OLD NAMES AND NEW PLACES.

The wisdom of the policy of giving clas
steal names to American towns and coun-
ties may well be questioned when one sees
the anomalies of expression to which they
give rise. Thus, New York State, which
has most sinned in this respect, has such
absurd names for towns, as North Hector,
South Homer, East Romulus and many
other similar ones, for which there can be
no defense. Exactly what part of the body
OF Homer South Homer is, would puzzle
an antiquary to say, and it would be
equally difficult to assign parts of the COM
pass to the persons of Hector, Romulus,
Ovid, Virgil, Ulysses, Scipio and other
worthless whose names are scattered with q
lavish hand all through Central and West
ern New York.
The West has not offended so much
against good taste, and it is therefore hard
to see why the name of portion of Asia
Minor, Ionia, should have been transferred
TO the interior of Michigan. It's a very
pretty name, however, and Ionia is q very
pretty town. The people are progressive,
II not particularly like the ancient Ionians,
and it is therefore only natural that they
should appreciate the good points of Ath-
!ophoros as a remedy for rheumatism and
neuralgia. ii. Van Allen d Co., drug
gists, says of its success in Ionia:
We have handled the medicine for
two years and hear only good reports from
1T. A section boss on one of the railroads
here, who, being exposed to all kinds of
weather, has long been troubled with rheu-
matte difficulties, now thinks himself per-
manently cured by using Athlophoros. A
lady, Mrs. L., Of this city, has also re-
ceived great benefit after using three bot
ties of the medicine"
Taylor d Cutler, who arc also druggists
in Ionia, say:
We introduced Athlophoros in this
town and have had good trade on il from
the start, with sales Increasing We have
heard good reports from it and accept the
fact of its increasing sale as evidence that
1t is giving satisfaction"
II was severely afflicted with rheuma-
tlsm for number of years." says j. III.
Williams, of Hobart. "About year ago
friend who had lot Of Athlophoros in
the house induced me to take and try it.
After taking two-thirds Of the medicine L
stopped because of the sensation in my
head, but have not been troubled with
rheumatism since"
DIR. l.. j. Kimball, of Norway, Mich SAYS:
IL recommended Athlophoros in the
case Of Mrs. A., who has suffered with
rheumatism several years. Before she had
taken half bottle she was entirely free
from pain, and dose now and then en-
tirely relieved her. Mrs. b. was induced to
try bottle with similar results. After
Mr.. +. had tried every known remedy for
rheumatism two bottles of Athlophoros en-
abled him to pursue his occupation. can
most chcerfully recommend the medicine
for rheumatism"
Says DIR. II. S. Armstrong, of Chelsea.
Mich.
In eighteen years experience in the
drug business / have had no remedy for
rheumatism which gives such general sat-
isfaction as Athlophoros."
"Athlophoros gives perfect satisfaction
Dullam Brothers, of Flint, say. at has
helped and cured in some cases where all
other remedies have failed to do any
good"
