A PRIVATE LETTER.


Probably no man is better known or
more highly respected than Mr.. Julian s.
Carr, President of the BlackwelPs Dur
ham Tobacco Co., of Durham, N. @. In
every tobacco store in the United States,
and In many foreign countries, BIackwelPs
Durham Tobacco is sold, and it is we'll
known fact that the sales Of this Company
largely exceed those of any other tobacco
manufacturer. That such success has
been obtained Is due to the energy, integ-
rity and ability of MIR. Carr, who has SO
successfully managed the affairs of the
Company. Such letter as the following,
written by Mr.. Carr to personal friend
whose only interest in the matter referred
to was desire to do friendly act, is GER
tainly worthy of careful reading.
Durham, N. c., Feb. 25, 1885.
My Dear "Mac" 81 have delayed
writing to you, with reference to the Ath-
lophoros remedy, until I could hear from
friend of mine, gentleman of high
character, who used Athlophoros at my
suggestion with very great benefit. He is
tobacco manufacturer of high standing.
/ have waited to hear from him in order
that / might use his name officially. lam
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
really as good as you thought when you 80
kindly sent me a couple bottles. / had
sister who was q victim of neuralgia and
rheumatism. She suffered intensely, 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 and one to my sister-in-law.
My sister was so encouraged from the use
of this one bottle that / put her upon a
thorough treatment of Athlophoros. /
certainly owe you and Athlophoros
great debt 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 l gave the
other bottle, was suffering fearfully with
neuralgia, she had become unconsciousfro
the pain-the Athlophoros relieved her
entirely. ] gave bottle of Athlophoros
to an intimate friend who suffered such in
tense pain in his head that he looked as if
and by its use he has been greatly
benefited, and tells me that he received
such relief from it that he orders it by the
box and keeps it at all timesin his house
is neUer without it--can't afford to be, this
is the gentleman to whom I wrote I
wanted to send with this his opinion in
his own handwriting, but as | stated he
must still be at New Orleans. A very
worthy colored man, house carpenter,
Jim Whitfield by name, lives in the house
adjoining "my man of all work"
One morning my man told me that Jim
was suffering SO intensely from rheuma-
tism that the neighborhood was disturbed
day and night by his cries of agony.
Wishing to test Athlophoros before my
own eyes on genuine case of acute rheu-
matism, wrote the Athlophoros Com
pany stating Jim's condition, and offering,
If they would send me the remedy, to see
that il had fair trial in his case. [ con-
fess, with all my confidence in Athlo-
phoros, doubted whether it could help
Jim, but it was faithfully tried and I
think the proudest man now in all this
community is Jim Whitfield. He claims
to be entirely relieved of all his rheuma-
tism and not only that, but he says the
stiffness in his joints, which came with the
rheumatism, has all been removed.
Within thirty hours after he began to
use Athlophoros, he felt like another per-
son. These instances have all come under
my personal knowledge. am very slow
to speak of or recommend any medicine,
but when remedy has the virtue and the
merit that believe Athlophoros has, I
cannot hesitate to recommend it. / have
given you facts-don't they answer your
question fully? Yours truly, Us. CARR
IL you cannot get ATHLoPHoRos of your drug
gist we will send it express paid, ON receipt OF
regular price-One dollar per bottle. We prefer
that you buy IL from your druggist, but Il he
hasn't it, do not be persuaded TO try something
elSe but order at once from u.s. as direcfEa.
