Rensselaer Republican, Volume 17, Number 31, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 April 1885 — A PRIVATE LETTER. [ARTICLE]

A PRIVATE LETTER.

Probably no man la better known or more highly respected than Mr. Julian S. Carr, President of the Blackwell’s Durham Tobacco Co., of Durham, N. C. In every tobacco Store in the United States, and in many foreign countr4es, Blackwell’a 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. My Dear “Mac:” I have delayed writing to you. with reference to the Atniophoros remedy, until I could hear from a friend of mine, a gentleman of high character, who used Athlophoros at my suggestion with very great benefit. He is a tobacco manufacturer of high standing. 1 have waited to hear from him in order that 1 might use h.'s name officially. lam satisfied, however, that he must be at the New Orleans Exposition, and my letters have failsd to reach him. So I will not delay answering your letter longer. You want to know whether Athlophoros is really as good as you thought when you so kindly sent me a couple bottles. I had a sister who was a victim of neuralgia and rheumatism. She suffered intensely, and her condition 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 sister was so encouraged from the use of this one bottle that I put her upon a thorough treatment of Athlophoros. I certainly owe you and Athlophoros a great debt of gratitude. for the relief the remedy has given her. She has almost completely recovered from rheumatism, so much so that she has stopped the use of Athlophoros and considers herself well. My sister-in-law, to whom I gave the other bottle, was suffering fearfully with neuralgia, she had become unconscious from the pain—the Athlophoros relieved her entirely. I gave a bottle of Athlophoros 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 house adjoining' “my man of all work.” One morning my man told me that Jim was Buffering eo intensely from rheumatism that the neighborhood was disturbed day and night by his cries of agony. Wishing to test Athlophoros before my own eyes on a genuine case of acute rheumatism, I wrote the Athlophoros Company stating Jim’s condition, and offering, if they would send me the remedy, to see that it had a fair trial in his case. I confess, with all my confidence in Athlophoros, I doubted whether it could help Jim, but it was faithfully tried, 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 he says the stiffness in his joints, which came with the rheumatism, has all been removed. Within thirty hours after he began to use Athlophoros hc felt like another person. These instances have all come under my personal knowledge. I am very slow to speak of or recommend any medicine, but when a remedy has the virtue and the merit that I believe Athlophoros has, I cannot hesitate to recommend it. I have given you act* —don’t they answer your question fully? Yours truly, J. 8. Carr. If you cannot get Athlophoros 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. Athlophoros Co. 112 Wall street. New York.
