" Uncle Billy 1" Hubbcli of Bath, n. Y
From the .Adpocate, Bath, ". Y

Residents of Bath, y. Y. have taken a
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 ana the early settlers are
careful now to keep what dooryard they
have left. Your correspondent visited tie
Lake recently and dropped in to SEQ "Uncle
Billy Hubbrll in his comfortable cottage
under the pines. Mr.. Huhbell established
himself at the Lake before the boom COM
menced, and has one OF the prettest loca-
tons 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 lS+9 and
1859, although he did not feel its acute
SYMPTOMS until some fifteen years later. Mr..
Hubbell Is now the second olsest eNFressman
In the United States and recalls many inter-
ssting "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 hi had
made to get relief from this painful ailmcn',
he said that while in New Mexico he visited
the Las Vegas and llamas springs, and later
he tried those at Mnnitou, Col, and Little
Rock, Ark. Coming east he 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, 81 would
yell so when those twinges caught me that
they could hear me down there.
William ii. Hallork, owner of Hullock's
bank, in Bath, is nephew of Mr.. liuGbell,
and last winter he insisted that "unce b.
ly" should try Pink Pills for Pale People for
his rheumat ism. Mr.. iIubhel Is free to say
and only tried them because of the insist
ence Of Mr.. Hallock. 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 was pretty well
discouraged. However. to please Mr.. Hat
lock, he got a box of Pink Pills. Since then
(some three or four months), Mr.. IIubbcll
has not felt single trace OF rheumatism,
and is now ON his fourth box of the pills He
cannot explain how this marvellous relief
was effected, but feels sure it was tho pills
which did it, and is now rs enthusiastic in
their endorsement rs was his nephew. Mr..
Hallock. Mr.. Hubbell now comes into Bath
almost every day and says he could ride
bicycle if he only had some one to help him
on and Off.
