A WONDERFUL MEDICINE
llI.@l;|9
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-
plicatiOn 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
crutches. | used medicines without number,
including a large quantity of morphine, all of
which proved worse than useless. As to what
l 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 homo and
walked down town without them
for the first time in 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
That all who read this may know how l
have been, will say, when l commenced
using Wizard Oil, l could reach around my
leg above the knee with one hand.
was reduced to a mere skele-
ton, and most of the time
when / moved upon
clutches, or tried to stand
without them, I could not raise
either foot from the floor.
I used fifteen bottles in all, but have not used
any for two months. l 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 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.

A PROPOSITION TO DIVIDE THE STATE,



New ORLEANS, March 8, 1879.
To the Editor Of the Democrat.
A short time since the writer overheard O
conversation on the present political condi-
tion of the State, In which 1t was suggested
that In view OF the dissatisfaction that seems
TO exist between the metropolitan and country
parishes. as regards State appropriations and
kindred subjects, why not divide the State
into two, having the parishes and portions OF
parishes east Of the mississippi river consti-
tute one State, and the remaining parishes
the other. | do not know which body, the
State Legislature or the constitutional con-
vention, has the power to settle this question,
but whichever has, 1t Is to be hoped It will he
acted upon by that body, as the idea seems to
be q very good one.
In regard TO electing delegates to the com
ing convention another suggestion presents
itself. Why not elect as delegates some of
our Intelligent professional men, real estate
owners, merchants and mechanics of
unimpeachabie ntegrity-men who are tax
payers and are Interested In the welfare Of
the State, who do not seek political honors,
and who are familiar with the wants and re-
guirements of the State These are the men
who should frame our constitution. There Is
no question but that we have such q body Of
mon amongst us, and there should be no diff
Guilty In making proper selections. As vital
thing to State as its constitution should be
framed by such men and not by irresponsible
politicians. many OF whom pay no taxes and
have no interest In the State outside OF their
own political ACKNOWLEDGMENT. ALPHA.

thinker Of the great Jewish race, and per-
