Among the beautiful b,i,d;nys Of X,

Among the beautiful buildings of Kala-
nnazoo, Michigan, none are more eonspicu-
Gus than the new Presbyterian Church,
which is now rapidly approaching COM
pletlon. 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 +. Hunting, one of the most
genial and popular men among the min
listers of the West.
Recently gentleman was in Kalama-
zoo Emaking some inquiries concerning
rheumatism and its remedy. Calling ON
the druggists of Kalamazoo, he found that
they all spoke In the highest terms of
Athlephoros as remedy of extraordinary
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. Tothe parsonage therefore, he wended
hisway, and found Mr.. Hunting, notify any

her rheumatism, which had been of long
standing. On the strength of that / bought
bottle of this new remedy. A few doses

much good that have confidence In the

Calling at the home Of Mr.. Rice,
1882 South Burdick street, and asking as
to his rheumatism and its relief, Mr..
Rice said substantially as follows:

which is that of carpenter and builder,
and in fair weather am always ready for
work. need continued exercise and am
ready to take it, except when the weather
is too rough"
"Mr. Rice, how did you happen first to
take Athlophoros?"
"Well, I just happened to see it adver-
tised. l read what it had done for other
people and thought there might be some
thing in it for me. When first saw it /
thought wouldn't buy it, for the bottle
looked so small that thought there was
very little in it for the money. had used
great many other medicines and they
were all in bigger bottles"
"But all that time you were paying
good deal for glass and water, were you
not, Mr.. Rice ??
"Well, perhaps / was. We won't dis
cuss that, but Pm satisfied that this Ath-
what is it you call it's the medicine for
me. Understand me; / don't believe you
can entirely take away all traces of rheu-
matism out of an old man like me; you
can't make me young man again at my
time of life. But this medicine took the
pain away, and that was what the other
medicines couldn't do
