THE HAPPINESS OF ELYSIUM.

Elysium was the name given bv the
ancient Greeks to the resting place of
the righteous dead, where they shonld
ENJOY eternal peace and happiness.
None but the pure in heart, the truthfo al
and generous could tread the asphodel
meadows Of the Elysian fields, and it
was land of everlasting delight.
When, therefore, Mrs Kate Sherman,
Of Streator, ILL.,, said recently that she
had been in Elysiun, though of course
she spoke fguratlvely, it argued that
some great good fortune and Joy had
come to her And such, indeed, was
the truth. Mrs. Sherman tells how it
was in this way:
II have suffered from infiammatory
rAsuEnatism for more than thirty wears,
Heretofore the pain would succumh to
the al pHcation OF hot wet flannel, but
az my last attack circumstances con-
spired to aggravate the disease, and I
became helpless. Ny hands and feet
were swollen enormously, and suffer-
ed ainaost mortal agony. My physician
bought me a bottle of Athlophoros.
After taking the third dose I was in
Ely SUM, and was free from pain. By
tn time had taken bottle and a half
[ telt so wonderfully improved that I
discontinued the medicine. I have an
uDgovernable dislike 60 all medicine.
but will say that Athlopheros pros.
ably saved my life, as I was running
down rapidly, and could not have en-
duIed the pain much longer. It afford
ed me the only relief / have ever ex-
perieneed, except from hot water, and
that had failed me-"
The Rev. Samuel Porter, of Crete, ILL,
says of the effect of Athlophoros upon
his wife:
Mrs. Porter was very much benefit
| ed by the first bottle. Before she com
menced taking it she could not walk.
she was SO badly afflicted with rheuma-
| tism, but she was soon able to walk.
She sleeps well. Mr.. John Hews, our
neighbor, was very badly off with the
| rheumatism last winter, and was not
| able to work or even to get out of his
room. One bottle of Athlophoros cured
him, but he has to keep it by him to
take when he feels his old difficulties"
Another clergy man, the Rev. G. Hart
ley, OF Huntiey, ILL.,, gives this as his
experience vita the remedy:
For six menths I suffered severely
| from an attack of rheumatism. A
| friend sent me notice of several reli-
| able cures affected by Athlophoros. /
| procured the medicine, and less than
one bottle completely cured me, and l
| have not had the least Indication of a
return OF the painful disease. have rec
commended it to others, and results sim
| liar to those in my own case have fol-
lowed. I regard Athlophoros as inval.
uable."
A. M. Blakney, who lives at the cor
Ter of Union and Green streets, D6ca-
tar, ILL.,, only confirms the general ties.
| Timouy to the value of Athlophoros
when he says:
Daring the past winter 1 was stricken with
a very severe attack of rheumatism-a disease
with which had been afflicted for several wears
| and was rendered almost helpless, and confined
| to my bed. tried various medicines and was
| prescribed for by physicians with no avail Fin.
| ally was induced by my druggist to try Athlo.
| phoros was relieved and cured so quickly that
| words could not tell my surprise. do not kesi-
| tate IN recommending it TO any one suffering
| with that most painful complaint rheumatism "
