfield, o., and as such is well
known to its citizens and the travellers
whom business or inclination may call 20
that pleasant and enterprising city. Mr..
MacGreevy is a happy man, not because
any great fortune has been left him nor be
cause he secs any immediate prospect Of
rising to the presidency of the corporation
which he faithfully serves, but because his
wife has been restored to health after years
Of almost living death. Mrs MacGreevy's
complaint was neuralgia and her case was
said by those competent TO know TO have
been as severe as it could be without caus-
ing death. Athlophoros was the remedy
which came as a God-send to Mrs. Mac
Greevy, giving her back health and
strength. Her own account of her suffer
| ings and cure shows how great must have
been the agony she endured. She says:
"FOr four long years l wusa victim Of neu-
| ralgia. Each succeeding year it seemed
| to gradually grow worse with more frc-
quent attacks. Two years ago last Febru-

suffering and had to be held to keep me

head would perhaps partly describe my

only see with one eye.

I thought, if could only die what sweet
relief it would be. Il was at this fearful
stage of the disease and after medical aid

give relief that 1 began using AthlophOrOs,
