st. Jacobs Oil cures Rheumatism Of
this am convinced. For two years I suf-
fered with Rheumatism in my left shoulder
and right arm, and last fall was incapable
Of attending to my duties, and lay many a
night, unable to sleep on account Of terri
bic pains. A few weeks ago a severe at
tack Of this trouble struck me. and this
time L concluded to try the st. Jacobs Oil,
l must acknowledge, with but little conf
dence in its merits. freely confess that
the result has completely astOnished me.
The first application relieved the pain very
materially, and the continued use Of only
two bottles has completely cured me Of
tnls chronic evil, and that, after the most
eminent physicians and their prescriptions
had been Of no avail. I therefore consider
It duty to publish the above for the bene-
BIT Of all sufferers with Rheumatism and
kindred complaints. G. A. HEuMAN,

Catarrhal
POI son F.!

WEI DE MEYERS Treatise on Catarrh eI-
plains the following important facts:
I. THAT CATARRHAL COLDS become a poi
sonOus infection, at first local, and finally consti
tutional.
2. THAT, being constitutional, the infection is
beyond the reach Of mere local remedies.
g. THAT IMPURITIES in the nostrils are nee
essarily swallowed into the stomach and inhaled
into the lungs, thus poisoning the Digestive, Res
piratOry and Genito-urinary organs.
4. THAT CATARRHAL VIRUS follows the
mucous membrane and causes Deafness, Dyspep-
sia, Chronic Disrrhea, Bronchitis, Leucorrhea
and Consumption.
8. THAT SMOKES, Douches, InhaIations and
Insolubla Snutfs cannot possibly remove infec-
tious Inflammation from the organs named.
6. THAT AN ANTLDOTE for Catarrh must
possess an inoculative affinity for and the quality
of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous wher-
ever located.
Based upon these plain theories, Or. Wei De
Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved to be infauible.
not only relieves, It cures Catarrh at any stage.
