" Uncle Billy " Hubbeu Of Bath, KY

Residents OF Bath, n T., have taken r.
great fancy OF hate to Lake Saluhria, which
lies just eut-tde the village, and during the,
past two years score of new cottages havs,
gone up On hs 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 recentiv and dropped In to see Uncle
Billy HabSelI In his comfortable cottage
under tas pines Mr.. Hubbell established
himself ut the Lake before the boom com
meneed, and has one Of the prettiest loca-
deHs there.
M1. Hubben said that this was the first
spring In twenty years in which he had been
free from his old enemy, sciatie rheumatism.
He thought he had contracted this disease
while running as express messenger on the
Erie and other railroads between 1919 and
1859. although he did not feed its seuts,
symptoms until some fifteen years LATER Mr.
Hubbell + now the second oldest expressman
in the United States Ind recalls many inter-
esting "Reminiscences OF these early days In.
1876 he went to the Western frontier and
has suffered from scia.i1 rheumatism ever
since. Speaking OF the many efforts he had
made to get relief from this pafnful ailment,
he said that while in New Mexico no 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, Caa.-
and Clifton and Avon, in New York, bat
without being able to get the slightest relief
As he advanced in age, his troupie became
more painful. why" he exclaimed, point
ing to the farm house of william Burleson,
about six hundred feet distant. Il would
yell so VIXEN those twinGea caught me that
they could hear NE down there. "
William II. Hallock. owner OF Hailoek's
bank, in Bath, IS nephew of Mr.. Hubbeli
and last winter he insisted that Uncle BIZ
ly" should try Pink Pills for Pale People fox
his rheumatism. Mr.. HubbeIl 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 aud 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 them
(some three or four mOuths), mr. Hubbali
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 the pills
which did 1t, and is now as enthusiastic In
their end orsement as was his nephew, Mr..
Hallock. Mr.. Hubbell now comes into Bath
almost every day. and says hs could ride a
bicyceif he only had some one to help him
on and off.
