Walked without Clutches for
two years. He threw them away
in "a Hours after the first ap-
pIfcation of Wizard Oil.
DIR. HAMLIN:-When I met your agent
here, in September, had been two years suf-
fering severely with Rheumatism, half of that
time confined to the house, and three months
at a time to my bed. The balance of the
time was compelled to crawl around upon
crutches. I used medicines without number,
including large quantity of morphine, all of
which proved worse than useless. AS to what
1 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-fo 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 i'm 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 ]
have been, I will say, when I commenced
using Wizard Oil, could reach around my
| leg above the knee with one hand.
L was reduced to a mere skele.
ton, and most of the time
when I moved upon
crutches, or tried to stand
without them, / could not raise
either foot fr0nn the floor.
l used fifteen bottles in all, but have not usec
| any for two months. l now feel as we'll a:
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty five
pounds IN flesh. But must tell you it seem:
almost like a dream. You can refer to me a,
often as you wish, and hundreds of the citi
Eens of Adrian viii testify to the truth o.
| my statements.
