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-
pIication of Wizard Oil.
DR.. HANLIN:-When I met your agent
here, in September, had been two years suf-
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
clutches. I 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 it's realities.
The first application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief in fifteen minutes, and dispelled my
doubts in twenty-four hours. I used bottle
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 i'm 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 Ia sudden cure would kill me, but wanted
change, though 1t should he death.
That all who read this may know how
have been, l will say, when / commenced
using Wizard Oil, could reach around my
leg above the knee with one hand
Il was reduced to q mere slkele-
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 Tor two months. l now feel as well as
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty.fve
pounds IN flesh. But I 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.

The Boy TRAPPER. By Harry
Castleman. Philadelphia: Porter
& Coates. $1.25.
No one knows how to tell Of pio-
neer adventure to entertain the boys
better than Harry Castleman. "The
Boy Trapper" is just the kind of a
book to make the long evenings van
ish ike q dream, and drive sleep
and dull care from the boys. When
such books can be sliced in as a kind
of spice to life, to rouse the mind
from the tire of more rugged expe-
riences, it is all right and useful. 1t
builds up the courage, cultivates a
little romance, and enlivens a boy to
give him a taste of wild life.
