Certificate ola 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.. HAMLIN:-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 time to my bed. The balance of the
time was compelled to crawl around upon
crutches. / used medicines without number,
including large quantity of morphine, all OF
which proved worse than useless. AS to what
I 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. used bottle
day for ten days. The next morning after
the use Of the first bottle,
IIeft 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
sucha sudden cure would kill me, but wanted
q change, though 1t should be death.
That all who read this may know how I
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 q mere skele-
ton, and most OF the time
when L moved upon
crutches, or tried to stand
without thems L could not raise
either foot from the floor.

any for two months. | 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-
zens of Adrian will testify to the truth of
my statements.

money of the taxpayers for public pnr-
poses alone. and TO reserve the public
lands for the people who will settle on
terrible set of fellows; nothing could be
more disagreeable to the Republican
chiefs than the apparition of an opposition
party making a real bid for popular favor,
letting the dead past bury ITSELF and
looking forward to living questions in
which the happiness and prosperity of the
people are concerned.
The Republican platform represents
very accurately the spirit of the party
leaders. They have been twenty years ia
power, as the platform takes care TO re
mind the voters; and they would like to
have another twenty years OF it on the
strength of past services. They refuse TO
look forward; they promise nothing to the
country. At the last session of Congress
they played the part of obstructiyes and
nothing else. Every reform which was
brought forward received only their OBJ
stinate opposition. The election laws SO
clearly needed amendment that all the
candid Republican journals spoke out in
favor of proposed changes. but the party
leaders opposed every change. The civil
service was seen to need better regula-
ton, but the most eminent of the Repub-
lican Senators declared the question q
mere abstraction. The attempt Of Mr..
Bayard to place the currency oa . stable
basis by withdrawing the greenbacks filed
the Republicans With CONSERVATION.
Every attempt to improve the tariff and
make some parts of it less burdensome
upon legitimate Industries was vigorously
opposed and successfully thwarted by the
Republicans. with General Garfield at
their head. The proposal for free ships
was denounced by the Republicans as
other men would denounce an act of theft
OR piracy. Their platform expresses ac-
curately their determination to yield
nothing to the Just demands of the country
to oppose all changes and reforms and to
continue to live in the past and on the
past Revenue laws adopted during the
stress of war, and thought extravagentl
and unwise even then. must not be chang |
ed. Election laws adopted while the |
country still rocked On the greundswell
left by the war. and proved to have been
shamefully abused for partisan ends, must |
not be changed, The war and the solid |
South must still be the only public ques-
tions. That is the meaning of the Repub>
lican platform and of the republican chiefs. |
IF the country likes that they have made |
their formal andlofciallofer. But we repeat,
