FOR A FORTZNE„
From " The Earthwgrna Standard,"

In the !irnes, when fortluo, are made and lost
in a day—when many a man is rich to-day ant
per t.)-morrow ; in these times of limited liability
companies and joint stock Ppeoulations, one
should be very careful of his investirnews. Ol-
and tried remedies, like old and reputable firms
s :ould always b 3 sought after preference to new
and un!rie,l experiments, by the invester. If thi.
advice was always followed, the result would be
far tame satistaetnry than tho*.e.sometimes obtai led,
as in the else ot Mrs. William Press, of Sayers'
Con:mon, Ilucstp.erpoint, &trier, who states that
a friend of hers who used St Jacobs Oil for
rhennovislu add: -"She would not be without his
marvellous remedy for a fortune. Mrs. Press
tougirt if th3t was the case, she would give it a
trial herself, having been eeriopsly afflicted for
many years with rheumatic an neuralgic pains to
her head, shoulders, end arms, for which she had
tried many of the new rxiAriments siti.d to cure
rheumatism and neuralgia, but which cost her a
g'eat deal of money and from the use of which she
received ao benefit. ctin.; on the advice of her
friend, se immediately. plocuxed St. Jacobs Oil,
and by frequent zipidicAt ions, -iae pain from which
she had suffered so long Was quite removed, and
she now enjoys good hcaLh, is free from pain, and
happy ;60 Oh 9, too, a,torally thinks she would
