TEE HAPPINESS OF ELysIuI

Elysium was the name given by the an
ricnt Greeks to the resting place OF the
righteous dead, where they should enjoy
cterRal peace and happiness None but
the pure in heart, thetrlithful and the gen.
rrons could tread the asphodel meadows of
uf the Elysian fields and il was a land of
everlasting delight. When, therefore, Mrs.
Kate Sherman, of Streator, ILL.,, said re-
Gently that she had been in Elysium,
though Of course she spoke fguratiyely, 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:
Il have suffered from inflammatory
rheumatism for more than thirty years
Heretofore the pain would succumb to the
application of hot wet flannel, but at my
last attack circumstances had conspired to
aggravate the disease, and became help
less. My hands and feet were swollen
enormously, and suffered almost mortal
agony. My physician brought me bot
tie of Athlophoros After taking the
third dose was in Elysium, and was free
from pain. BY the time / had taken
bottle and half felt SO wonderfully i'm
proved that | discontinued the medicine
] have an ungovernahle dislike to all med
icine, but | willsay that Ath.ophoros prob
ably saved my life, as was running down
rapidly, and could not have endured the
pain much longer. 1t afforded me the
only relief ever experienced except from
hot water, and that had failed me"
The Rev. Samuel Porter, Of Crete, H.,
says Of the effect Of Athlophoros upon his
wife:
Mrs. Porter was very much benefited
by the first bottle. Before she commenced
taking it she could not walk, she was so
badly afflicted with rheumatism, but she
was soon able to walk She sleeps we'll.
MIR. John Hews, our neiglibor, 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 clergyman, the Rev. C. Hart
ley, Of Huntley, I'LL, gives this as his ex-
perience with the remedy:
For six months l suffered severely
from an attack of rheumatism. A friend
Vtiit iiC u tttiAt VI otttldI ttlidbtt tttttS
effected by Athlophoros procured the
medicine, and less than one bottle COM
fletely cured me, and have not had the
least indication of return of the painful
disease. | have recommended it to others
and results similar to those in my own
case have followed. Iregard Athlophoros
us invaluable"
A. nj. Biakney, who lives at the corner Of
Union and Green streets, Decatur, I'LL,
only confirms the general testimony TO the
value of Athlophoros when he says:
During the past winter was stricken
with a very severe attack of rheumatism
disease with which had been afflicted
forseyeral years-and was rendered almost
helpless, and confined to my bed | tried
various medicines, and was prescribed for
by physicians with no avail Finally |
was induced by my druggist to try Athlo-
phoros | was relieved and cured so
quickly that words could not tell my sur
prise. do not hesitate in recommending
it to any one suffering with that most pain
ful complaint, rheumatism" 80
