The Oeath-rate Of

Our country is getting TO be feerfuly
alarming, the average OF life being lessen
ed every year, without any reasonable
cause, death resulting generally from the
most insignificant origin. At this season
of the year especially, cold is such a
common thing that in the hurry Of every
day life we are apt to overlook the dangers
attending it and often find too late, that a
Fever or Lung trouble has already set in.
Thousands lose their lives in this way
every winter, while had BoSchee'S German
Syrup been taken, cure would have re-
suited, and large bill from a Doctor been
avoided For all diseases of the Throat
and Lungs. BoSchee's German Syrup has
proven itself to be the greatest discovery
of it's kind in medicine. Every Druggist
in this country will tell you of it's wonder
ful effect. Over $4,000 bottles sold last
year without single failure known.

A WONDERFUL MEDICINE
Certificate of a Prominent Citizen
of Adrian, Mich, who had not
Walked without Clutches for
two years. He threw them away
in "a Hours after the first ap-
plicati0n of Wizard Oil.

DR.. HAMLIN:-When | met your agent
here, in September, had been two years suf-
fering severelywith Rheumatism, half of that
time confined to the house, and three months
at time to my bed. The balance of the
time was compelled to crawl around upon
clutches. l used medicines without number,
including large quantity Of morphine, all of
which proved worse than useless. AS to what
| suffered, the English language cannot tell
it to any one who has not tried its realities.
The first application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief in fifteen minutes, and dispelled my
doubts in twenty-four hours. l used bottle
a day for ten days. The next morning after
the use of the first bottle,
left my Clutches at home and
walked down town without them
for the first time in two years.
Since thenI have not used them, and can now
split cord of wood as quick as any man in
Adrian. Some of my friends at first thought
sucha sudden cure would kill me, but wanted
change, though it should be death.
That all who read this may know how I
have been, | will say, when l commenced
using Wizard Oil, [ could reach around nv
leg above the knee with one hand.
L was reduced to a mere sl1e,e-
ton, and most of the time
when L moved upon
clutches, or tried to stand
without them, L could not raise
either foot from the floor.
used fifteen bottles in all, but have NOT nee,
any for two months. I now feel as we'll a
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty-fv
pounds in flesh. But l must tell you it seem
almost like a dream. You can refer to me a
often as you wish, and hundreds of the citi
zens Of Adrian will testify to the truth o
my statements.
