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 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 time to my bed. The balance of the
time l 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 a 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 thenI have not used them, and cam now

ton, and most of the time
when I moved upon

without them, L could not raise

I used fifteen bottles in all, but have not used
any for two months. / now feel as well as
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty five

A Patented Child.

The town of Sussex, Penn, has lately
been profoundly stirred by an extraor-
dinary and romantic lawsuit. The case
was an entirely novel one, and no pre-
cedent bearing upon it is to be found in
the common or statute law. While it is
necessarily matter of great interest to
the legal profession, its romantic side
cannot fail to attract the attention of
persons of all ages and every kind of sex.
In fact, it is destined to be one of the
most celebrated cases in the annals OF
American jurisprudence.
Some time last winter lady whom
we call Mrs Smith, who kept boarding G
house in Sussex, took her little girl,
aged 4, with her to make call on Mrs.
Brown, her near neighbor. Mrs. Brown
was busy in her kitchen, where she re-
ceived her visitor with her usual cor
dality. There was a large fire blazing in
the stove, and while the ladies were ex
citedly discussing the new bonnet of the
local Methodist ministers wife, the little

1t was all we'll enough for the churches
to pray for the editors. They did that,
perhaps, which they understood how to
do best And there was no impropriety,
that we know of, in coupling the names
of the editors with the subject of "tem
perance and reform" There is need
enough of temperance work and of re-
form in all possible directions But we
may as we'll be frank enough to say to
those who are responsible for church
management and church influence, that
the opinion widely prevails that there is
no other organized body of men and wo
men in which there is more pressing
need Of work for reform-and reform
within its own circle-than in that of
our church organizations. 1t is very
generally believed that while the outside
world has been lowering the standard of
morality, our churches have not only
consented but have themselves lowered
the standard of the Cross, to meet the
demands of those who go to church to be
amused rather than instructed and
who join the church because it gives
them a better standing in society, and
tends to give respectability to their busi

Accuracy a Path to Wealth.

In this age of guesswork it is refresh
ing to read an article on the following,
contributed to the Methodist by John D.
Knox, of Topeka, Kansas on the impor-
tance of exactness. The author com
mences with the Importance of accuracy
in the value of testimony, all depending
on its exactness, and proceeds to say:
The professed end of logic is to teach
men to think, to judge and reason with
precision and accuracy. S. Martin asks:
What makes the scholar? Exactness
What is most likely to secure success in
the learned professions Exactness.
What raises men of various callings to
the highest position attainable by per-
sons in their occupations? Exactness.
What makes a mans word pass current
as gold? His known exactness. What,
above all things, is essential in the labo-
ratory? Exactness."
Mr.. Martin is right. Exactness, accu-
racy, perfection in all the work you un-
dertake will bring you a sure reward.
in these words: HE became an honora-
BILE man, successful merchant, and bank
president" His splendid career COM
menced in blacking pair of boots we'll
when bov; and he continued "doing g
well" all through life, whether backing
boots or managing finance. What he
did he did accurately, and, of course, it
did not have to be done over or improved
or mended but always gave satisfaction
and secured commendation.
