A WONDERFUL MEDICINE.
IlIIM: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 APP
plication of Wizard Oil.
DR.. HAMLIN:-When met your agent
here, in September, l had been two years suf-
tering 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
clutches. l used medicines without number,
including large quantity of morphine, all of
which proved worse than useless. Asto what
| suffered, the English language cannot tell
1t 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. I used bottle
a day for ten days. The next morning after
the use of the first bottle,
Ileft my Clutches at home and
walked down town without them
for the first time in two years.
Since thenI have not used them. and cannow
split 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
change, though it should be death.

using Wizard Oil, could reach around nv

ton, and most of the time

without them, I could not raise
either foot from the floor.
used fifteen bottles in all, but have not used
any for two months. I now feel as well as
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty-five
| pounds in flesh. But must tell you it seems

often as you wish, and hundreds of the citi-
zens of Adrian will testify to the truth of

A considerable breeze was stirred in
the House Of Representatives the other
dag growing out Of a Southern claim
bill Of Maggie Barron, and others
for supplies furnished the Union
army The Northern Democrats are
sensitive about these claims inasmuch
a the Republicans use them with more
effect than any other weapon against the
Democratic party Of thar section. 1t
gives plausibility to the extravagant
charge that if the Democrats obtain con
troll Of the government they will hand
the public treasury over to the South for
/ the payment Of the Confederate debt, the
emancipated slaves and all that We
entirely agree with our contem porary, the
Nick-burg Herald, that there are very
few of these claims that should be paid.
ifthey are demanded on the loyalty of
the claimants And to speak plainly,
the great mass Of Southern people do IDt
care copper whether many Of these
claims are paid or not, Ii it were posi-
bIe for Southerners to get back property
taken from them or destroyed during the
war, without regard to whether they were
loyal or not, some justice could be shown
But to pay some claims merely because
some will swear harder and scrape TO-
gether more suspicious evidence than
Others, is d piece of injustice that the
South does not expect or ask.
For these and numerous other reasons
unnecessary to mention, we would suggest
that Southern representatives go slow in
this loyal claims business. We may very
well let she dead past bury its dead. But
i'll the matter Of appropriations for legit-
innate purposes, we trust they will insist
upon fair distribution, and an equita
bic share for their own people who con

others for the support of the government
Ii Is time for the role Of suppliants by the
Southern people to cease, and for the as
sertion Of rights as equals in the Union
to begin. Fawning does not always
bring thrift, but it never fails to bring

consideration, which the people of the
State are neither legally nor morally
bound to pay. So far as war debts are
concerned, the United States govern

dictate. decreed that debts of that class

very nearly all the obligations which were
incurred during the war. Nothing else

The Voice of the West.

There is no misunderstanding the posi-
ton of the West upon the Silver ques-
ton. On the 25th inst. the Legislature
of Illinois adopted a resolution declaring
that ''the silver dollar, coming to Us from
Colonial times, and as it existed under
& the Republic for nearly a hundred
"years," should be restored as a unit of
value, with unlimited coinage with the
issue of bullion certificates and other
privileges accorded to gold" 1t was
adopted by an overwhelming majority.
The Secretary of State Of Illinois was
also instructed to send attested copies OF
the resolution to each of the Senators
and Representatives of the State in Con
gress, with instructions that they present
them to their respective Houses as the
voice of the people of Illinois. Every
Democratic member voted ia favor of
adhering to the land marks of the faith
ers.
