FROM the Sturgis, Michigan Weekly:
Mr.. John Brast. living in Sherman town
ship, informed us few days ago that his
feet had been so terribly frost-bitten that
he could hardly stand the pains caused
thereby. He happened to think of Saint
Jacobs Oil-which he always keeps
handy-rubbed his feet twice with the
remedy, and the pain disappeared en-
tirely. He not only values St. Jacobs
Oil as an unexcelled remedy for great
many other painful diseases, to which
mankind is subject, but he almost asserts
that it is really invaluable for the many
diseases horses and stock are subject to,
and which so often play havoc with the
prospects of the farmer and stock-raiser.
