The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1885-11-19

It IL the fashion among many so-called
humorists TO represent the American hotel
clerk as lordly and supercilious being, who,
with headlight diamond in his immaculate
shirt front and look Of contemptuous dis
dain upon his classic features, sends tired
and travel stained arrivals of to impossible
regions in the fifteenth story, or haughtily
refuses them any lodging whatever.
The fact is that the true American hotel
clerk is an invaluable feature of our civil
ization. The time Of the arrivals and de-
partures of all the trains on all the rail-
roads is at his tongues end; he is full of
information about what is interesting at the
theaters, and of stories of actors and ac-
tresses who have stopped at his hotel. and
withal kindly man, who, if the house is
crowded, will let you sleep on billiard
table. Mr.. w. p. Hammond, who is clerk
at the West End Hotel, 500 and 500 West
Madison street, Chicago, is of this obliging
disposition and is always ready to give any
information regarding the hotel to those
who seek it. The accomplished landlady
of the West End has recently suffered with
rheumatism. The story of her cure is thus
told by Clerk Hammond:
sour landlady was taken with quite a
severe attack of rheumatism in the lower
limbs, suffering much pain and being
scarcely able to walk. She heard of Ath-
lophoros and of the cures it had effected,
and sent me to the drug store to buy bottle
of it. 1 got it, and in half an hours time
after she had taken the first dose she felt
relieved, and in a few days the rheumatism
was entirely gone"
"How much did she take?"
about one bottle"
"Has she had any return of the pain?"
"Not to my knowledge" replied Mr..
Hammond, "and am certain she would be
likely to say something about it if she had.
She speaks of Athlophoros in the highest
terms, and has recommended it to many.
In one case L remember the cure was as
quick as In her own"
The accuracy of Clerk Hammonds state
ments is fully confirmed by the landlady
herself, who is not averse to having it
known how she was cured.
II will tell you something about my
cure" she said to visitor who called to
learn the facts in her case. II was SO
lame and suffered SO much pain that it was
impossible for me TO bend my limbs or
walk around my room without taking hold
of the back of chair for support. My
relief, after taking the first dose of Athlo-
phoros, was almost immediate. In fact,
after taking few doses 1 was well and
have not been troubled since. At the
same time that was suffering from the
rheumatism, there was a lady boarding in
my hotel who was suffering with facial
neuralgia so much that it was impossible
for her to sit up. advised her to try my
remedy that being the name / have for
Athlophoros. After she had taken two
doses of it she was well, and the next thing
l knew l saw her rushing for street-car
to go up town. My confidence in Athlo-
phoros cannot be shaken. / find it posi-
tive cure for nervous headache and shall
always keep some in the hotel, as L cannot
afford to suffer from rheumatism, neuralgia,
or any such trouble while / can get medi-
cine like Athlophoros."
