NOTHING LIKE IT.

Great Rejoicing in the Conover Family. Cratches Laid Aside After Twenty Years’ Use. I nave been afflicted with rheumatism twenty years. For the laßt ten years have been obliged 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 sooth the pain, that I might get a little sleep. My hip and knee had lbst nearly all strength by the use es liniments, and I could get no help. I saw au advertisement of Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup, ordered half 'a dozen bottles, took them and received some relief, and ordered another dozen. Have taken seven of the last dozen, and I am happy in saying that 1 know I am being cured. Have not nsed any liniment since I commenced taking your syrup. When I began taking your syrup I could not take a step without the use of a cane; neither could I tarn myself in bed without aid; can now torn in bed without any trouVle, can walk about my house and office without the use of my cane, often losing track of it, or the reason when I take a long walk I take it along. My office is four blocks from my trmrterilim not WJRj'fog from it for over a year until last Thursday, a week. Since that time I have walked to and from it every dav, except Sunday. lam truly rejoicing that lam fast being relieved from such a terrible affliction. Verv truly, ' S. 8.
