DR.. HAMIIN:-When l met your agent

fering severely with 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
crutches. 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 my
doubts in twenty-four hours. 1 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 as quick as any man in
Adrian. Some of my friends at first thought
such a sudden cure would kill me, but l wanted
a change, though it should be death

Messrs WEEKS g. POTTER; Gentlemen, My

one side of his face Stree he was born which dur

great deal, he scratched the surface all the
time, no matter what was applied. ! used many
