ARE HAIR PINS INJURIOUS?

The largest percentage of neuralgio headache seems to be among ladies, and most certainly they have a cause. Some have attributed it to the hair being tightly drawn over the head and held in place by hair-pins; in this way the nerves of the scalp are irritated and neuralgia caused. Relief is sometimes experienced by removing the hair-pins, but it is only temporary. J. P. Mallette, of the Mallette & Raymond Manufacturing Company, No. 320 South Canal street, Chicago, tells as follows how his wife was completely cured of neuralgia: “Yes; she was sick off and on for a long time, but a half bottle of Athlophoros cured her so that she has not suffered any since. When it was first recommended to her she would not get it, as 6he was always opposed to taking any kind of patent medicine. But as the treatment she was under gave her no relief, I insisted on her trying Athlophoros. After using half a bottle the neuralgia was gone, and has not returned since. I told a gentleman at the Walnut House, Greencastle, Ind., where I was stopping, to get a bottle, and if it did not cure the intense suffering that ho was enduring he could have the cost of the medicine added to my hotel bill.”

“Well, did it cure him?” “Yes; it cured him at once. I have recommended it to at least fifty different persons, and in every case that I know about it has always given the same good results.” James D. Gibbin, room 33, No. 125 Dearborn street, Chicago, 111., is enthusiastic in his praise of the medicine that has cured him of his rheumatism after he had tried in vain many different remedies as wsll as physicians. “It was inflammatory rheumatism that had a firm hold on me,” he says. “Many times it laid me aside from my business, confining me to the house and many times to my bed. Medicine did me no good. It looked as if I was doomed to suffer on without any relief.” “How did you come to use Athlophoros, Mr. Gibbin?”

“It was in this way. My occupation being that of a traveling man, I had tho opportunity of coming in contact with' many rheumatic sufferers, and consequently was recommended to use all the leading remedies on the market, many of which I used with no benefit whatever. During my trips to Beaver Dam, Wis., I became acquainted with a lady who was a confirmed invalid from rheumatism. She could not walk at the time I first met her, hut was rolled around in an invalid chair. Whenever I went there we always compared notes on the rheumatic question. One day last winter I was astonished to find her walking around and well from the rheumatism. Upon inquiry as to how she got well she said Athlophoros had done the work. Knowing what a wonderful cure this was, as her case was a very severe one, I at once commenced using the medicine myself. The relief and cure was very quick.” “How much did you take in all?” “Four bottles.” “Have you had any return of the complaint?” “Not at all.” If you can not get Athlophoros of your druggist, we will send it, express paid, on receipt of regular price—one dollar per bottle. We prefer that you buy it from your druggist, but if he hasn’t it, do not be persuaded to try something else, but order at once from us, as dirocted, Athlophoros Co., 112 Wall street, New York.
