Stories OF adventures on the rail, OF the
heroism of engineers and ilremen, the gallantry
and bravery Of conductors, the thrilling es-
cdpes from death of brakemen, and OF the
many superstltions OF railroad men regarding
their dangerous calling, constitute form of
literature as entirely peculiar To the last fifty
years of the nineteenth century as the develop
ment of steam itself. The engineers position
as popular hero and romancer seems assured.
The newspaper reporter apparently never tires
OF stories of the grimy drivers affection for
the pOnderous machine which he controls, of
his half belief that there is something almost
human in favorite locomotive, and Of his
yarns about being chased bya phantom engine,
and miraculous escapes from an immediate
and horrible death. Perhaps next In populari-
~ Is the fireman's always exciting accounts OF
how he crawled out on the cowcatcher of his
engine and snatched from the rails golden
haired lovely baby just in the very nick OF
time to save 1t from being crushed beneath the
great wheels. How we all admire him for IL,
and feel as thankful for his heroism as the
horror-stricken mother who Is Invariably
helpless witness of her darlng's danger and
who lfaints away when she sees him safe In
the arms OF the fireman.
Knights of the cab we honor YOU and feel
sure that beneath many an oil-stained blouse
beats more chivalric and courageous heart
than did beneath the bullet-proof armor of
many knight who in days of old boldly led
bis unprotected soldiers where the leaden hail
fell thickest. But we ask hearing for the
train-despatcher II his position is not hedg-
ed around with danger 1t Is at least one OF
great responsibility and importance, and he
merits attention. Mr.. William Blair the train
dispatcher on the Detroit Grand Haven aud
Milwaukee Railroad at Detroit, tells this good
story of not altogether pleasant experience
of his.
"For about fifteen years | have been an al
most constant sufferer from neuralgia, which
often untitled me for my duties and made life
burden The strain on my nerves was so
great that | nearly lost the use of one of my
eyes. / never succeeded in getting anything
that would give me more than temporary re-
lief until began using Athlophoros. A few
doses relieved me and the first bottle made a
very decided change. In all have probably
used half dozen bottles, and 1t is six months
since have had an attack.
II keep the medicine on hand all the time.
| have some here at my Office and some at
home, so that / am well prepared in case | may
need it, IL the neuralgia came on during
business a dose or two would soon drive 1t
away. For neuralgia AthlophorOs is undoubt-
edly the best medicine / know Of, and think
| ought to know rs during the many years that
i have suffered j have had occasion TO try
about everything in the line OF medicine for
this complaint My confidence in Athlophoros
Is such that have recommended II to many
persons troubled with neuralgia, and in all
cases IL has been used very satisfactorily. In
one case that call to mind the gentleman
found relief In two doses and in short time
was entirely well have recommended it.
