THE HOTEL CLERKS STORY.


1t is the fashion among many So
called humorists to represent the Amer
lean hotel clerk as g. lordly and super
cilious being, who, with headlight
diamond In his immaculate shirt front
and look of contemptuous disdain
upon his classic features, sends tired
and travel-stained arrivals off to i'm
possible 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 civilization. The time of the ar
rivals and departures of all the trains
on all the railroads is at his tongues
end; he is full of information about
what Is interesting at the theaters,
and OF stories Of actors and actresses
who have stopped at his hotel, and
wlthal a kindly man, who, if the house
IS crowded, will let you sleep on q bill
lizard table. Mr.. w. P. Hammond,
who is clerk at the West End Hotel,
SOB and sos West Madison Street,
Chicago, is of this obliging disposition
and Is always ready to give any IN
who seek it. The accomplished land
lady Of the West End has recently sui
fered with rheumatism. The story Of
her cure is thus told by Clerk Ham
mond:
"Our landlady was taken with quite a
severe attack OF rheumatism in the lower
limbs, suffering much pain and being scarce
ly able to walk. She heard OF Athlophoros
and Of the cures it had effected, and sent
rae to the drug store to buy a bottle OF 1T.
[ got it. and in half an hours time after
she had taken the first dose she felt re-
heved, and in q few days the rheumatism
was entirely gore"
How much did she take?"
about one bottle"
HAS she had any return OF the pain? ?"
mot to my knowledge" replied Mr..
Hammond land / am certain she would
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 | remember the cure
was as quick as in her own"
The accuracy of Clerk Hammond's state
lnents is fully confirmed by the landlady
herself, who is not averse to having 1T
known how she was cured
81 will tell you something about my
cure, she said TO q visitor who called to
learn the facts in her case. 81 was so lame
and suffered SO much pain that it was i'm
possible for me to bend my limbs or walk
around my room without taking hold OF
the back Of a chair for support. Ny relief,
after taking the first dose OF Athlophoros,
was almost immediate. In fact, after tax
ing few doses | 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
Mas suffering with facial neuralgia SO much
that il 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 knew | saw her rush
! ing for a street-car to so up town. Ny con-
| 6dence in Athlophuros cannot be shaken
find it a positive cure for nervous head
ache and shall always keep some in the
hotel, as / cannot afford to suffer from
rheumatism, neuralgia, or any such trouble
while ! can get a medicine like Athlo-
| phoros."
