SAVED FROM DEATH OR MADNEgs.

John MacGreevy is the ticket agent of
the New York, Pennsylvania IL Ohio r r.
at Springfield, O., and as such is well known
to its citizens and the travellers whom bust
ness or inclination may call to that pleasant
and enterprising city. Mr.. MacGreevy is a
happy man, not because any great fortune
his been left him nor because he sees any
immediate prospect of rising to the prl,i-
dency of the corporation which he faithful
ly serves, but because his wife has been re-
stored 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 causing death. Ath-
lophoros was the remedy which came as a
God-ssnd to Mrs. MacGreevy, giving her
back health and strength. Her own account
of her suferings and cure shows how great
must have been the agony she endured.
She says:
"For four long years 1 was a victim of
neuralgia. Each succeeding year it seemed
to gradually grow worse with more frequent
attacks. Two years ago last February l
was taken with the most severe pain of all.
For monthsI suffered the greatest agony. [
was nearly frantic with the suffering and
had to be held to keep me from pulling my
hair out by the roots from the top of my
head, where most of the pain was seated.
l did not know what sleep was, except such
little as ! got by the use Of morphine. L
can not describe my terrible agony in words.
To say that l felt as if a red hot knife had
been placed on my head would perhaps
partly describe my pain. The strain onmy
nervous system was so great that it affected
the nerves of my eyes and | was totally
blind in both for q week. For long time
afterwards could only see with one eye.
Il begged my people to kill me. Oh, l
thought, if could only die what sweet re-
lief it would be. 1t was at this fearful stage
of the disease and after medical aid seemed
to be exhausted in its power to give relief
that l began using Athlophoros. 1t was
magical in its work. felt some relief aft
ey had taken two doses, and when L had
taken half bottle l went downstairs. In
two weeks after [ began using the medicine
| | was able to walk out, and l was never
| confined to my room or bed after that. l
| kept right on using the medicine until L had
! used twelve bottles. Ny case was such q
severe one that I wanted to be sure and get
| the disease completely out of my system"
"Where did you first hear Of Athlopho-
ros, Mrs. MacGreevE?"

| pamphlet at our door, in which was an ac-
count OF some Of the cures it had made"

afterwards Finding that l was growing

never can say or do too much for the medi
cine. | have always said that since it die
so much for me would be perfectly will
ing to have my case and name stated to thu
public, so that others who were afflicted a
