NOTHING LIKE IT.

Great Rejoicing in the Conover Family— Crutches Laid Aside After Twenty Years’ Use. I have been afflicted with rheumatism twenty years. For the last ten years have been oblised to use crutches. Often my left hip and knee would entirely give out. Have expended a large amount of money for remedies recommended as a cure for that terrible disease; have used the most powerful liniments on my hip and knee to soothe tho pain, that I might get a little sleep. My hip and knee had lost nearly all strength by the use of liniments, and I could get no help. I saw an advertisement of Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup, ordered half a dozen bottles, took them and received some relief, then ordered a dozen. Have taken seven of the last dozen, and I am happy in saying that I know lam being cured. Have not used any liniment since I commenced taking your syrup. When I began taking your svrup I could not take a step without the use of a ca"o, neither could I turn myself in bed without aid; cairnowturn in bed without any trouble, ean walk about my house and office without the use of my eano. often losing track of it. for the reason when I take a long walk I take it along. My office is four blocks from my house; I have not walked to or from it for over a year until last'lhurs<iay, a week. Binee that time I have walked to and from it' every day, except Sunday. I am truly rejoicing that I am fast boiug relieved from such a terrible affliction. Very truly, 8. g. Conovek. Agent of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co., Manistee. Mich.
