it is to delude poor sufferer into the bel1ef
 tn t some worthless liniment will cure rheu-
 matism and neuralgia. Honesty is the best
 policy in the manufacture of proprietary ar
 ticles as in all other matters, and the fact
 that the proprietors of Athlophoros have
 never claimed for it even all it's merit would
 warrant has not a little to do with it's won
 derful popularity, and the thousands Of
 grateful testimonials received by them show that their policy has been wise Gs well as right.
 Experience has amply demonstrated that mere outward applications are worthless. The disease has it's seat in the blood, and any remedy to be successful must deal with the obstructive acid which poisons and in- flames it.
 Athlophoros acts on the blood, muscles and joints directly. It takes the poison out of the blood and carries it out of the system; it inyieorates the action of the muscles and
 imbers the stiffness of the joints. It reach es the liver and kidneys, cleansing them
 from irritating substances, and, if followed up after the rheumatic conditions cease, IL
 will restore these organs to regularity and health.

Jay Could and Other Rig Capitalists
 Going Into the New Management
 NEW YORK, Dec. 0.-A report to the effect that Jay Gould would be elected president of the New York and New England railroad to succeed President Clark produced sensa- tion in Wall street to-day. Big New York capitalists are certainly going into the new management. A broker identified with the Field-Gould interest said to reporter to day that while he was not certain that Gould would be the new presiden of the New Eng land, it was his opinion that the Field Gould interest would turn up in control of the road at the coming election.
 An important conference was held this evening in Russell Sage's office regarding the election in Boston next Tuesday of New York and New England railway directors. A sim liar meeting was held in this city yesterday afternoon at which Colonel Jonas A. French of Boston, who represents in that city the opposition to the Clarke Higginson manage ment, was present. Colonel French sent a representative to to-day's con- ference, it is believed, because Presi- den Clark had been summoned from Boston and was present. Among the other gentlemen who were at the meeting were J. A. Bostwick, H. Victor Newcomb and Elijah Smith. The presence of Mir. Clark at this meeting gave rise to the belief that an effort was making by the large Boston and New York holders of the New England stock to agree upon a directors ticket that would make the board much stronger than it is now and at the same time make it possible for Mr. Clark to retain the presidency.
