A WONDERFUL MEDICINE
lZlljMl;|l
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-
pIicatiOn of Wizard Oil.

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. 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
1t TO any one who has not tried it's realities.
The FIRST application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief in fifteen minutes, and dispelled my
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 in two years.
Since then1 have not used them, and cannow
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, | will say, when l commenced
using Wizard Oil, I could reach around nv
leg above the knee with one hand.
L was reduced to a mere sl1eIe-
ton, and most of the time
when 1 moved upon
clutches, or tried to stand
without them, I could not raise
either foot from the floor.
used fifteen bottles in all, but have not need
any for two months. l now feel as we'll as
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty-five
pounds in flesh. But must tell you it seems
almost like dream. You can refer to me as
often as you wish, and hundreds of the citi.
Gems of Adrian will testify to the truth of
my statements.

CHAPTER II.

Peter WAS ON the deep blue sea.
The afectionate second mate had
chosen him in his own watch. SO that.
as lie expressed himself, he might have
an eye ON him
Peter had always desired to behold q
storm at sea. His wish was soon graf
i6cd.
They were in the Gulf Stream. Early
in tho evening it commenced blowing.
and at eight bells. when Peters watch
was called, the order WAS given toreef
topsails.
An uneasy sensation had already
taken possession Of Peter. from the ab-
domen up. and hard he strove to reason
himself out Of the belief tha. it could
be seasicknes,.
On coming on deck Peter imagined.
from the aspect Of things. that the ship
was in imminent danger Of going down.
Pitchy d.rkness prevailed, the huge
hulk Of the Internal lifted itself at
times graudly from the waves, water
dashiug over the bulwarks flooded the
deck foot in depth. boxes and barrels
unsecured were sliding and smashin:
about in perfectly reckless manner,
and the captain and mates were shout
ing out orders at the top of their voices
aud inciting the crew to increased &C
.ivity by chci,e Scrip,ural selections
Peter wondered why lanterns and nm-
brellas were not brought into reQui.i-
,ion. Alarmed. he managed Ia creep
up to the captain. (whom. 1t will be re.
mem bered. Was an acquaintance OF
Peters father. and inquired OF h'm IT
he thought i, would blow much to-
nights
In reply the captain bestowed a kick
on Peter, and IS the embryo sailor
went flying over into the lea scuppers.
he felt convinced. from the force and
energy of the answer. that It would
blow great guns before morning.
THIS kick also impaired unto Peter
the yslua bio information that the mari
time etiquette did not allow common
sailors 20 occupy The Quarterteck. or
engage in gossip with the potelsafe OF
the cabin.

abdomen increased, his head grew

him. and finally. convinced that he was
really seasick, he settled into the lea
scuppers, aud cared for nobody nor no.
thing.
Finally his kind friend. the second
mate, espied him. AMI gently kicked
him below.
Such was Peters realization OF that
storm at sea. concerning which he had
SO often read in Marrya,t, Cooper and
the Bloody Buccanecr.'

True Farming.

The true farmer is he who raises
big crops and at the same time i'm
proves his land; who understands
his business, attends to it and does
it; whose stock sFe of the best and
in tie best condition, whose fences
are always in good repair, whose
farm buildings are commodi
Gus and neat; whose dwelling has
the appearance Of the home of civ
ilized people; whose corn crib and
smoke house are full of corn and
NEST raised by himself; who is sur
rounded by all the uecessaries and
comforts of life; who Studies his
profession and strives to reach the
perfection of farm economy, and
knows at the end of the year exact
ly what he has made, what he has
expended and how he stands with
the world. He may not cultivate
largely; he may be only that de
splsable thing, ''patch farmer"
but in reality he is intellectually
better farmer than the ''fine," the
splendid and the biggest" planters
out, and the time is rapidly ap
preaching when to follow his i'm
proved system, Smigrate or starve,
will be the only alternative left to
those who now despise agricultural
books or journals, and fancy what
they don't know is not worth know
ing.
