its thousand fold applications, the Tele-
graph, the Telephone, the Electric Light
and innumerable other discoveries, all
blessings TO humanity-each day bring
ing US new surprises until we have be-
come 80 accustomed to the exhibitions OF
the genius of our century that any new
development Is at once received as a mat
ter of natural consequence, and most peo-
pie will simply remark, II told you So"
AS an instance of this fact. we would only
call attention to that wonderful discov-
cry, st. Jacobs OIL A few years ago this
great German remedy had never been
heard of in this country; to-day you can
hardly find man, woman or child in the
United States who has not used tho rem
edy for some pain or ache, or, at least,
has witnessed its use and seen Its won
derful effects on a fellow being.
st. Jacobs Oil has become q national
remedy, for 1t Is known in every city,
town, village and hamlet In the country.
1t is cosmopolitan preparations for it is
praised by the Americans, Germans, ltal-
ians, Bohemians. Danes, Swedes, Portu-
| guese, Spaniards, French, yes, even by
the Heather C6inee." 1t may be termed
| the universal blessing; for 1t Is Endorsed
by the rich and poor, the clergyman and
the physician, the merchant and the Ia
borer, in fact by all classes OF the COM
munity. st. Jacobs Oil, by It's almost
marvellous properties, can be employed
for a simple cut or sprain, or the worst case
of infiammatOry rheumatism. Persons
who have been confined to their bed for
years with that terrible disease, rheuma-
tism, have been completely cured by the
use OF single bottle. Such cases have
been quoted by the leading journals OF
our country; for instance:
The st. Louis Post Dispatch says:
! Under the title OF Old Probabilities, one
OF the most useful and valuable officers
OF the u. S. Government is most widely
known. But quite as well known is Prof
j. II. Tice, the meteorological OF the Mis-
sissippi Valley, whose contributions to
his favorite study have given him an al
most national reputation. On a recent
tour through the Northwest, the Pro-
| lessor had "a narrow escape from the Sc
rious consequences OF sudden and very
! dangerous illness, the particulars OF which
he thus refers to: The day after conclud-
ing my course of lectures ut Burlington,
Iowa, on the 2lst December last l was
seized with a sudden attack of neuralgia
in the chest, giving me the most excru-
ciating pain and almost preventing breath
! ing My pulse, usually so, fell TO 35; in
tense nausea OF the stomach succeeded,
and a cold, clammy sweat covered my
entire body. The attending physician
| could do nothing to relieve me; after suf-
! fering for three hours, | thought-aS l
had been using st. Jacobs Oil with good
! effect for rheumatic palms, would try it,
| l saturated a piece of flannel large
enough TO cover my chest, with the OIL
and applied it. The relief was almost in
Simultaneous. In one hour l was entirely
! free from pain, and would have taken the
train to fill an appointment that night in

train for my home, St Louis, and have
not been troubled since.
The Boston Globe says: Chas. S. Strick-
land, Esq. Builder, No. Boylston street
and LOG Harrison avenue, Boston, thus
/ speaks: The pleasure which L hereby
attempt to express can only be half con-
veyed by words. Physicians OF very
high character and notoriety have here
tofore declared my rheumatism incura-
! BILE. Specifics, almost numberlesS, have
! failed to cure or even alleviate the in
tensity of the pain, which has frequently
confined me TO my room for three months
at time. One week ago l was seized
with an attack of acute rheumatism OF
the knee. In few hours the entire knee
! Joint became swollen to enormous pro-
portions and walking rendered impossi-
BILE. Nothing remained for me, and / in
tended to resign myself, as best / might

critics of st. Jacobs Oil. clutcl ed it as
a straw and in n few hours was free from
pain in the knee, arm and shoulder. AS
before stated, cannot find words TO con-
vey my praise and gratitude to the dis
coverer of this king of rheumatism.
The Chicago Times says: Everybody on
the South Side knows j. ID. l.. Harvey,
| ESQ, who has been resident of Chicago
! for over twenty years. Mr.. Harvey ex-
pressed himself on the "oil subject" as
follows: az have spent over 1000 to cure
! my wife of rheumatism. Two bottles of
st. Jacobs Oil accomplished what all the
medical treatment failed to bring about.
/ regard 1t as a greater discovery than
electricity. 1t is boon to the human
! race, and am very glad to have this OPP
portunity of testifying to its remarkable
efficacy. 1 cannot speak too highly Of
! 1t, and would be recreant to my duty TO
those afflicted did 1 not lift my voice in
its praise"
The Philadelphia Ledger says: Mr.. Geo.
I. Graham, 500 Nineteenth street, Phila-
delphia, is a journalist of many years
experience. and is actively connected
with the Philadelphia Sunday Mirror, a
leading theatrical and musical journal.

Graham was Captain OF Company X, One

Regiment and through exposure In the

he says very troublesome case OF rheu-
matism In the right leg and foot was
war inheritance that he had in vain tried
to get rid of, until he was recommended
to try "St Jacobs OIL" He states that
he felt slight relief even on the first ap
plication of the Oil. Before the first bot
tie he purchased had been used up he
had but few traces OF his rheumatism,
and at this time he says the disease has
entirely left him. which he attributes en-
tirely to the use Of st. Jacobs Oil. He
remarks: mo person need suffer with
rheumatism IL ST. Jacobs Oil can be OBJ

that complaint it Is worth it's weight In
gold"
