A PRIVATE LETTER.

Probably noman is better known or more high,
respected than Mr.. Julius S. Carr, President OF
the Blackwell,s Durham Tobacco Co, OF Durham.
n, c. In every tobacco store in the United
States. and in many foreign countries. Blaekwel's
Durham Tobacco Is sold. and 1t is weliknown
tact that the sales Of this Company largely eS-
eeed those OF any other tobacco manufacturer.
Thas such success has been obtained is Cue to tbs
snergy, integrity and ability OF Mr.. Carr, who
has so successfully managed the affairs OF tho
Company. Such letter as the following. writ
1en by Mr.. Carr to personal friend. whose only
interest in the matter referred to was a desire to
10 friendly act is certainly worthy of careful
reading.
DURHAM, n. c., Feb. =, 1885.
My DEAN "MAc." have delayed writing to
you. with reference 70 the Athlophoros remedy,
until could hear from a friend OF mine. gen
deman OF high character who used Athiophoros
at my suggestion with very great benefit He is
atobscco manufacturer Of high standing. Ihaye
waited to hear from him in order that might use
his name officially. am satisfied. however, that
he must be at the New Orleans Exposition, and
my letters have failed to reach him. So will
not delay answering your letter longer. You
want to know whether Athlophoros is rNslly as
SOOuSS you Thought when you 50 klttuil sent NE
couple bottles. Ihad sister who was victim
of neuralgia ana rheumatism. She suffered in
tensely, and her condition gave her family and
friends much concern. Every known remedy
was tried. but without effect When the bottles
you sent me came. sent one to my sister aud one
to nay sister in-law Ny sister was so encouraged
from the use of this one bottle that put her
upon thorough treatment of Athlephoros. 1

of gratitude for the relief the remedy has given
her. She has almost completely recovered from
rheumatism, so much so that she has stopped the
use of Athlophoros and considers herself well.
My sister-in-law, to whom gave the other bottle,
was suffering fearfully with neuralgia, she had
become unconscious from the paiu-the Athlo-
phores relieved her entirely. I gave a bottle of
Athlophoros to an intimate friend who suffered
such intense pain in his head that he looked il
his eyes would start from their sockets, and by
its use he has been greatly benefited, and tells
that he received such relief from it that he CT
ders it by the box and keeps it at all times in his
heuse-is neUer without it-can't afford to be- this
is the gentleman to whom / wrote. I wanted to
send NTH this his opinion in his own hsnd-writ-
ing, but as stated he must still be at New Or
leans. A very worthy colored man, a house car
penter, Jim Whitfield by name lives in the house
adjoining my man of all work" One morning
my man teld me that Jim was suffering in
tensey from rheumatism that the neighborhood
was disturbed day and night by his cries of aS-
ony. Wishing to test Athlophoros before my
own eyes genuine case of acute rheumatism,
wrote the Athlophoros Company stating Jim'S
condition, and offering, il they would send me
the remedy, to see that it had fair trial in his
case. confess with all my confidence il Athlo
phoros, l doubted whether it could help Jim, but
it was faithfully tried, and l think the proudeSt
man now in all this community is Jim Whitfield.
He claims TO be entirely relieved of all the rheu-
matiSn. and not only that, but he says the stiff
ness in his joints, which came with the rheuma-
tism, has all been removed. Within thirty hours
after he began to use AthlephoroS he felt like an
other person. These instances have all come I'M
der my personal knowledge. l am very slow to
speak of or recommend any medicine but when
a remedy has the virtue and the merit that be-
lieve Athlophoros has, cannot hesitate to rec
ommend it. l have given you dctS-don't they
answer your question fully. Yours truly.
J. C. CARR.
