SIR. d. b. Cooke, who was Of one time

erv establishment Of Keen, Cooke& Co., Of
this CITY, but who Is at present the pur'

Company. was visited In bis private
once In the building OF that concern,
on Monroe street. Mr.. Cooke said that
he would gladly bear testimony to The ell
cscy of st. jacobs OIL In very stubborn
case OF rheumatism. The patient was q
very old lady. and mad such decided ob1ec-
lions TO publicity OF any kind that she
would not allow her name to be published
She had suffered for years from infiamma'
tory rheumatism, and had spent q large
amount OF money on medicine aud medlca'
attendance. Hearing OF the st. Jacobs Oii'
she requested Mr.. Cooke to get her 0o''ie
Of n. and he did so. The relief obtained
was almost instantaneous, and the old lady
fher age is eighty.one years. day'or TWO
ago stated that she felt so strong ana lWeiy
that. II she had mind 10, she could dance
with rs much ease as when she was girl.
The reporter expressed very strong desire
TO rubbish the name OF the old lady, but
Mr.. Cooke said that she would not, unuer
any circumstances, permit it, though, II
mn person desired TO do so, they conld CAL
on him. when he would provide them WITH
tbe fullest particulars in the case. Having
heard the name OF Mr.. Wesley Sisson, we'll
known LAWYER OF this city, mentioned In con-
nection with a wonderful cure, the reporter
visited him at his office, at No. 100 wash
jng,ou street. The statement which The re-
porter heard here was so wonderful that
had Il come from a less reliable source 1t
would have been deemed hardly trustwor-
thy. The gentleman stated that during me
summer months he paid visit to Mobile,
Ala. and that wbiie there he must have be-
come affected by the maaria vapors which
abound on the Gulf Coast, as, after his ar
rival home, three months ago, he took SICK
with the rheumatism. The malady attacked
him In the back and thighs, where 1t was
sciatic in its nature, and IN the arms and
shoulders, where it was OF the infiammatOry
type. After weeks OF agony which three
successively called doctors failed to cure, he
WAS recommended to buy the ST. jacobs
Oil, and after much opposition on his part,
as he did not believe that any externally
spDlied remedy could help so stubborn and
serious case, he consented, and sent for II
couple OF bottles. At this time his
condition was pitiable. The sciatic
pains which, arising IN the base OF
the backbone, extended through the MUS
cles Of both legs and into the knee, we're
caused by the slightest attempt OF bis to
move In bed, while his arms and shoulders
were so affected that he could not even feed
himself. The first application Of the new
remedy ended the trouble in the shoulders
and brought slight relief 10 the sclatic
pains. After two bottles had been used a
further marked Improvement was felt, md
IN another week be was cured and able 10

thirty pounds lighter in weight than when
he was first attacked with sickness; but,
thanks to four bottles OF st. Jacobs on,
we'll man. Mr.. Sisson was enthusiastic in
his Isudaion OF the remedy, which he hoped
would be sought by all who were suffering
as be bad been, and he said that he could
not find WORDS in which TO express his
gratitude for his cure. At the same time
be produced letter which he bad written
70 Messrs. Vogeler a. Co, the prOprietors Of
he remedy, describing the wonderful nature
Of his cure, the closing paragraph OF which
ran as follows: IF any person afflicted as
vas desires stronger testimonial, | shall tell
hem, if they call upon me, to give st. ia
,obs Oil fair trial; and now feel as though
could assure them the same grateful and
speedy relief that have experienced 1t
should be added that Mr.. Sisson had vanly
RED variety OF complicated and painful
treatments in the form Of baths, cuppings,
,tc., which had brought no relief, and that
le was on the point Of going to Hot Springs
when he was induced TO try the ST. Jacobs
Dill, with the happy results already de-
;cribed At the residence of Otto Whittier,
No. 246 Wabash avenue, cashier for four
years for Mr.. Ira Brown, the well-knOwn
zeal estate man, the news-gatherer
ound further evidences OF the cura-
i've power OF the wonderful remedy.
Mr.. Wintber said that a fortnight ago
ne had very sharp attack Of rheumatism
n the legs, which disabled him from attend
ug to his duties. Medical attendance had
allied to do him any good, and when a
riend recommended st. Jacobs Oil 10 him
,e at once tried a bottle, and with abso-
utely immediate benefit, which has been
as:ing, no symptom OF the trouble having
occurred since. He thought, though, that
be case Of Miss Mugan, girl living with
family in the same building, was, at least,
equally remarkable. Miss Mugan had for
eyeral days been suffering from neuralgia
n its most terrible form. The agony,
which rendered her almost crazy, gave way
