NEURON.-ALGOs.

These are two Greek words which, when rolled into one, make an English word which is painfully common. Neu- ron means nerve. AIgos means pain. Neuralgia means-well, ask anybody who has neuralgia and can speak from excru- ciating experience. Nerve-pain, or ''ess- strangely on the increase during the last few years. It makes life misery by sending sharp bangs of agony throughout the whole system. It converts each nerve into a highway for messages of torture. With aches by day and sleepless torments by night, 1t 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 procession or 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 more obstinately defed the medical faculty than neuralgia and rheumatism.
 Happily for the great army of neuralgia sufferers, new way has been found. which, instead of being slow and uncertain, is prompt, thorough, permanent and 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 lady of middle age, r1a +n Dt neuralgia had enjoyed as good health as 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 called on Mrs. Dietrich, and learned from her the story of her attack and her recovery.
 Mrs. Dietrich said, e In October, 1883, I was suddenly taken with neuralgia, which was new thing te me. It came on very severely, mostly in my face and my right side. I cannot describe to you my suffer- ings, they were so terrible. All night my daughter did her best to relieve me, but with little effect. She bathed my head with various lotions, and applied mustard plasters and other remedies. Early in the morning she started out to the druggists to get some medicine which would give mo some solid relief. She asked the UruSS1St WndL was GIlo UeSL ln1IlS lie Hdu He said he had a new medicine called Athlophoros, which he had heard from good deal as having caused some wonder full cures. I knew nothing about it except what he said, but when my daughter brought it home thought would try it on venture. Almost anything would he better than the agony was enduring. took dose according to the directions. had no idea any medicine could act so quickly. When I took it the pain was almost setting me crazy. My head was so sore that l could hardly bear to have 1t 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 wasl In that attack of neuralgia had seemed to live years and years. It was an experience which never shall for get. The complete relief which I enjoyed was more delightful than I can tell you"
 "And how was it, Mrs. Dietrich, as to the return of yoxr pain? Did you have any??" , :. . ., s;, return. 1 had supposed it would, and l kept the Athlophoros medicine in the house ready for use in case of another attack. But I have had no neuralgia since, and as it has not annoyed me for so long I hope I am now free from it. I never saw any medicine like this Athlo- phoros, and l recommend it to my friends"
 "Athlophoros" is a word, which, like neuralgia, is made of two Greek words, one of which means Prize," the other "Bear- er" It is "The Prize Bearer" It carries off the prize as conqueror of the two tor mentors, neuralgia and rheumatism, as people who have tried it cheerfullv attest
