A POPULAR CLERGYMAN.

Among the beautiful buildings of Kala-
mazoo, Michigs n, none are more conspicu-
GUS than the new Presbyterian Church,
which is now rapidly approaching COM
pletion. 1t takes the place of a building
In which a former generation worshipped
and which was one of the landmarks of
the city. The pastor of this church is the
Rev. George F. Hunting, one of the most
genial and popular men among the min
listers of the West.
Recently gentleman was in Kalama-
zoe making some inquiries concerning
rheumatism and its remedy. Calling on
the druggists of Kalamazoo, he found that
they all spoke in the highest terms of
Athlophoros as remedy ofextraordinary
effect In cases of rheumatism, and on be-
ing asked who had been cured of rheuma-
tism by this medicine, they mentioned the
Rev. Mr.. Hunting, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, and Mr.. e. f. Rice,
acarpenter and an old resident of Kalama-
ZOO. To the parsonage therefore, he wendell
his way, and found Mr.. Hunting, not by any
means with an appearance of being Grip
pied up with rheumatism, but rather pre-
senting the spectacle of an unusually ro-
bust and hearty gentleman.

a bottle of this new remedy. A few doses

much good that have confidence in the

Calling at the home of Mr.. Rice,
1892 South Burdick street, and asking as
to his rheumatism and its relief Mr..
Rice said substantially as follows:
Mine is an old and tough case. L am

"Mr. Rice, how did you happen first to
take Athlophoros?"
"Well, Ijust happened to see it adver-

But all that time you were paying
good deal for glass and water, were you
not, Mr.. Rice?"
"Well, perhaps I was. We won't dis
