A Visit to the Temple Of Music and Beer

Among Chicago's many resorts there
are but few that are better patrpnized
than the "Rath-Keller" of Mr.. L. P.
Hansen, OF Nos. 90 and 101 Madison
street, and Nos. 100 and 1872 Dearborn
street, visit to this abode of pleasu e
being always in order. Here the con.
noisseur In liquors finds his choice bev-
erage, whatever it may be; and as for
imported beers-they are to be had with
out end We have termed it temple
of music, and not without an excellent
reason therefor, as a visit to the estab-
lishment any night from II O'Clock un-
til will fully justify, for Mr.. Hansen
has introduced a new feature into his
business it is this: At the conclusion
of the nights performances in our va
rious theatres the orchestral performers
thereof, by a standing invitation from
Mr.. Hansen, assemble nightly for a
grand supper, and surely at this hour
he is in search OF a "feast of reason
and flow of soul, )" or good solid feast
and flowing bowl, will find it in
Der Ratbs-Keller. When the viands
have been cleared away and good cheer
prevails, the musical instruments are
brought into use, and then, then, indeed
there is music.
Our reporter lately visited the estab-
lishment, by invitation of Mr.. Hansen,
and was so delighted as to exclaim:
"Mr. Hansen, | should imagine that
the presiding genius over this nightly
assembly would never know of anything
but pleasant hours. Who would think
of sickness or sorrow here, where all is
gayety?"
"Well," replied Mr.. Hansen, "the
presiding genius, as you say, has not
much trouble from sickness or sorrow,
am proud 10 say; the most serious ex-
perience he ever had in that line being
about year ago, when he suffered from
rheumatism. / can assure you, though,

for about three or four weeks, and at

"My wife was next attacked with the
rhuematism, and, as in my case, st. ia
cobs Oil was brought into requisition.
and with like result, the OF curing
her in very short time.
Another remarkable case was that Of
my personal friend, Mr.. w. s. Gaun-
non, book.keeper for the house of p.
O'Neill, the State street wine merchant,
house established in 1851. That gen
tleman (Mr. g. suffered a great deal
from the rheumatism until he tried St.
Jacobs Oil, but that woodworking
medicine put stop to his misery, and
cured him in a very little while. He
says that there is nothing to equal the
Great German Remedy for the cure of
tlat dread Decentralization.
Another noteworthy instance is that
of a well known business man, probably
one of the bes, known men in Chicago :
n gentleman whose Endorsement should
carry weight in any matter is c. c..
CrapP, manager OF Gossett's carpet and
dry goods house, one of the most extern
sive establishments of that kind in the
city. Mr.. Crapp was for long time a
sufferer from Rheumatism, and was
cured by st. Jacobs Oil-the never.fail-
ing cure He is actually enamored of the
Oil, and says that there is nothing equal
to it in the world. He says that he
tried many different remedies, but found
them entirely useless, until he tried St.
Jacobs Oil. The cure came with the
Oil, and now Mr.. Crapp is continually
praising that remarkable remedy
