questions in comprehensive statesmanlike
way. as people bad right TO expect from
the Secretary of State. 1t was vastly be.
low Mr.. Evart's reputation as an orator.
It was adroit and plausible, but pitched
on low key and directed to u paltry parti-
san end. It was the effort of an attorney
and not the work of great orrtor or
statesman. And its total effect. so far as
it has any influence whatever, will be per-
nlclous In the fact that il appeals to a low
range OF motives and prejudices. and stirs
up sectional passions and animosities which

add that it is the general opinion of the

Certificate of q Prominent Citizen

DR.. HAMLIN:-When I 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 a time to my bed. The balance of the
time was compelled to crawl around upon
clutches. I 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 it's realities.
The first application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief in fifteen minutes, and dispeIled nv
doubts in twenty-four hours. used bottle
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 a cord of wood as quick as any man in
Adrian. Some of my friends at first thought
such sudden cure would kill me, but wanted
a change, though it should be death.

using Wizard Oil, could reach around nay

any for two months. / now feel as well as
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty-five
pounds in flesh. But must tell you it seems
almost like a dream. You can refer to me as
often as you wish, and hundreds of the citi-
zens of Adrian will testify to the truth of
my statements.
