4 National Blessing.
The nineteenth Century above all other
ages has been noted for its many inventions;
It has given Us the steam power in its thou
sand-fold applications. the Telegraph, the
Telephone, the Electric light and innumer.
able other discoveries, all blessings to hui
manity each day bringing US new surprises
until we have become SO accustomed to the
exhibitions of the genius of our century, that
any new development is at once received a. q
matter of natural consequence and most peo-
pie will simply remark, Il told you So" Az
an instance of this fact, We would only call
attention to that wonderful discovery st.
Jacobs OIL. A few years ago this great Ger.
man remedy had never been heard Of in
this country; to-day you can hardly find q
man, woman or child in the United States
who has not used the remedy for some
pain or ache, or, at least, has witnessed its
use and seen its wonderful effects on fellow
being. St. Jacobs Oil has become Nation
al remedy, for it is known in every city,
town, village and hamlet in tho country. It
Is q cosmopolitan preparation; for It is praised
by the Americans, Germans, Italians, Bo-
hemisns, Danes, swedes, Portuguese, Span
fards, French, yes, even by the Heather
Chinee." 1t may be termed the universal
blessing; for it is Endorsed by the rich and
poor, the clergyman and the physician, the
merchant and the laborer-in fact, by all
classes Of the community. st. Jacobs Oil
by its almost marvellous properties, can be
employed for . simple cut or sprain, or tho
worst case Of innammatory rheumatism.
Persons who have been confined to their
bed for years with that terrible disease,
rheumatism, have been completely cured
BY the use Of q single bottle Such cases
have been quoted by the leading journals
Of our country; for instance: The st. Louis
Post spatch says: Under the title Of Old
Probabilities, one of the most useful and
valuable officers Of the U. 8. Govesn-
ment, il most widely known. But quite as
well known is Prof. j. h. Tice, the meteo-
rologist of the Mississippi Valley, whose con-
tributions to his favorite study have given
him an almost national reputation. On re-
cent tour through the Northwest, the Pro-
lessor had a narrow escape from the serious
consequences of a sudden and very danger
Gus illness, the particulars Of which he thus
refers to: The day after concluding my
course of lectures at Burlington, Iowa, on
. sudden attack Of neuralgia in the chest,
giving me the most excruc:ating pain
and almost preventing breathing. My
pulse, usually eighty, fell to thirty-6ve; in
tense nausea OF the stomach succeeded, and
cold, clammy sweat covered my entire
body. The attending physician could do
nothing to relieve me; after suffering for
three hours, I Thoughts had been using
St Jacobs Oil with good effect for rheumatic
pains-I would try it. I saturated piece Of
flannel large enough to cover my chest, with
the Oil, and applied it. the relief was al
most instantaneous. In one hour / was en-.
tirely free from pain, and would have taken
the train to fill an app ointment that night in
Q neighboring town, had my friends not
dissuaded me. As it was, took the night
train for my home, St. Louis, and have
not been troubled since.-The Boston
Globe says: Chas. s. Strickland, Esq, Build
er, No. Bo;lston street and 106 Harrison
avenue, Boston, thus speaks: The pleasure
which hereby attempt to express, can only
be half conveyed by words. Physicians Of
very high char acter and notor!etf have here
tofore declared my rheumatism incurable.
Specifies almost numberless, have failed to
cure or even alleviate the intensity Of the
rsin, which has frequently confined me to my
room for three months at time. One week
ago was seized with AZ attack Of acute
rheumatism of the knee. In few hours tho
entire knee Joint became swollen to enorm-
Gus proportions and walking rendered impos-
sible. Nothing remained for me, and in
tended to resign myself, as best I might, to
another months agonies. By chance, !
learned of the wonderful curative proper
ties of St. Jacobs Oil 1 clutched it IS .
straw, and in few hours was free from pain
in knee, arm and shoulder. As before stated,
cannot find words to convey my praise and
gratitude to the discoverer Of this king Of
rheumatism.-The Chicago Times says: Every
body on the South Side knows j. D. L
Harvey, Esq, who has been resident Of
Chicago for over twenty years. Mr.. Harvey
expressed himself on the "oil subject" Is
follows: 81 have spent over $1,000 to euro
my wife of rheumatism. Two bottles Of st.
Jacobs Oil accomplished what all the med C Il
treatment failed to bring about. regard it
~ greater discovery than electricity. 1t
Il boon to the human race, and am
very glad to have this opportunity of tessi-
flying to its remarkable efficacy. 1 cannot
speak too highly of it, and Iwould be recreant
to my duty to those afflicted did l not lift my
voice in its praise."-The Philadelphia Ledger

years experience, and is actively connected
