SAVED FROM DEATH OR MADNESS.

John MacGreevy is the ticket agent of
the New York, Pennsylvania &c Ohio r. r.
at Springfield, o., and rs such is well known
to its citizens and the travellers whom busi-
ness or inclination may call to that pleasant
and enterprising city. Mr.. MacGreevy Is a
happy man, not because any great fortune
h..s been left him nor because he sees any
immediate prospect Of rising to the presi-
dency of the corporation which he faithful.
Iy serves, but because his wife has been re-
stored to health after years of almost living
death. Mrs. AIacGreevy'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 suiferings and cure shows how great
must have been the agony she endured.
She says:
"For four long years was q victim of
neuralgia. Each succeeding year 1t 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.

had to be held to keep Inc from pulling my
hair out by the roots from the top of my
head, where most of the pain wasGeated.

little as 1 got by the use OF morphine.
can not describe my terrible agony in words.
To say that 1 felt as If red hot knife had
been placed on my head would perhaps
partly describe my pain. The strain oniny
nervous system was so great that 1t affected
the nerves of my eyes and L was totally
blind In both for week. For long time
afterwards could only see with one eye.

lief it would be. twas at this fearful stage
of the disease and after medical aid seemed

used twelve bottles. My case was such a
severe one that L wanted to be sure and get
tho disease completely out of my system" F"
"Where did you first hear Of Athlopho-
ros Mrs. MacGreeyy?"
"My father" she replied, "picked up d
pamphlet at our door, In which was an ac-
count OF some of the cures it had made"
"Did you get the medicine at onceT'
"No; not Immediately, as l was under
the doctors care at that time, but shortly
afterwards. Finding that i was growing
worse instead of better my father went tc
the druggists and bought a bottle Of Athlo-
phoros."
