a GOOD Housewife.

The good housewife. when she is giving
her house its spring renovat1ng, should
bear in mind that the dear inmates of her
house are more precious than many
houses, and that their system need cleans
ing by purifying the blood. regulating the
stomach and bowels to prevent and cure
the diseases arising from spring malaria
and miasma. and she must know that
there is nothing that will do 1t SO perfectly
and surely as Hop Bitters, the purest and

A WONDERFUL MEDICINE


Certificate of a Prominent Citizen
of Adrian, Mich, who had not
Walked without Clutches for
in "a Hours after the first ap-
plication of Wizard Oil.
DR.. HAsfLIN:-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. l used medicines without number,
including large quantity of morphine, all of
which proved worse than useless. AS to what
l 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
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 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 a sudden cure would kill me- but wanted
a change, though it should be death.
That all who read this may know how
have been, will say, when 1 commenced
using Wizard Oil, could reach around my
leg above the knee with one hand.
L was reduced to mere slzele-
ton, and most of the time
when L moved upon
crutches, or tried to stand
without them, / could not raise
either foot from the floor.
used fifteen bottles in all, but have not used
any for two months. / now feel as well as
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty-fve
pounds in flesh. But 1 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.
