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 OBJ
security 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
125 to 80 feet high, shedding radiance which is
like intensified moonlight. The effect of this
vixen the city is covered with its white robe of
snow, is strangely beautiful.

among our friends of the good work of Atho-

Visiting nearly all the leading drug stores in
the city. it was found that all who had kept AthIo

taken six bottles of it, with the result of com

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. Mr.. Cohen tried Athlophoros
and found that it did for him what nothing else
had been able to do.
