AN OLD PREJUDICE DISAPPEARING.

Women doctors are 60 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 $20,000 and over, and a practice worth $5,000 a 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 M. Barnes, of Danville, who recently moved to that city from Lafayette, Ind. She has recently had herself as a patient, and how 6he was successful in working a cure she tells as follows; “I had a very stubborn case of sciatica and had been confined to my bed for three weeks. I had blistered the limb and used all kinds of liniments to no purpose. Rev. Dr. Buchtel told me of the wonderful remedy, Athlophoros. Our druggist sent for it and I bought two bottles of it. Before I had taken three doses I was able to get out of bed and sit up for two hours. In three days I went down the street. I believe that had I persevered with the remedy the cure would have been permanent. However, I have never been such a sufferer since. I keep Athlophoros in my office and often tell patients of the great relief it gave me, and recommendit.” E; K. Mercer, proprietor of the Princeton (Ill.) Tribune, says of Athlophoros: “It is a good medicine and did me more good than did half a dozen doctors.” Mr. John H. Hutsel, proprietor of the West Side Pavilion, No. 678 West Indiana street, Chicago, who had been a victim of rheumatism, says: “I never had a severe case of sickness before this rheumatism came on me, and I would just remark right here that I never want another such. When it first made its appearance I consulted a physician, but his medicine made me worse. I then went to St. Joseph’s Hospital. After being there some time and getting no relief, I went back home. After being at home a few days, I heard about Athlophoros and decided to try it myself. I came from the hospital on the 3d of July. Two days after that I was unable to walk or sleep at night. I was in this condition when I commenced with the Athlophoros on the 7th inst ~ and by the 15th of the month I was well. You can 6ee by my book, I have an exact record of the dates of the time I commenced using and when I was well.” “How long were you' sick, Mr. Hutsel?” “For five weeks I was confined to my bed, during which time I lost twenty-three pounds of flesh.” “How much did you use to effect this cure?*

“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 Athlophoros?” “Yes; the lady that recommended it to me said she. knew of an old chronic case of twenty years’ standing that had been cured by the use of Athlophoros. I have had many persons that knew how I had been afflicted and suffered inquire what cured me. lam always glad to be able to say that Athlophoros is the sovereign remedy for rheumatism.” If you cannot get Athlophoros of your druggist, we will send it express paid, on receipt of regular price—one dollar per bottle. Wo prefer that you buy it of your druggist, but if he hasn’t it, do" not bo persuaded to try something olse, but order at once from us as directed. Athlophoros Co., 112 Wall street, New York.
