A PRIVATE. LETTER.

Probably no man is better known or more highly respected than MT. Julian s. Carr. President of the Blackwelps Dur ham Tobacco O., of Durham, N. c. In every tobacco store in the United States, and in many foreign countries, Blackwelrs 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, inte&- rity and ability of MT. Carr, who has so successfully managed tho affairs of the Company. Such letter as the following, written by Mir. Carr to a personal friend whose only interest in the matter referred to was desire to do friendly act, is cer- tainly worthy of careful reading. s
 Durham, N. C., Feb. 25, 1885.
 My Dear "Mac":-I have delayed writing to you, with reference to the Ath- lophoros remedy, until I could hear from a friend of mine, gentleman of high suggestion with very great benefit. He is a tobacco manufacturer of high standing. I 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 I will not delay answering your letter longer. You want to know whether Athlophoros is really as good as you thought when you so kindly sent me couple bottles. I had sister who was a 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 I put her upon thorough treatment of Athlophoros. I 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 we'll. My sister-in-law, to whom l gave the other bottle, was suffering fearfully with neuralgia, she had become unconsciousfrom the pain-the Athlophoros relieved her entirely. l gave bottle of Athlophoros to an intimate friend who suffered such in- tense pain in his head that he looked as if his eyes would start from their sockets, and by its use he has been greatly benefited, and tells me that he received such relief from 1t that he orders 1t by the box and keeps it at all timesin his house is neoer without it-can't afford to be, this Is the gentleman to whom 1 wrote. 1 wanted to send with this his opinion in his own handwriting, but as I stated he must still be at New Orleans. A very worthy colored man, house carpenter, Jim Whitted 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 en a 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 it had fair trial in his case. a I 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 Whitted. 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. I am very slow to speak of or recommend any medicine, but when remedy has the virtue and the merit thatsI believe Athlophoros has, I cannot hesitate to recommend it,. have given you facts-don't they answer your question fully? Yours truly, J. s. CARR.
