" Uncle Billy" Hubbell of Bath, N. Y.
From The Adrocate, BAH, N. Y.

Residents of Bath, N. Y, have taken a
great fancy of late to Lake Salubrla, which
lies just outside the village, and during the
past two years score of new cottages have
gone up on its shores. Choice locations are
becoming scarce and the early settlers are
careful now to keep what dooryard they
have left. Your correspondent visited the
Lake recently and dropped in to see "Uncle
Billy Hubbel in his comfortable coltag'
under the pines. Mr.. Hubbell estabishet
himself at the Lake before the boom com
menced, and has one Of the prettiest loca
tions there.
Mr.. Hubbell said that this was the frs
spring in twenty years in which he had been
free from his old enemy, sciatic rheumatism
He thought he had contracted this dseas,
while running as express messenger on til,
Erie and other railroads between 1S49 anG
1859, although he did not feel its acute
symptoms until some fifteen years later. Mr.,
Hubbell Is now the second Oldest expressmar
in the United States and recalls many inter.
esting "reminiscences of these early days. In
1876 he went to the Western frontier, and
has suffered from sciatic rheumatism ever
since. Speaking of the many efforts he had
made to get relief from this painful aiment,
he said that while in New Mexico he visited
the Las Vegas and Hamas springs, and later
he tried those at Manitou, Col, and Little
Rock, Ark. Coming east ho tried the White
sulphur Spring, Ohio. St. Catherine, Can,
and Clifton and Avon, in New York, but
without being able to get the slightest relief.
As he advanced in age, his trouble became
more painful. "Why," he exclaimed, point
ing to the farm house of william Burleson,
about six hundred feet distant, II would
yell so when those twinges caught me that
they could hear me down there"
William II. Hallock, owner OF Hallock's
bank, in Bath, Is n nephew OF Mr.. Hubbell
and last winter he insisted that Uncle BIZ.

his rheumatism. Mr.. Hubbell is free to say
that he had no faith in the pills whatever,
and only tried them because OF the insist
ence of Mr.. Hallock. He had already tried
more than n million remedies" before he
came to Pink Pills and rs none had rendered
him the slightest benefit. he was pretty well
discouraged. However. to please Mr.. Hat
lock, ne got box of Pink Pills. Since then
(some three or four months), Mr.. Hubbell
has not felt single trace OF rheumatism,
and Is now on his fourth box of the pills Hn
cannot explain how this marvellous relief
was effected, but feels sure it was tho pills
which did 1t, and Is now as enthusiastic in
their endorsement as was his nephew, Mr..
Hallock. Mr.. Hubbell now comes into Bath
almost every day. and says he could ride q
bicycle il he only had some one to help him
on and off.
