AN OLD PREJUDICE DISAPPEARING.

Women doctors are so numerous now
that the prejudice against them has long
since died out. There are several in the
United States, it is said, who enjoy an
annual income of $40, 900 and over, and a
practice worth $4,000 q year is common.
They have reached their present honorable
position by hard and conscientious work,
and all they receive is well earned. Medical
colleges for women are now established in
all the large cities and the graduates from
them number several hundred every year.
Among the women doctors of Illinois is
Miss Addie NJ. Barnes, OF Danville, who re-
Gently moved to that city from Lafayette,
Ind. She has recently had herself as a
patient, and how she was successful in
working a cure she tells as follows:
II had a very stubborn case OF sciatica
and had been confined to my bed for three
weeks. had blistcred the limb and used
all kinds OF liniments to no purpose. Rev.
DR.. Buchtel told me OF the wonderful rene
dy, Athlophoros. Our druggist sent for it
and l bought two bottles Of it. Before I
had taken three doses l was able to get out
| of bed and sit up for two hours. In three
days 1 went down the street. Ibelievethat
had l p~ersevered with the remedy the cure
would have been permanent. However, I
have never been such q sufferer since. I
keep A~thlophoros in. my office and often
tell patients of the great relief it gave me,
and recommend it."
f. K. Mercer, proprietor of the Princeton
(1ll.) Tribune, says OF Athlophoros:
ut is q good medicine and did me more
good than did half a dozen DOCTORS"
Mr.. John H. Hutsel, proprietor OF the
West Side Pavilion, No. 67S West Indiana
street, Chicago. who had been q victim Of
rheumatism, says:
~ never had q severe case of sickness be-
fore this rheumatism came on me and !
would Just remark right here that l never
appearance l consulted q physician, buthis
medicine made me worse. l then went to
st. Joseph's Hospital. After being there
some time and getting no relief l went back
home. After being at homea few days I
heard about Athlophoros and decided to
try it myself. J came from the hospital on
the Sd of July. Two days after that / was
unable to walk or sleep at night. I was in
this condition when I commenced with the
At%hlophoros on the 7th inst, and by the
18th OF the month I was well. You can see
by my book, I have an exact record OF the
dates of the time l commenced using and
| when l was we'll"
"How long were you sick, Mr.. Hutsel?"
"For five weeks l was confined to my bed,
during which time I lost twenty-three
pounds OF ffesh."
"How much did you use to effect this
cure2"
1.-TWO bottles did the work and I have
not felt any pain or return of the disease
%since.'
"Have you known OF any others that
have used A~thlophoros?"
ayes; the lady that recommended it to
me said she knew OF an old chronic case Of
twenty years. standing that had been cured
by tie use of Athlophoros. I nave had
many persons that knew how I had been
afflicted and suffered inquire what cured me.
I am always glad to be able to say that
| Athlcphoros is the sovereign remedy for
rheumatism"
