A HELPLESS 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 Paw University. Mr.. Southland is
brother-in-law of Bishop Bowman, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.
For many years Mr. Southland was
martyr to rheumatism in its most Attic
tive form. Up to July, 1885, he was nearly
pain. At that time Bishop Bowman, hav-
ing seen how greatly the Rev. Mr.. Keely,
of indianapolis, had been relieved by the
new remedy, Athlophoros, brought Mr..
Southland a bottle of that medicine, and
advised him to try it.
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.. Southland :ssI had for years
been suffering with rheumatic pains.
My arms and legs were swollen, and the
pain was sharp and constant. Twas unable
to dress myself, or even to put on n
stockings. My wife had to lift me az
turn me in bed. Bishop Bowman brough.
me bottle of Athlophoros / hardly
dared to hope for any benefit from it, for I
had taken SO many medicines.
at began to take the Athlophoros first
as directed. At that time | was suffering
frightftll pain. In a few hours there was
remarkable change. / broke out into
profuse perspiration, and had a strange
feeling of relief. In few hours more all
my pain was gone. / could stretch my
legs and move my joints as had not been
able to for a long time. 1t seemed wonder
full, after all my experience, that any med
icine could have such effects. | feared
that this was Of such power that it would
go to my vital parts and end my life.
Knowing not what might be the result,
quietly prepared myselffor the final change
and calmly awaited it. But instead of
putting an end to me the Athlophoros only
put an end to the pain. What new and
delightful experience it was to be without
paint
Il gave letter to the Athlophoros con-
Germ, which was published. 1t brought
me great many inquiries by mail from
various parts of the country. [ wish /
could show you some of those letters, but
/ 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.
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.
DAT times / would have return of my
rheumatism, but nothing like that form
erly had. Each attack was lighter. Each
time fought it 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 if / were again to be
attacked by rheumatism would take more.
Bishop Bowman, 'on being asked twas
the relief which Mr.. Southland experienced
more than you had expected?" replied:
certainly it was, for had not expected
anything. | brought him the Athlopho-
ros because had seen that it had done so
much good to Mr.. Keely and others in In
dianapel;s. 1t seemed last resort, for
Mr.. Soathard's case was such severe one
that ] had little or no hope of even giving
him relief. But seeing the completeness
of his cure I have recommended the medi-
cine to others. / have not had occasion to
use it myself, for have not had rheuma-
tism and am in excellent health. Of all
those to whom have recommended it
have heard of only one instance in which
decided benefit was not gained. consider
