the nature Of the matter furnished by
its patrons. This, OF course, does moi
precl ade the publication OF extrave
giant and even unwarranted statements;
proper apprehension OF this fac
might often prevent such experiences
as have led to q Wholesale aud unjust
deuunicstion Of the advertising public.
Phat in this age Of progress and invsn.
ton much which seems doubtful upon
its face is In reality founded upon fact
would appear from the following. The
wonderful results said TO have been
secul cd by an article now very gener'
ally before the public led q Tribune
reporter to make numerous interviews,
the results of which are here With Civ
en-: Mr.. d. B. Cooke, who was at one
time member Of the extensive book
and stationery establishment Of K'eu.
Cooke & Co., OF this city, hnt who is 81
p,e!ent the purchasing agent OF the
American Express Company, was viSit
ed in his private Office in the building
of that concern on Monroe street. Mr..
Cooke said that he would gladly beGr
testimony to the efficacy OF st. jacobs
Oil in very stubborn case Of rheuna-
tism. The patient WAS very old lady,
and had such decided objections to
publicity of any kind that she woul /
not allow her name to be published
She had suffered for years from inilam
atpry rheumatism, and had spent a
large amount Of money on medicine
and medical attendance.
Hearing Of ST.. jacob Oil, shs re-
questsd Mr.. Cooke to get her bottle
Of II, and le did so. The relie' obtain
ed was almost instantaneous, and the
old lady Cher age is 81 yesrs) day or
two ago stated that she felt go strong
and lively that, il she had MUD to,
she could dance with as much ease al
when she was girl. The reporter ex
! pressed very strong desire to publish
the name Of the old lady, but Mr..
Coke said that she would not, under
any circumstances. permit it, though,
if any person desired to do so, they
could call on him, when he would pro
vide them with the fullest particulars
iu the case. Having heard the name
Of Mr.. Wesley Sissop, Well-known
lawyer of this city, mentioned in con.
nection with a wonderful cure, the Ee
porter visited him at his Office At No.
lG9 Washington street. The statement
which the reporter heard here was SO
wonderful that, had It cone from q
less reliable source, it would have been
deemed hardly Trustworthy. The gen
tleman stated that during the summer
months he had paid visit to Mobile,
Alabama, and that, while there, lie
must have become affected by the ma
larisl vapors which abound on the
gulf coast, as, after his arrival home,
three months ago, he took sick with
the Rheumatism. The malady attack
ed him in the baelrand ~ gas, where
| it ia sciatic in It's nature, and in the
arms and shoulders, whers it was Of
tie inAammatory type. After weeks o.
agony which three sucoessively called
doctors failed to cure, he was recon-
me oded to buy the st. Jacobs Oil, and
after much opposition on his part, az
be did not believe that any externally
applied remedy could help &c
stubborn and serious case, he con
sented and sent for couple of bottles
Al this time his condition was pitiable
The sciat pains which, arising il
the base Of the backbone, extende1
through the muscles Of both legs anc
into the knee, Were caused by the
slightest attempt of his to move in bed
while his arms and shoulders were sC
affected that be could mot even feed
himself. The first application of thu
new remedy ended the trouble in The
shoulders and brought slight relief tt
the sciatic pains. After two bottles hao
teen used further marked improve
ment was felt, and in another week he
was cured and able TO 60 to his Office
and attend 10 his business-thil ty
pounds lighter in weight than when he
was first attacked with sickness; but
thanks to.four bottles5of st.Jscob's Oil
a well man. Mr.. Sisson was enthusiss
tic in his Iaudation of the remedy,
which he hoped would be sought by all
who were suffering as he mad beep, and
be said that he could not find words in
which to express his gratitude for his
cure.
At the same time he produced c letter
which he had written to Messrs. Vogeler
& Co., the proprietors of the remedy,
describing the wonderful nature OF his
cure, the closing paragraph Of which
ran as follows : "lf cry person afflicted
as was desires q stronger testimonial,
shall tell tksn, If they call upon me,
10 give St. Jacobs OIL a fair trial;
and now fecl as though could assure
them the same grateful and speedy Re
lief that l have experienced" 1t
should be added that Mr.. Sisson had
vainly tried a variety OF complicated
and painful treatments in the form OF
baths, cuppings, etc., which lad
brought no relief, and that he was on
the point of going to the Hot Springs,
when he was iudrced to try the St.
Jacobs Oil, with the happy results al
ready described.
At the residence Of Otto Winther,
No. 246 Wabash avenue, cashier fol
four years for Mr.. Ira Brown, the well
known real estate man, the news gath
erer found further evidences of the GU
rativs power Of the wonderful remedy.
Mr.. Wlnther said that fortnight aeo
he had a very sharp attack of rheuma.
tism ia the legs, which disabled him
from attending to his duties. Medicsl
had failed to do him any
good, aud when friend recomme ended
ST, Jacobs Oil 10 him be at once tried a !
bottle, and with absolutely immediate
benefit, which has been lasting, no
symptom OF the trouble having recur'
red since. He thought, though, that
