A SURPRISING CHANGE.

a SuaShlolNG ShhNUL'
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 leaves ordinary street
lamps where dingy tallow dips used to be.
The new lights are on light lattice work
towers, l25 to 100 feet high, shedding
radiance which is like intensified NOON
light. The effect of this when the city is
covered with its white robe of snow, is
strangely beautiful.
A 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 rs victor over this old enemy of
the human race. Calling ON Mr.. X. 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.
"My wife," said Mr.. Watson, 'was suf-
tring terribly from rheumatism her pains
we're 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-
lure the torment of being moved. | pro-

effect on my wife was as surprising rs
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 saving how highly we esteem it,
Visiting nearly all the leading drug
cores 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 ota complete cure.
At Fri2clles, on Michigan Avenue, one of
the clerks had taken it 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. NJ. Cohen tried A,hlophoros,
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 in the latter city Athlophoros has
also accomplished some wonderful results.
In Chicago, at 905 West Twelfth street,
lives, M. William w. Summers, of
the well-Snown firm Of Summers, Nor
