TIMELY
.RESCUE OF A CHILD!

The .Redear and Salt burn Gazette says: The
forowing interesting facts regarding the timely
rescue of a child have just been brought to light
ind are made public by due authority of the father
of the little girl, Mr. W. H. Haw, the well-known
baker and grocer at Redear, and whose place of
business is at 53, High Street. We may add that
the publishers of this paper, being familiar with the
facts, are in a position to personally vouch for the
entire accuracy of the particulars given. As the
incident is no doubt of decided importance to
parents, we gladly become the medium of bringing
it to the notice of the public.
Some little time ago the young daughter of Mr.
Haw became the victim:of an acute bodily affliction
of a rheumatic nature, which attacked the arms and
legs of the child, so that these became alarmingly
swollen and painful. Notwithstanding the steps
which were taken to relieve the little sufferer, her
case became so serious that she not only was con-
fined to her bed, but was unable to turn her b )dy
from one side to the other. At this critical paint,
everything having failed, Mr. Haw remembe:ed
haviw; read in the Redcar and Saltbuin Gazette re-
garling a medical discovery which it was claimed
possessed almost magical power to drive away pain.
He procured a bottle of the same and made an ap-
plication in accordance with the directions. To his
agreeable surprise and satisfaction, the pain and
swelling began to disappear immediately, and in the
astonishingly short time of twelve hours the cnild
coald walk across the room, and when only three
applications had been made the pain and swelling
had entirely left her and she is now quite well,
Mr. [Jaw very aptly remarked that a remedy pas.
seeing such wonderful power as St. Jacobs Oil,
which is the artiale he used on the child, should be
made nhown by every legitimate means, as by its
Lite no doubt untold suffering would be avoided.
' While the foregoing doubtless confirms what has
been said and published recently, with reference to.
the marvellous pain-bani.thing and healing proper-
ties cf this wonderful Oils, our attention has been
drawn to a still more startling case than that above
referred to, awl the facts of which have likewise
been carefully substantiated. Mr. Ueorge C. Collins,
of 73, Newman Street, Oxford Street, London,
writes: '6 I desire to acquaint you with the mar-
vellous recovery of my mother, aged fifty-seven,
who resides in I3erwick, Wilts, and who for many
years has been a helpless criple from rheumatism.
She was unable to move without assistance, and
continually suffering pain, much of the time endur-
ing the most intense agony. Her bands were
swollen to such an extent that she had not been
able to see her knuckles for a long time. Her feet
likewise had become quite deformed. During her
long suffering she had tried many things withoat
obtaining any relief, and she gradually grew worse,
until she, as well as I, had given up all hope of her
ever regaining her health. Hearing recently some
of the wonderful accounts of how St. Jacobs Oil
cured pain, I procured a bottle. little expecting she
would derive much, if any, benefit from its use.
But, incredible as it may seem, after the very first
application of this surprising Oil, she could walk
about without feeling any inconvenience, and the
swelling of her bands had become so far reduced
that they began once more to assume their natural
shape. Continuing tbe applications, she was in a
few days able to walk as well as ever she could,
and without experiencing any pain whatsoever.
She also regained the free and full we of her hands,
and she is, in fact, entirely cured, for she has had
no return of the trouble. She is to—day a well and
strong woman, and her cure is solely and entirely
due to three bottles of St. Jacobs Oil, which, to
quote the old adage, has certainly shown in my
mother's case, that it is worth its weight in gold
She desires me to say that she regards it as the
most wonierful thing in the world, and you are
quite at liberty to make what use you like of what
I have written."
Facts like these must convince even the most
snptical and prejudiced of the immense value of
the medical discovery referred to, and the public
will asree with the proprietors that there can be
nothing unbusinesslike in their advertising its
astonishing merits to the world.

LEICESTERSHIRE HANDICAP AND THE
CITY AND SUBURBAN.

On the concluding day, Saturday, the Leicester-
shire Handicap will be decided, and as the value of
the stake is £2,000, a good field of horses ate likely
to contest, At the time of writing

1
HAMBLETONIAN
is the favourite, and from what he has dose in a
home trial he has the confidence of a very astute
and powerful party. Whiteloek, who ran first for
this event last year, is again spoken highly of.
Likewise Arcadian and Dal Melly ran sufficiently
well at Lincoln to give them a good look ia here.
However, I shall plump for Sherrad's horse. Re.
garding the probable result of the City and Subur-
ban Handicap, run next Wednesday, the decision of
the Leicester event will materially effect at least the
market status of several candidates who hold dual
engagements. Therefore, extreme caution should
be exercised before an investment is made, and I
shall be pleased to let any of my readers have a
final telegram on the day of the race if they will
furniAh me with 12 stamps, and address to Travel-
ling Correspondent, care of " Tissue" Office, Hull,
as we shall then have witnessed the decision of the
big race at Leicester ; also seen the latest market
movements. At present for the Epsom event Mae
Ma 1,0,1 has received apparently genuine support,
and as he was only just beaten last year he may
again go very close, Crafton, 7st, is thrown in, and
he and Lonely may improve on their Lincoln ex.
hibition. Highland Chief and Royal Hampton are
a dangerous pair, and a move may be made in favor
of Harvester. Lady Castlereagh has been quietly
supported, Still lam most inclined to the chances
of
MACMAHON and ROYAL HAMPTON.
Reverting to the doings on the "classic "events
Minting has again recovered 'his market status for
the 2,000 Guineas, whilst Ormonde continues to
hold his position for the Epsom Derby, although
for the latter event there is a Lro%; bag disposition
to support Gay Hermit. Those 01 nay readers who
bent for the Final Wire on the No. toampton Stokes
day would be piqued at Sir Kenneth,
