AN OLD PREJUDICE DISAPPEARING,

Women doctors are so numerous now
that the prejudice against them has long
since died out. There are several in the
United States, it is said, who enjoy an
annual income of $4,000 and over. and a
practice worth $1,000 a year is common.
They have reached their present honorable
position by hard and conscientious work,
and all they receive is we'll earned. Medi-
cal colleges for women are now established
in all the large cities and the graduates
from them number several hundred every
year. Among the women doctors of Hi
nois is Miss .Addie NJ. Barnes, of Danville,
who recently moved to that city from La
fayette, Ind. She has recently had herself as
a patient, and how she was successful in
working a cure she tells as follows:
81 had a very stubborn case of sciatica
and had been confined to my bed for three
weeks. [ had blistered the limb and used
all kinds Of liniments to no purpose. Rev.
DR.. Buchtel told me of the wonderful REM
edy, Athlophoros. Our druggist sent for it
and l bought two bottles of it. Before l
had taken three doses l was able to get out
of bed and sit up for two hours. In three
days / went down the street. I believe
that had I persevered with the remedy the
cure would have been permanent. How
ever, I have never been such a sufferer since.
l keep A%thlophoros in my office and often
tell patients of the great relief it gave me,
and recommend it."
E. K. Mercer, proprietor of the Princeton
QQl.) Tribune, says of Athlophoros:
eft is a good medicine and did me more
good than did half a dozen DOCTORS"
Mr.. John H. Hutsel, proprietor of the
West Side Pavilion, No. 67S West IlMi-
ana street. Chicago, who had been a victim
of rheumatism, says:
81 never had a severe case of sickness
before this rheumatism came III me and I
would just remark right here that I never
want another such. When it first made it's
appearance I consulted a physician, but his
medicine made me worse. I then went to
St Joseph's Hospital. After being there
some time and getting no relief l went
back home. After being at home Il few
days 1 heard about Athlophoros and de-
cided to try it myself. l came from the
hospital on the Sd of July. Two days aft
er that l was unable to walk or sleep at
menced with the Athlophoros on the 7th
inst, and by the 18th of the month / was
we'll. You can see by my book. I have an
exact record of the dates of the time I COM
menced using and when I was WE'LL"
elbow long were you sick, Mr.. Hutsel?"
"For five weeks l was confined to my
bed, during which time l lost twenty-three
pounds Of flesh"
"How much did you use to effect this
cure?"
"Two bottles did the work and I have
not felt any pain or return Of the disease
since"
"Have you known of any others that
have used A~thlophoros?"
eyes; the lady that recommended it to
me said she knew of an old chronic case of
twenty years. standing that had been cured
by the use of Athlophoros. l have had
many persons that knew how I had been
afflicted and suffered inquire what cured me.
1 am always glad to be able to say that
Athlophoros is the sovereign remedy for
rheumatism"
