ACROSS THE CONTINENT

GA Summer Jaunt through the
Old World"

The above is the title Of an interesting book
on foreign travels, just being published by Mr..
L. L. HOLDEN, one Of the editors Of the Boston
Journal, who accompanied DR.. ToURJEE's
grand Musical and Educational party Of tour
lists through the Old World during the Summers
Of 1873 and 1879. The undersigned was q mem
Der Of the party of 1879, and will vouch for Mr..
Holden as having done his work well, produc-
ing a spirited and highly entertaining book of
travel, which may be read with both profit and
pleasure 1t is a,Yolume of over $50 pages, illus
trated with 80 engravings Of noted places, neatly
printed and bound, and is altogether an attrac-
tive work. 1t applies to both the tours Of 1873
and 1879, and the countries visited were Ireland
Scotland England, Belgium, Holland, Ger
many, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, and France.
1t possesses many advantages over mere hand
book, in giving experiences Of varied charac-
ter which are liable to occur to the tourist, and
is of more practical benefit than the ordinary
book Of travel, as it contains the statistical in
formation which more properly belongs to the
guide-bOOk.
The price Of the book is $3.50; those who wish
it, by leaving their name and address with me
or at the FAYETTE COUNTY HERALD office, will
get it as soon as the work is published, which
will not be long, DR.. Tourjee informs me. AS
the number is limited, l would advise you to

A wonderful Record.

Myriads Of so-called "speeihcsn and "curesi
| Tor Rheumatism have already been brought be.
fore the public, and many Of them have even
been endorsed by the certificates OF respectable
and prominent citizens, who have derived bene-
nc from such preparations. There Is no doubt
that great many of these "Linimentsn "Oilsu
etc., so wildly advertised and freely recon
mehaed Ior rheumatism and painful complaints
OF similar nature, have genuine merit and will
relieve certain types OF the complaints named;
but when Rheumatism, Neuralgia, and kindred
diseases have become chronic and threaten seri-
GUS results, you may rest assured that they will
help but very little. Although not recommended
as "infallible,' the peculiar qualities OF sT. ia.
ooBs OIL especially adapt 1t to those cases
which may be termed "chronic," and which
have previously Withstood oil known ''specifcs,"
wei as the eprescrlptlonsoft ofthe best physicians
we would mention, as an example, the case Of
Mr. A. Heilman, Editor Of the Pittsburg RspBb-
heaR, who suffered with Rheumatism for two
years, After yainly using all the best recon-
mended remedies and eXhausting the skill Of
the most experienced physicians without even
temporary relief, 1t required only two bottles Of
81. JACOBS OIL 10 effect permanent cure. MIR.
Y. Hanni, aWell-known citizen OF YOunRst
Ohio, secured for his wife, who for twelve years
had been q constant sufferer from NEURALGIA in
the head the services OF the ablest physioians In
the land, but they were unable to do anything
for herr half bottle OF ST. JACOBS OIL cured
her. Mr.. VIM. ReinnQrdt Elmore, Wis, re-
ports the case Of neighbor who for twenty-f0ur
years had suffered so terribly with Rheumatism
that, at times, he could hardly move around; a
few bottles Of ST. JACOBS OIL cured him. @To
cap the climax" however, Mr.. A. Neiger, Of
TaylOryille, Pa, writes that his mother, who had
been continual sufferer with rheumatism for
the past thirty years. used one bottle Of ST. IA
0oBs OIL and was Immediately relieved Of all
pain. These are results which truly deserve to
be brOughtto the public notice; but they are not
exceptions, as viii beseen by the numerous other
certificates from all parts OF the United States.
II should be the duty of every one to call the at
tention Of his suffering friends and neighbors to
this wonderfully efllCacous preparation, espe-
cally as the low price OF so cents bottle places
it within the reach Of all persons, rich and poor.
