/" Uncle Billy" Hubbell of Bath, n. Y.
From the Aduooate, Bath, N. p.

Residents Of Bath, n Y, have taken q
great fancy Of late to Lake Salubria, which
lies just outside the village, and during the
pnst two years score Of new cottages have
gone up on its shores. Choice locations are
becoming scarce ana the early settlers are
careful now to keep what dooryard they
have left. Your correspondent visited the
Lake recently and dropped in to see "Unole
Billy" Hubbell In his comfortable cottage
under the pines. Mr.. Hubbell established
himself at the Lake before the boom COM
menced, and has one Of the prettiest loca-
lions there.
MIR. Hubbell said that this was the first
spring in twenty years In which he had been
free from his old enemy, seiatic rheumatism.
He thought he bad contracted this disease
whilo 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..
Hubbell Is now the second oldest expressman
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 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 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 80 when those twinges caught me that
they could hear me down there"
William d. Hallork, owner OF Hallock's
Dauk, IN Bath, Is nephew of Mr.. Hubbell,
and last winter he insisted that "Uncle Bill
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. Hallock. he had already tried
"more than million remedies" before he
came to Pink Pills and as none had rendered
him the slightest benefit. he was pretty we'll
discouraged. However. to please Mr.. Hal
lock, he 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. BE
cannot explain how this marvellous relief
was effected, but feels sure II was.the pills
which did ii, 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 If he only had some one to help him
on and of.
