A STARTLING FACT.

II is not commonly known that large
proportion of the rheumatism and neu-
ralga extant is traceabe directly TO the
diseased condition or imperfect action OF
the kidneys and liver; therefore remedy
which cures the resulting disease must
have found and smitten the first cause.
Many persons using Athlophoros for
rheumatism and neuralgia have been
surprised to find that chronic disorders of
the liver and kidneys have also been
greatly relieved and they have written
for an explanation. The fact is, that the
remedy acts directly on these organs,
cleansing them from all Irritating sub
stances and regulating their action. Taken
in connection with Athlophoros Pills this
is, without exception, the most valuable
kidney and liver remedy in the world, and
will cure large proportion of those who
have these diseases.
Copake Iron Works, Copake, N, Y.
For the last five years have been sub
ject to severe attacks of rheumatism which
would cause me the most cxcruciating pain
in my chest; was obliged to put myself
under the doctors care for two or three
months at time, and even then it was
almost impossible to get any relief. The
last time was taken my son was at home,
and l requested him TO call the doctor,
but he said he had heard of new remedy
for rheumatism called Athlophoros and
advised me to try it. did and You can
imagine my surprise was relieved of all
pain after taking one bottle and have not
been troubled since. 1t saved me quite
sum of money, and what is better, l was
not obliged to endure weeks of suffering;
would not be without it in the house. Have
recommended it to Others and 1t never fails
to give relief. l.. ii. PATTERSON.
