Certificate Of q Prominent Citizen
of, Adrian, Mich, who had not
Walked without Clutches for
two years. He threw them away
i'm q Hours after the first APP
DIication of Wizard Oil.
DR.. 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 a 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, ana dlspeHed 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 homo 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 a sudden cure would kill me, but wanted
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.

any for tive 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
my statements

There is story gong around in
the papers of case in court, said tc
have occurred in Tennessee, which is
true so far as it goes except the locality
and names. 1t occurred in Jackson,
Mississippi. 1t is doubtless remem-
bered that after the close of the war
there was no court held in Mississippi,
but a military one presided over by
an Indiana lawyer whose name is for
gotten. There were great number
of white prisoners to be tried for va
riOus offences, mostly false, on the in
formation and testimony Of negroes.
There was one among them-a man
of irreproachable character-accused
of numbering negro man. Hon. A.
r.. Johnston, defended him. There
were score of witr resses against him,
and not one in his favor. One witness
swore that he was concealed in the
loft of stable and saw, by the light
of the moon, the prisoner pay GER
tain sum of money to man for con-
cealing the body. Evening closed the
court, and there seemed not ray of
hope, everything was dark and gloomy
for the accused, as on the next day
verdict would be rendered for life or
death. The Judge Advocate, however,
was in an ecstacy, and could not con-
ceal his delight that he could at last
hang q Southern man for killing a
negro.
At late hour of the night an old
man knocked at the residence of Judge
Johnston to make inquiries about the
case, and was retained as a witness.
He stated that he lived near the gen.
tleman, and was familiar with the
premises, that there was not any stable
that had q loft, and moreover, he had
seen the man since he was said to have
been murdered. What would his tes-
timony avail when there was a score |
who swore to the contrary? Judge
Johnston, who was never known to
relax in his efforts to secure an acquit-
tai, or to omit the smallest item that
would aid him in defense, was almost
in despair. Witness stated the day of
the month and the age of the moon.
Counsel went into court on the final
with an almanac, the old
negro man went to testify. TWAS salts
proven that there was no
moon at that. date, and no lofts to the
stables.
The Judge Advocate was bewilder-
lered at the false testimony he had
treasured up in his heart. " Judge
said he, "you ar a cute
lawyer; that about the moon is won
lerful, and their amt na'ar lawyer
N Ingiana who would ever have
thought of such a thing"
Not long after the trial, the man
made his appearance, and was some
Dhot astonished to hear that he had
1een murdered. H. N. }.

ALBANY, July 21.-Mr. John +.

insurance department and the leader
of Grant Republicans in this county,

prominent Republican, who inquired
what Mr.. Smyth's campaign plans
were.
al haven't any," responded Mr..
Smyth. "I am out of politics, and am
going to Maine for the summer"
"But surely" responded the other
gentleman, 1--WE are to have a ratlt1ca-

TYou may if you like" said Mr..
smytb. "and if you can. Those who
