A PRIVATE LETTER.

Probably no man ifi better known or more highly respected than Mr. Julian 8. Carr, President of the Blackwell’s Durham Tobacco Co., of Durham, N. C. In every tobacco store in the United States. and tn many foreign countries, Blackwell’s Durham Tobacco is sold, and it is a well-known fact that the sales of this Company largely exceed those of any other tobacco manufacturer. That such success has been obtained is due to the energy, integrity and ability of Mr. Carr, who has so successfully managed the affairs of the Company. Such a letter as the following, written by Mr. Carr to a personal friend, whose only interest in the matter referred to was a desire to do a friendly act, is certainly worthy of careful reading. Durham, N. C., Feb. 25, 1885. Mr Dxab “Mac:” I have delayed writing to you, with reference to the Athiophoros remedy, until I could hear from a friend of mine, a gentleman of high character, who used Athiophoros at my suggestion with very great benefit. He is a tobacco manufacturer -of high standing. I have waited to hear from him in order-that 1 might use his name officially. I ain satisfied, however, that he must be at the New Orleans Exposition, and my letters have failed to reach him. So I will not delay answering your letter longer. You want to know whether Athiophoros is really as good as you thought when you so kindly sent me a couple bottles. I had a sister who" 1 Was a victim of neuralgia and rheumatism- She suffered intensely, and her gave her family and friends much concern, Every known remedy’ was tried, but' without effect. When the bottles you sent me came,*. I sent one to my sister and one' to my Sister-in-law. My Bister was-So encouraged from the use of this one bottle that I put her upon a thorough treatment of Athiophoros. I certainly, owe you and Athiophoros a great debt of gratitude for the rc lef.'.the remedy has given her. She has almost completely recovered from rheumatism, so much,so that she has stopped the use of Athiophoros and considers herself well. My sister-in-law, to vthom I gave thq other bottle, was suffering fearfully with neuralgia, she had become unconscious from the pain—the Athiophoros relieved her entirely. I gave a bottle of Athiophoros to an ’ intimate friend who suffered such intense pain in his head that he looked as if his eyes would start from their sockets, and by its use he has been greatly benefited, and tells me that he received such relief from it that he orders it by the box and keeps it at all -times in his house—is never without it—can’t' afford to be, this is the gentleman to whom. I wrote. I wanted to send’with this his opinion in his own handwriting, but as I stated, he must still be at New .Orleans. A very worthy colored man, a house carpenter, Jim Whitted by name, lives in the hou&e adjoining “my man of all work.” One morning my man told mo that .Tim was Buffering so Intensely from rheumatism that the neighborhood was disturbed day and night by his cries of agony. Wishing to test Athiophoros before my own eyos on a genuine case of acute rheumatism, I wrote the Athiophoros Company stating Jim’s condition, and offerin?-, if they would send me the remedy, to see that it had a fair trial in his ease. I coulees, with all my confidence in Athiophoros, I doubt?d whether it could help Jim, but it was faithfully trPd, and I think the proudest man now in all this community is Jim Whitted. He claims to be entirely relieved of all his rheumatism, and not only that, but ho says the stiffness in his joints, which came with the rheumatism, has •11 been removed. Within thirty hours after he began to use Athiophoros he felt like another person. These instances have all come under my personal knowledge. I am very Blow to speak of or recommend any medicine, but when a remedy has the virtue and the merit that I believe Athiophoros has, I cannot hesitate to recommend it. I have given you acts— don’t they answer your question fully? Yours ttuly, J. 8. Carr. If you cannot get Athlophobos of your druggist we will send it, express paid, on receipt of regular price—one dollar per bottle. We prefer that you buy it from your druggist, but if he hasn't it do not be persuaded to try something else, but order at once from us, as directed. Athlophobos Co. 112 Wall street. New York.
