(" Uncle Billy - Hubben Of Bath, n. 7.
From the Adcocate, Bath, N. r


Residents Of Bath, N. Y, have taken =
great fancy Of late to Lake Salubria, which
lies lust outside the village, aud during the
past two years a score Of new cottages havs
gone up on its shores. Choice locations arc
becoming scarce and the early settlers ats
careful now to keep what dooryard they
have left. Your correspondent visited the
Lake RECENTLY and dropped In to see "Uncls
Billy" Hubbell in his comfortable coitage
under the pines. Mr.. Hubbell established
himself at the Lake before the boom conn
mrnced, and has one ofsthe 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, sclGtic rheumatism.
Ee thought he had contracted this disegse
whilu running as express messenger on the
Erie aud other railroads between 1919 and
1859. although he did not feel its acute
SYMPTOMS until some fifteen years later. Dir.
Hubhe!ris now the second olest eSpreSsman
In the United States and recalls many Inter-
esing "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 allmenti
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 and Avon, In New York, but
without being able 10 get the slightest relief.
As he advanced in age, his trouble became
more painful. "Why," he exclaimed, point
ing to tho farm house Of William Bnrleson,
about six hundred feet distant, II would
yell so wken those twinRes caught me- that
they could hear me- down there.
William II. Halo X, owner OF Hallock's
bank, In Bath, Is u nephew OF Mr.. Hubbell,
and last winter he insisted that "Unclo BIZ
ly" should try Pink Pills for Pale People for
his rheumatism. Mr. Hubbel Is free to say
that he had no faith In the pills whatever,
and only tried them because Of the insist
enco OF Mr.. Hallock. He had already tried
more than 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. Hal
lock, he got box Of Pink Pills. Since then
(some thrre or four monihs), Mr.. Hubbell
has not felt a single trace OF rheumatism,
and is now on his fourth box OF the pills. Ho
cannot explain how this marvellous relief
was effected, bat feels sure 1t was tho pills
which did II, and is now as nthuslas,tc In
their endorsement as was his nephew. DIR.
unllock. Mt Hubbell now comes into Bath
almost every day, and says he could ride q
bicycle II he only had some one to help him
on and off,
Subscribed aud sworn to before me this
22l day of May, 1895.
