Cerflhcatc OF 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-
DIicatiOn of Wizard Oil,
DR.. HAMLIN:-When I met Your agent
here, in September, I had been two years suf-
fering severely with Rheumatism half of that
time confined to the house, and three months
al 4 time to my bed The balance of the
time was compelled to crawl around upon
clutches. 1 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 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 sudden cure would kill me, but wanted
a change, though it should be death.
nat all who read this may know how l
have been, | will say, when l commenced
using Wizard Oil, could reach around my
leg above the knee with one hand.
L was reduced to a mere skele-
ton, and most of the time
when L moved upon
clutches, or tried to stand
without them, L 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
almost like dream. You can refer to me as
often as you wish, and hundreds of the citi-
gems of Adrian will testify to the truth of
nv statements.

Wetting Lead Pencils.
Minneapolis Tribuue.1

Minneapolis tribune
The act of putting II lead pencil
TO the tongue to wet it just before
writing, which we notice in 80 ma.
nv people, il one Of the oddities Of
which it is hard to give any reason
unless it began in the days when
lead pencils were poorer than now,
and was continued by example into
the next generation,
\ lead pencil should never be
wet. IT hardens the lead and ruins
the pencil. The fact is known TO
newspaper men and stenographers.
But nearly every one else does wet
a pencil before using it. This tact
was definitely settled by a newsps-
per clerk away down East.
Being of a mathematical tnrn of
mind, he asccrtained by actual
count that of fifty persons who
came into tho office to write an al
vertisement or uetice, forty five wet
II pencil 1T their mouths before
nsing it. Now this clerk always
uses the best pencils, cherishing a
good one with something Ot the
pride soldier feels in his gun or
sword, and it hurts his feelings to
have his pencil spoiled. But Pc.
likeness and business considerations
requires him to lend his pencil
scores of times every day. And
often after it has been wet till 1t
was hard and brittle and refused to
mark, his feelings would ovcrpower
him.
Finally he got some cheap pencils
and sharpcned them, Hd kept
them to lend. The first person who
took up the stock pencil was IA
drayman, whose breath smelt OF
onions and whisky. He held the
point in his mouth and soaked it
for several minutes, while he WAS
torturing himself IN the effort To
write an advertisement for a miss
inc bulldog.
Then n sweet looking Young lady
came into the office, with kid gloves
that buttoncd half the length OF
her arm. She picked ny the same
old pencil and pressed it TO her
dainty lips preparatory to writing
an advertisement for Il lost brace
let. The clerk would have stayed
her hand, even 1t tue risk of box
Of the best pencils ever Faber ca.
tered, but he was too late.
And thus that pencil passed from
mouth to mouth for u week. II
was sucked by people of all ranks
and stations, and all degrees ol
cleanliness and unclcanlineSs. But
we forbcar. Surely no one who
reads this will ever again wet n
lead pencil.

Few people, says the London
Lancet, know the value OF lemons.
\ piece of lemon bound upon a
corn, renewed night and morning,
will cure it ia tew days.
a free use of this fruit aud sugar
will always relieve cough.
Most all people feel poorly in the
spring, and SO take medicine for re-
lief; but it they would eat lemon
every day, before breakfast, for one
week-with or without sngar-thcy
would find it better than the most
iavcrite medicine.
Lemon Juice. according To this re
cipe, Will care consumption, even
after the doctors have given ii mp,
Put "a dozen lemons into cold wa.
ter and slowly bring to II boil; boil
slowly until they are soft, bnt not
too soft; then squeeze until the Juice
is all ont; add sugar to suit your
taste, and drink.
In the above way use dozen
lemons a day; and should they cause
pain or loosen the bowels too much,
lessen the quantity. and use only
FIVE or six a day until you are better,
and then begin again with a dozen
every day.
After using five or six dozen, the
the patient will begin to gain flesh
aud enjoy food. Hold OH to the
lemons, and continue to use them
for several weeks more.
Another use for lemons is for a
refreshing drink in summer, or in
sickness at any tine, prepared rs
above, and add sugar and water.
But in order to have this keep well,
after boiling the lemons squeeze
them and strain carefully; then To
every pint Of juice add poand OF
crushed sugar; boil and stir until
the sugar. is dissolved; skim care
fully and Then bottle for use.
