A SURPRISING CHANGE.

With its broad streets and majestic sveduea adorned'with stately buildings, Detroit is one of the mos’ 1 magnificent cities on this continent. Its new system of eieqtrlo lighting throws into obscurity all the old methods, and tenses ordinary street lamps where dingy tallowdips used to be. The new lighth are on ligh t lattice-work towers, 125 to 150 feet high, shedding a radiance which is like intensified moonlight. The effect of this when the city is covered with its white robe of snow, is strangely beautiful.' A gentleman recently spent a day or two in Detroit, pushing his researches to some extent m the direction of finding out as to the new method of curing rheumatism by means of Athlophoros, the remedy which in the last year or two has attained such favor as a victor over this old enemy of the human race. Calling on Mr. B. B. Watson, the wellknown Superintendent of the American District Telegraph Company, he found that gentleman cheerfully ready to say all the pleasant things he could say about Athlophoros. “My wife, ” said Mr. Watson, “was suffering terribly from rheumatism; her pains were both in joints and muscles. So excruciating were her agonies when she moved, that sometimes on assuming one position in the morning she would remain in that position all day rather than endure the torment of being moved. I procured a bottle of- Athlophoros, and the effect on my wife was as surprising as it was gratifying. We had no idea that any medicine could so speedily remove such an obstinate disease. She was soon cured, and the cure was complete. Since that she has had no return of the disorder. We speak freely among our friends of the good work of Athlophoros, and have no hesitation in saying how highly we esteem it.” Visiting nearly all the leading drug stores in the city, it was found that all who had kept Athlophoros had received from their customers marked commendation of its efficacy. One lady had taken six bottles of it, with the result of a complete cure. At Frizelle’s, on Michigan avenue, one of the clerks had taken it with excellent effect. This young man, Mr. Cohen, had suffered greatly with rheumatism. Though surrounded by medicines of every description, they did not reach his case. Mr. Cohen tried Athlophoros, and found that it did for him what nothing else had been able to do. From Detroit to Chicago is but a day’s ride, and in the latter city Athlophoros has also accomplished some wonderful results. In Chicago, at I’os West Twelfth street, lives Mr. William W. Summers, of the wellknown firm pt’ Summers, Morrison & Ca, ' commission merchants, 174 South Water streets. Mr. and Mrs. Summers gave substantially the following facts: “ When Bobbie was taken sick some weeks ago we thought at first that it was only an ordinary cold, but it proved to be something much more severe. The pains were evidently those of rheumatism. We wrapped the boy in cotton and gave him a number of the remedies such as are generally given. His agony was dreadful. We had to hold him in the bed, his agony was so great. We had two physicians, who did not succeed in making him any better. The poor child’s torture was so intense that he asked for a pistol. So that he might put himself out of the way and thus end his sufferings. When he was at his worst we thought of Katie GUI, who was well known to us, and the medicine that had cured her. .We sent to Mr. Gill’s to know the name of the medicine and where to get it. They happened to have some left in a bottle—Athlophoros the name is—and they kindly sent it to us. It is surely a very strange and powerful medicine, for it stopped the boy’s pain very soon and very effectually. He took but a little of it, for there was orrty enough for about three doses in the bottle Mr. Gill sent us. This was only a few weeks ago. The boy has had no return of rheumatism. Ycu see him now as hearty and as happy as any other boy.” 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 Ca. 112 Wall street. New York.
