Certificate 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 APP
plication of Wizard Oil.
DR.. HAMLIN:-When I met your agent
here, IN September, 1 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 was compelled to crawl around upon
crutches. 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. 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 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.
That all who read this may know how I
have been, | will say, when commenced
using Wizard Oil, 1 could reach around my
leg above the knee with one hand.
L was reduced to mere skele-
ton, and most of the time
when L moved upon
crutchess 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. l now feel as well as
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty-fiv
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-
zens of Adrian will testify to the truth of
my statements.

IT IS RATHER q small uphill business
for the Democrats to keep on throwing
mud at General Garfield upon the
charge that he sold himself to Cakes
Ames for $3.50, when it is upon record
that he refused to take $4,000 back
salary which Congress voted him, and
which Bonnie Biggs and q hundred
other Democrats in Congress at the
time, gohblsd up as soon as it was Of
fsred. We never heard Of the Gazette
finding fault with Mr.. Biggs for taking
his $4,000 back pay grab. but it holds
up it's hands in holy horror at the
charges which it knows TO be false,
that Garfield took s329 from Cakes
Ames on accc unit OF the Credit Mobil:er
It is always we'll for lie to have few
elements Of probability hanging about
it somewhere, but this attempt to con-
meet Garfield criminally with the Credit
