THE HAPPINESS OF LLYsIUI

Elysium was the name given by the an
cient Greeks. to the resting place OF the
righteous dead, where they should enjoy
eternal peace and happiness None but
the pure in heart, thetruthful and the gen
erous could tread the asphodel meadows Of
Of the Elysian fields and il was 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:
81 have suffered from infammatory
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
enormousl y, 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 time | had taken a
bottle and half felt so wonderfully I'M
proved that | discontinued the medicine
have an ungoycrnabledislike to all med
icine, but | llsay that Ath,aphoros prob
ably saved my life, as was running down
rapidly, and could not have endured the
pain much longer 1t afforded NE the
only relief ever experienced 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 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.
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 clergyman, the Rev. c. Hart
ley, Of HuntIey, ILL.,, gives this as his ex-
perience with the remedy:
"For six months | suffered severely
| from an attack Of rheumatism. A friend
sent me a notice of several reliable cures
effected by Athlophoros | procured the
medicine, and less than one bottle COM
| pletcly cured me, and have not had the
least indication of a return of the painful
| disease. have recommended it to others
and results similar to those in my own
case have followed. Iregard Athlophoros
as Invaluable
A. NJ. Blakney, who lives at the corner of
Union and Green streets, Decatur, lll.,
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
a disease with which had been afflicted
forseyeral years-and was rendered almost
helpless, and confined to nav bed. | tried
various medicines, and was prescribed for
by physicians with no avail Finally
was induced ly my druggist to try Athlo-
phoros. | was relieved and cured so
quickly that words could not tell my SIR
prise. do not hesitate in recommending
it to any one suffering with that most pain
tul complaint, rheumatism" -
