" Uncle BILL" {" Hubbell Of Bath, N. 7
From the Advocate, Bath, ". r.

Residents OF Bath, N. Y, have taken Z
great fancy OF late to Lake Salubria, which
lies Just outside the village, and during the
past two years q 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 recentlv and dropped in to see "Uncie
Billy" Hubbell in his comfortable cottage
under tho pines. Mr.. Hubbell established
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 first
spring in twenty years in which he had been
free from his old enemy, sciatic rheumatism.
He thought he had contracted this disease
while running as express messenger on the
Erie and other railroads between 1S49 and
1859, although he did not feel its acute
symptoms until some fifteen years later. Mr..
Hubbeil is now the second Oldest expressman
in the United States aud recalls many inter-
ing "reminiscences of these early days. In
1876 he went to the Western frontier, and
has suffered from seia,ic rheumatism ever
since. Speaking of the many efforts he had
made to get relief from this painful ailment,
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 he tried the White
Sulphur Spring. Ohio. st. Catherine, Can,
and Clifton aud 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 vixen those twinges caught me that
they could hear me down there"
William Ii. Halo k, owner of Hallock's
ba *, in Bath, is "a nephew of Mr.. Hubbeli,
and last winter he insist ed that "Uncle BIZ
ly' should try Pink Pills for Pale People for
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.. Hailock. He had already tried
"more than a million remedies before he
came TO Pink Pills and rs none had rendered
him the slightest benefit. he pretty we'll
discouraged. However. TO please Mr.. Hal
lock, he got II box of Pink Pills. Since then
(some three or four monihs), Mr.. Hubbell
has not felt a single trace OF rheumatism,
and is now on his fourth box of the pills He
cannot explain how this marvellous relief
WAS effected, bat feels sure it WAS the pitts
which did IL, and is now enthusiastic in
their endorsement was his nephew. Mr..
Hallock. Mr.. Hubb-ll now comes into Bat h
almost every day. and says he could ride a
bicycle If he only had some one to help him
on and oil.
