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-
plication of Wizard Oil.
DR.. When I met your agent
here, in September, 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
clutches. / 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 it's realities.
The first application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief in fifteen minutes, and dispe1led 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 a cord of wood 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 I
have been, L will say, when 1 commenced
using Wizard Oil, could reach around my
leg above the knee with one hand.
L was reduced to a nero skele-
ton, and most of the time
when L moved upon
cFutches, or tried to stand
without them, could not raise
either foot from the floor.
I 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 five
pounds in flesh. But 1 must tell you it seems
almost like dream. You can refer to me as
often asyou wish, and hundreds Of the citi-
zens of Adrian will testify to the truth of
my statements

give instead those Of the month Of June
and the half year. Il seems the busi-
ness Of the first half year of 1880 was
nearly one-half larger than that Of the
first half Of 1879. Putting aside the
transactions at New York, which may
be indifferently interpreted, the ex-
changes at all the other clearing houses
show an increase Of nearly one-third In
comparison with those OF the CORE
spending months last year. The fact
ID that the business Of New York has
been exceptionally enlarged during the
past year by the unprecedented increase
Of imports from foreign lands, by the
circumstances which have caused ex-
taordinary shifts Of grain by lake and
canal. and by remarkable extensions Of
territorial facilities. Hence not more
than 10 per cent. represents that in
crease Of exchanges at New York,
which Is due TO the greater activity I'm
stock speculation, while nearly 40 per
cent. represents the Increase at New
York due to other causes. 81. Louis
and Chicago have been doing better
during the month than during the past
year, but It may be supposed that this
isbecause OF the extraordinary improve
ment Of crops since June first. Boston
and Philadelphia have been doing worse,
and this may also be attributed to

enne tournament, returned to Denver
last evening and were received at the
depot by 4 delegation from the depart
ment, headed by q band, and marched
through the streets to their hose houses.
Captain James DuRgan, Of the Bates
team, tells q story directly in conflict
with the one brought by the Fisher
boys. respecting the treatment received
by the Denver iremen at Cheyenne.
Captain Duggan says they were
s~plendidly entertained, and fair and
courteously treated. That they had n
time keeper and referee, and that the
reason the Denver team lost the prizes
wns because they were slower than
their competitors. Mr.. Duegan denies
the light pressure complaint and gives
the Cheyenne department full credit
for n splendid tournament The
straightaway race between the Bates
and Hooks 9 was won after . close
struggle by tine former.
