H HOTEL CLERKS STORY.

THE HOTEL CLERKS STORY. !
1t ID the fashion among many so-called
humorists to represent the American hotel
clerk as n lordly and s,npercilious being,
who, with a headlight diamond in his inn
maculate shirt front and q look of con-
temptuous disdain upon his classic feat.
ures, sends tired and travel-stained arrivals
off to impossible regions in the fifteenth
story, or haughtHy refuses them any lodg-
ing whatever.
The fact is that the true American hotel
clerk is an invaluable feature OF our civili-
.ation. The time of the arrivals and de- |
p~artures OF oil the trains or all the rail !
roads is at his tongues end; he is full OF in- |
;ornation about what is interesting at the |
:heaters, and Of stories of actors and act
esscs who have stopped at his hotel; and
Eithal a kind OF man, who, if the house is
crowded, will let you sleep on a billiard
table. Mr.. w. P. Hammond, who is the
:lcrk at the West End Hotel, 500 and sos
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
andlady OF the West End has recently suf-
ered with rheumatism. Tho story OF her
cure is thus told by clerk Hammond:
"Our landlady was taken with quite q
,evere attack Of rheumatism in the lower
limbs, suffering much pain and being
scarcely able to walk. She heard OF Athlo-
ohoros and OF the cures it had effected, and
sent me to the drug store to buy q bottle
Of it. / got it, and in half an hours time
after she had taken the first dose she felt
relieved, and in IL few days the rheumatism
was entirely gone"
"How much did she take?"
about one bottle"
"Has she had any return of the pain?"
mot to my knowledge" replied Mr..
be likely to say something about it ii she
had. She speaks of Athlophoros in the
! highest terms, and has recommended it to
many. In one case I remember the cure
was as quick as in her own"
The accuracy of clerk Iammond's 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 q visitor who called to
learn the facts in her case. II was so lame
and suffered SO much pain that it was i'm
possible I me to bend my limbs or walk
around my room without taking hold OF
the back OF a chair for support. My relief,
after taking the first dose OF A~thlophoros,
was almost immediate. In fact, after talk
ing u few doses l was well and have not
been troublcd since. At the sametimctha
l was suffering from the rheumatism. there
was q lady boarding in my hotel who wa
suffering with facial neuralgia somuchthat
it was impossible for her to sit up. ad
viscd her to try my remedy that being
the name 1 have for At%hlophoros. After
she had taken two doses OF it she was well
and the next thing 1 knew l saw her rush
ing for a street car to gouptown. Mycon
Gdencc in Athlophoros can not be shaken
l find it n positive cure for nervous head
ache and shall always keep some in tn
hotel, as I can not afford to suffer iron
rheumatism, neuralgia or any such troubl
whileI can get q medicine like Athlophoros.
If you can not get ArHLopHORos Of you
druggist, we will send it express paid, on II
ceipt OF regular price-one dollar per bottl
We prefer that you buy it from your drllggiS
but ii he hasn't it, do not be persuaded to II
something else, but order ut once from us. Q
