THEHOTEL CLERKS STORY.


1t is the fashion among many so-called
humorists TO represent the American
hotel clerk as lordly and supercilious
being, who, with a headlight diamond
IN his immaculate shirt front and a look
of contemptuous disdain upon his clas-
sic features, sends tired and travel
stained arrivals off to impossible regions
in the titteenth story, or haughtily re-
fuses 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 depar lures of all trains on all
the railroads is at his tongues end; he
Is fun of information about what is in
teresilng at the theatres, and of stories
OF actors and actresses who have stop
PED at his hotel, and withal a kindly
man, who, If the house is crowded, will
let You sleep ON billiard table. Mr..
w. <. Hammond, who is a clerk at the
West End Hotel, sos and 505 West Mad.
lson street, Chicago, is of this obliging
disposition and is always ready to gave
any information regarding the hotel to
| those who seek it, The accomplished
landlady OF the West End has receHtly
suffered with rheumatism. The story
of her cure Is thus told by Clerk Ham
mond:
Our lsndlsdy was taken with quite
severe attack of rheumatism in the
lower limbs, suffering much pain and
being scarcely able To walk. She heard
of Athlophoros and of the cureJ il had
| effected, ana sent me te the drug store
/ 80 buy bottle of it. / got il, and in
| hdg an hours time after she had taken
the first dose she felt relieved, and in a
few days the rheumatism was entirely
! gore"
"How much did she takt?"
"About one bottle"
HAS she had any return Of the pain?'
mot 20 my knowledge" replied Mr..
Hammond, "and ana certain she would
be likely to say something about it il
she had. She speaks OF Athlophoros in
the highest terms and has recommend
cd 1t to many. In one case l remembe
the cure was as quick as in her own"
The accuracy of Clerk Hammond's
statements is fully confirmed by the
| landlady herself, who is not averse to
having it known how she was cured.
Il will tell you something about my
] cure, she said to visitor who called
to learn the facts in her case 81 was
so lame and suffered so much pain that
it was impossible for me TO bend nay
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 Athlophoros, was almost
immediate. In fact after taking few
doses / was well and have not been
troubled since. AT the same time that
| was suffering from the rheumatism,
there was lazy boarding in my hotel
who was suffering with facial neu-
ralgia so much that it was impossible
| fer 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, ana the
next thing / knew ! saw her rushing foI
street car to go up town My confidence in
Athlophoros cannot be shaken. find It posi-
! tive cure for nervous headache and shall always
keep some in the hotel as ! cannot afferd to suf
fer from rheumatism neuralgia or any such
trouble when l can get a medicine like Athlo
phor0s."
