Walked without Clutches for
two years. He threw them away
in "a Hours after the first ap-
piication of Wizard Oil.
DR.. When 1 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
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 nv
doubts in twenty-four hours. I 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 in two years.
Since thenI have not used them, and can now
split cord of wood quick as any man in
Adrian. Some of my friends at first thought
sucha sudden cure would kill me, but wanted
a change, though 1t should he death

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 a dream. You can refer to me as
often you wish, and hundreds of the citi-
zens of Adrian will testify to the truth of
my statements.

COLUMBUS, NEI

COLUMBUS, NEB., Feb. Is, 1879.
Mr.. EDITOR, Dear SIR: had
occasion, a few days ago, TO call al
the store-rooms of our friend VIM.
Becker. The old maxim, Honesty
the best policy" is well illustrated
in bis uniform business prosperity.
His success in the grocery and gem
eral produce line has encouraged
him to purchase large stock OF
farming implements, which he now
offers for sale. We particularize
only the following:
The celebrated Canton Clipper
plOw, manufactured especially for
this trade by Parlin Il Orendorf,
Canton, Ills, warranted to scOur in
the most difficult Nebraska soil.
The old standard Moline plow and
cultivator, which is so well known
to every farmer, as to need no spe-
cial recommendation. The Illinois
combined riding and walking culti-
vator, a well known and very useful
implement, as j: enables a boy easily
TO do the work of a man.
The Gorham Seeder, which is
claimed to excel all others in ease
of draft and convenience of hand
ling. He also has seeding attach
ments for the cultivatOrs, which
enables farmer TO secure a seeder
and cultivator combined, at about
hal e the cost of single seeder, and
it is warranted to give entire salts
faction.
The best known and most highly
appreciated line OF reaping and
moving machines in the market,
viz: the Buckeye, manufactured by
Aultman, Miller & Co, Akron, D.
He is making a speciality of the
Sulky plow trade, and challenges
competition in that line. In fact,
lie is firmly convinced that he has
the best line of machinery in this
market, including wagons and
threshers.
Mr.. Becker has secured the SER
vices of Mr.. II. p. Bower, a well
known gentleman, who has been
prominently connected with the ma
chine trade at this place for the last
two years, and has bad upwards Of
ten years experience in this business.
| am a friend of the farmers, and
as such would advise them to call
on Mr.. Becker for any article in bis
line, knowing that it will be to their
interest. Yours truly,
FARMERS FRIEND.
