ticular was enthusiastic In his praise
Of the Oil. He had been very sick

ing articles they had handled for many
years. When questioned as to the
merits of the remedy he referred the
writer to one Of their employees who
had used it. This latter party iRform-
ed the news gatherer that about ak
weeks ago he had severe attack OF
rheumatism with which he was laid up
for somo days. The St.Jacob's Oil was
ased on him and he stated with nuch
satisfaction that it promptly banished
all pain and discomfort. His mother
was also cured Of rheumatism by its
use.
It should be remarked here that the
houses of Strong, Cobb Il Co. and Ben

ana largest in the West. They have
both existed here for nearly quarter
Of 9 century and from their statements
correct idea can be formed OF the pop

Mr.. Theodore lively, tobacco and
cigar dealer, located at 100 Seneca st.,
was recently laid up with rheumatism
so that he couldn't walk. After lib
eral use Of various preparations he pur-
chased q bottle Of st. Jacobs Oil, and,
to use his own expression, "It was the
first thing to Aford him anything like
relief" He has since completely re-
covered and now regards the Oil as the
foremost thing Of its kind in existsnce.
Mr.. Byron Pope, formerly Deputy
Sheriff, is a gentl smsn who has put St.
Jacobs Oil to q thorough test. A MEM
Der Of his family was atllicten with the
rheumatism Of the most severe charae-
ter, particularly in her shoulder and
and fiHgers OF both hands. For asfew
days At . time she was unable to move
the fngers without undergoing great
pain, and it was not until an applica-
tion OF this Oil had been made that she
experienced q change for the better.
She is now fres from the dreaded all
ment, and does not hesitate to accord
full praise where it Is due. Mr.. Pope,
in his present position in the business
department Of his Office, has succeeded
in getting no inconsiderable portion of
the Plain Dealer force to join the Sin
Vulnerable oRrsvan, which, swelling
daily, shout aloud in fulsOms praise
of the virtues Of this deadly enemy Of
pain.
Our reporter was impressed with the
uuanimity OF public sentiment regard
ing this remedy. All who were Sp-
preached spoke readily, many even
enthusiastically, of its excellent work
ings in the most serious cases Of bodily
ailment. "Nevor saw anything like
it," and Gall that it is claimed % be-"
were the most common remarks from
gentlemen whose utterances carry
weight. All in all when summed up
1t must be plain to every fair minded
man that never in the history Of eur
country has q medical discovery been
brought before the public and accepted
with such universal expressions OF fa
vor as this great German remedy.
