HOW HE GOT ELECTED,
cincinnati Ennnirer.

lNliCLlhidtA CLtquHSi.l
G. n. is a well-known downtown politi-
clan, and, as most of our readers know, he
has Just passed through a political canvass in
which he came out barely ahead. The writer
of this article learned yesterday from the
| lips Of Mr.. n. himself just how he got
| elected:
Mr.. N. said "When my name was first
mentioned by my friends, and determined
on making the race, everything pointed to
success. | ran around pretty well among the
boys. and no night seemed whit too long for
electione ring, SO made many night of it..
filed myself pretty well with hot toddy on
numerous occasions, and rushed around
through the cold of the nights, hot one min
ute and cold the next-but l was catching
votes that | knew. / was catching some-
thing else, too that I did not know-rheuma-
| tism. l caught the rheumatism badly and it
stuck to me-stuclI to me far better than my
| friends, for, while the former kept right with
me in bed, the latter were deserving and run
ming over to Jones, my opponent. A man
must go around in politics. Jones could get
around, and I could not. My limbs were
swollen and painful: l could not even turn
in my bed. 1 tried fifty so-called remedies,
all of them use'e At last friend of mine
said to me one day. N, why do you not try
the Great German Remedy, st. jacobs Oil?
Bah said l, it is nonsense NJ said
my friend, will purchase you FIVE bottles
of Oil, and if they do not cure you of your
rheumatism, L will make you present of
S10.' Agreed. said and if they do. gosh
blane me if don't make you a present of
S20.' You see | had no confidence in st.
Jacobs Oil, and thought had what the boys
call soft thing. He brought the Oil to my
Mr.. ?" queried the writer what did /
do? Why, gosh blang it, | paid the $50. L
am proud to say, sir, that before I had used
ONE bottle of st. Jacobs Oil 1 was out rout-
ed the enemy, horse and foot, and licked
Jones. Yes, sir: st. Jacobs Oil licked the
rheumatics, and then 1 licked Jones" " You
attribute your election, then, MIR. NJ" said
| the writer, 'to ST. Jacobs ON" 81 most Ger.
tainly do, sir. But for the Great German
Remedy, st. Jacobs Oil, would have been
in bed andeJones in Office"
MIR. n. is not the only one who speaks
| highly of St. Jacobs Oil. We hear commen-
dations from all classes and quarters. The
writer of this must confess that, though he
| heard so much of this great proprietary med
icine, he was until recently quite skeptical
regarding its merits. After his conversation
with the gentleman above referred to he
started on tour of inspection. This is what
it proved:
Mr.. 4. j. Boehmer, who has done business
/ at bne corner OF court ana cutter streets for
| fifteen years, in answer to our inquiry, said I:
81 would as soon think of leaving my pantry
without food as TO think of running my
place without the great German Remedy, st.
Jacobs Oil. sell more of it than of any other
article in my store. I sell it daily. All last
winter, or rather this one, for she still lin
gers in the lap of spring, I sold five or six
bottles day. You have no idea of the de-
msnd for that wonderful remedy. There hss
never been a proprietary medicine in the
market equal to st. Jacobs OIL Its great
demand is only equaled by its great curative
properties"
John Scott, druggist. at northwest corner
Seventh and Broadway, says: Il sell st.
Jacobs OIL right along, right along. Would
not or could not do without it. l have calls
for it daily, and hear of its cures from all
quarters. 1t is by far my most salable arti-
| Gle. Oh, yes; st. Jacobs Oil is wonderful"
| Michael Scully, plasterer and contractor of
No. Hand street, thus relates wonderful
cure !" was attacked with rheumatism last
| fall. and suffered the most circulating tor
ments through the fall and winter; my right
| leg was horribly swollen at the ankle and
knee, and left me completely powerless,
SO that l had actually to be turned in
my bsd. l had several able physicians
! waiting on me, but their efforts were useless
