Caption

Additional text on lower front of card: Compliments of the Athlophoros Co. Bottom right of card: 2036.
Rheumatism and Neuralgia...It is now very generally admitted that these diseases arise from a poisoned condition of the blood, and this explains why outward applications are entirely futile...Persuaded that his affliction could only be relieved by a remedy which would deal with the obstructive acid which poisoned and inflamed his blood, he devoted himself to study and experiment, aided by the best scientific help, to find such a remedy, the result being the discovery of Athlophoros...By its expulsion of rheumatic and neuralgic acid from the system, its invigoration of the muscles and healthy lubrication of the joints, Athlophoros has triumphed in every instance. This wonderful specific for hitherto incurable diseases is compounded with the utmost care, and contains nothing whatever that can injure the most delicate organism...
