met Mr.. II. according to appointment,
and was soon placed in position to make
my investigations, and with the following
result:
Mr.. W. c. Coup himself, the head and
front OF the show, has been rheumatic SUI
ferer for some years, brought on mainly by
exposure in the pursuit of his peculiar bust
ness. lie never found any permanent relief
antil he tried st. Jacobs Oil, and, while he
aus entirely recovered, he always takes
several bottles OF the remedy with him
when he goes on the road, and has recon-
fnended many Of his people TO do the same
thing.
Mr.. W. ID. IIagar is one Of the managers
al NC. Coup's Show and has been in the
circus and show business for many years.

IIagar has been using st. Jacobs Oil with
excellent effect, and the acute rheumatic
pain. rom which he suffered for many
months. has been removed by the Great
German Remedy. Mr.. HagIr says lac
would not be without st. Jacobs Oil on any
account. and lie considers it the finest
specific for rheumatic complaints ever dis
covered
Mr.. A. Nahans j; another manager OF
Coup's Show. His name has been promi-
nently identified with the circus business
for many years, and he has had control OF
many OF the most celebrated circus compa-
mics in the United States. What has been
said about Mr.. Coup and Mr.. lIagar with
regard to rheumatism and st. Jacobs Oil
applies with equal force to Mr.. Nathans.
The hniment relieved his rheumatic pains
when nothing else--pOt even the best medi-
cal treatment--did him any good worth
He j. enthusiastic in his
praise of the Oil. and thinks it is an eX-
cellent thing for circus organizations to
take with them while travelling.
Another strong advocate OF the great
German Remedy Is Mr. /. JukeS, now con-
nected with Coup's Show. but who has
been associated with i. Il. Barnum in his

This gentleman has been using -. Jacobs
Oil for rheumatic affections with the most
gratifying results.
One of the greatest bareback riders is
Mr.. George Melville, now with Coup's
Show, and who came TO this country with
an enviable European reputation. Soon
after his arrival here Mr.. Melville became
subject TO rheumatic attacks, which affected
him so that he could ride at times only with
great difficulty. lie tried everything, and
only obtained permanent relief by using
st. Jacobs Oil. Mr.. Melville says he feels
safe from rheumatism as long As he can OIL
tain st. Jacobs Oil, and he hopes when lac
returns to Europe to find that the Oil has
been introduced there. He uses the Oil
when he feels pain Of any kind. Mr..
James Melville, the father OF the great bare
back rider, also connected with Coup's
Show, has been greatly benefited by the use
Oh st. Jacobs OH since ne has been in the
United States.
