A SURPRISING CHANGE.

With its broad streets and majestic
avenues adorned with stately buildings,
Detroit is one of the most magnificent cities
on this continent. Its new system of
electric lighting throws into obscurity all
the old methods, and ieaves ordinary street
lamps where dingy tallow dips used to be.
The new lights are on light lattice work
towers, 125 to 100 feet high, shedding q
radiance which is like intensified moon
light. The effect of this when the city is
covered with its white robe of snow, is
strangely beautiful.
gentleman recently spent day or two
In Detroit, pushing his researches to some
extent In the direction of finding out as to
the new method OF curing rheumatism by
means of Athlophoros, the remedy which
In the last year or two has attained such
favor SIS victor over this old enemy of
.he human race. Calling on Mr.. r. B.
Watson, the well-known superintendent
of the American District Telegraph Com
pany, he found that gentleman cheerfully
ready to say all the pleasant things he
could about Athlophoros.
"Mywife," said Mr.. Watson, twas suf-
fering terribly from rheumatism her pains
were both in joints and muscles. So ex-
cruciating were her agonies when she
moved, that sometimes on assuming one
position in the morning she would remain
in that position all day rather than en-
dure the torment of being moved. l pro-
cured a bottle of Athlophoros, and the
effect on my wife was as surprising as
it was gratifying. We had no idea that any
medicine could so speedily remove such an
obstinate disease. She was soon cured,
and the cure was complete. Since that
she has had no return of the disorder. We
speak freely among our friends of the good
work of Athlophoros, and have no hesita-
ton in saying how highly we esteem it,
Visiting nearly all the leading drug
stores in the city, it was found that all who
had kept Athlophoros had received from
their customers marked commentator of
its efficacy. One lady had taken six bot
ties of it with the result ola completecure.
At Frizelle's, on Michigan Avenue, one of
the clerks had taken 1t with excellent
effect. This young man, Mr.. Cohen,
had suffered greatly with rheumatism.
Though surrounded by medicines of every
description, they did not reach his
case. Mr.. Cohen tried Athlophoros,
and found that it did for him what moth
ing else had been able to do.
From Detroit to Chicago is but days
ride, and III the latter city Athlophoros has
also accomplished some wonderful results.
In Chicago, at 905 West Twelfth street,
lives, Mr.. William w. Summers, of
the vell-known firm of Summers, Nor
rison s. Co., commission merchants, ia
South Water street. Mr.. and Mrs. Sum-
mers gave substantially the following facts:
"When Robbie was taken sick some
weeks ago we thought at first that it was
only an ordinary cold, but it proved to be
something much more severe. The pains
were evidently those of rheumatism. We
wrapped the boy in cotton and gave him
q number Of the remedies such as are
generally given. His agony was dreadful.
We had to hold him in the bed, his agony
was SO great. We had two physicians, who
did not succeed in making him any better.
The poor child's torture was so intense
that he asked for pistol, so that he might
put himself out of the way and thus end
his suferings. When he was at his worst
VIE thought of Katie Gill, who was well
known to us, and the medicine that
had cured her. We sent to Mr.. Gill's
to know the name of the medicine and
where to get it. They happened to have
some left in a bottle-Athlophoro the
name is--and they kindly sent it to us. It
is surely very strange and powerful
medicine, for it stopped the boys pain
very soon and very effectually. He took
but little of it, forthere was only enough
for about three doses in the bottle Mr..
Gill sent us. This was only few weeks
ago. The boy has had no return of rheu-
matism. You see him now as hearty and
as happy as an5 other boy"
