SAVED FROM DEATH OR MADNHss.

John MacGreevy is the ticket agent Of
at Springfield, o., and as such is we'll known
to its citizens and the travellers whom BUSH
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 presi-
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-send to Mrs. MacGreevy, giving her
back health and strength. Her own account
of her sutferings and cure shows how great
must have been the agony she endured.
She says:
''For four long years l was victim of
neuralgia Each succeeding year it seemed
to gradually grow worse with more frequent
attacks. Two years ago last February
was taken with the most severe pain of all.
For months L suffered the greatest agony. L
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.
/ 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 | 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 week. For long time
afterwards l could only see with one eye.
II begged my people to kill me. Oh, 1
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
er had taken two doses, and when l had
taken half bottle l went downstairs. In
two weeks after L began using the medicine
| was able to walk out, and l was never
confined to my room or bed after that 1
kept right on using the medicine until had
used twelve bottles. My case was such a
severe one that wanted to be sure and get
the disease completely out of my SYSTEM"

my father" she replied, "picked up a
| pamphlet at our door, in which was an ac-
count of some of the cures it had made"
"Did you get the medicine at once9"
mo; not Immediately, as | was under
the doctors care at that time, but shortly
afterwards. Finding thatI was growing
worse instead of better my father went to
the druggists and bought bottle of Athlo-
phoros."
at probably saved your life, did it not?''
ut either saved my life Or saved me from
being raving maniac, for could not have
endured the mental strain much longer. l
never can say or do too much for the medi-
cine. have always said that since it did
SO much for me l would be perfectly will
ing to have my case and name stated to the
public, so that others who were afflicted as
was may be induced to use Athlophoros.
II you can not get ATHLoPHoR0s of your
druggist we will SEM it express paid, on re-
| ceipt OF regular price-one dollar per bottle.
| We prefer that you buy it from your druggist,
but II he hasn't it, do not be persuaded to try
| something else, but order at once from us, as
| directed. ATHLoPHoRoS Co., LIZ Wall Street,
