GENTLEMEN Allow me, as an old
reader Of your valued Journal, herewith to
send you few lines, which please insert in
You next issue. wilkyouch tor their truth,
and know that by thef publication u great
deal Of good will be accomplished. HAY
ing been reader Of your paper for many
years, | hope you will kindly grant my re.
quest.
For twelve years l had suffered, from
time 10 time, terribly with Rheumatism, 70
such an extent that was unable 10 move
about and lost the use OF my limbs. !
tried everything recommended to effect d
cure, consulted some Of the most
prominent physicians and expended large
sums Of money, hoping to find relief, but
without any siccess. CHANGING over the
columns Of the "Wachcr,' | read about
the 81. J acobs Oil and. the many cures this
remedy had Effected, Having been disap-
pointed so many times, lost all faith IN
any remedy, the St Jacobs Oil included,
until saw one day that II had cured a
weIl-knogn citizen with whom ] am &C
Quaintede Other parties fully endorsed the
value and wonderful powG Of thcAil, tell
ing me that il had cured them Of different
ailments IN q very short time. This
brought me 10 a conclusion. | said TO my
self, "Schwe.zer, fifty cents won't break
YOU" so went to my druggist, Mr.. Book,
bought bottle of the Oil! and must now
confess that the result was truly wonderful.
] used it every two hours, and found rcIlet
Immediately upon the first application, and
the pain ceased entirely after few more
applications. Fearing new attack, re-
NAMED in bed and continued to use the
remedy every three hours. All pain hay
ing left me, | arose from my bed and
walked down stairs without any trouble.
Since that time have been able to fol-
low my occupation and feel no pains or in
convenience, however d.sagreeable the
changes of the weather may be. Having
thoroughly ;ested the -, Jacobs OIL, can
conscicntiously recommend it TO all
afflicted with Rheumatism. Fifty cents is
a small expense when the services for so
mhing AN outlay are considered II was
one thousand miles away from all human
habitation. ! should, nevertheless, procure
this remedy and keep it always in my
house. LOUIS SCHwERER,
