A National Blessing.

our century, that any new development is at
once received as a matter of natural conse-
auence and most people will simply remark,
II told YOU So" AS an instance of this fact,
we would only call attention to that wonderful
discovery, St Jacobs Oil few years ago this
great German emedy 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 the remedy 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 national remedy, for it is known
in every city, town, village, and hamlet in the
country. 1t is cosmopolitan preparation, forit
is praised by the Americans, Germans, Italians,
Bohemians, Danes, Swedes, Portuguese, Span
iards, French, yes, even by the "Heathen Chi
nee" 1t may be termed the universal blessing;
for it is indorsed by the rich and poor, the
clergyman and the physician, the merchant and
the laborer, in fact, by all classes Of tho
community. st. Jacobs Oil, by its al
most marvellous properties can be en-
ployed for simple cut sprain, or the
worst case OF infammatory rheumatism. Per-
sons who have been confined to their bed for
years with that terrible disease, rheumatism,
have been completely cured by the use Of a
single bottle. Such cases have been quoted by
the leading Journals of our country; for in

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 meteo-
rologist of the Mississippi Valley, whose contri-
buttons to his favorite study have given him an
almost national reputation. On a recent tour
through the Northwest, the professor had a
narrow escape from the serious consequences Of
sudden and very dangerous illness, the par
ticulars Of which he thus refers to: The day
after concluding my course Of lectures at Bur
hngton, Iowa, on 21st December last, was
seized with a sudden attack Of neuralgia in the
chest giving me the most excruciating pain
aud almost preventing breathing. Ny pulse,
usually So fell to 35; intense nausea OF the
stomach succeeded. and cold, ciammy sweat
covered nv entiro body. The attending physi-
clan could do nothing TO relieve me; after suf-
fering for three hours. 1 thought, as had been
using ST. Jacobs Oil with good effect for
rheumatic pains, would try it. l saturated a
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 ill appointment that
night in a neighboring town, had my friends
not dissuaded me As it was, l took the
| night train for my home, st. Louis, and have
not been troubled since. The Boston Globe
says: Chas. 5. Strickland, Esq, Builder, No.

Boston, thus speaks: The pleasure which I
hereby attempt to express, can only be half
conveyed by words Physicians Of very high
character and notoriety have heretofore de-
clared my rheumatism incurable. Specifics,
almost numberless, have failed to cure or even
alleviate the intensity Of the pain, which has
frequently confined me 10 my room for three
months at a time. One week ago ! was

Bv chance, / learned Of the wonderful curative
properties Of ST. Jacobs Oil. I clutched it is
straw, and in a few hours was free from
pain in knee, arm and shoulder. As before
stated I cannot find words TO convey my
praise and gratitude TO the discoverer of
this king Of rheumatism. The Chicago
Timcs says: Everybody on the South side
knows J. D. l.. Harvey, Esq, who has been
resident Of Chicago, for over twenty years.
Mr.. Harvey expresses himself on the "ol sub
ice" as follows Il have spent over $4,000 to
cure my wife of rheumatism. Two bottles of
St. Jacobs OIL accomplished what all the medi-
cal treatment failed to bring about. 1 regard
it is as greater discovery than electricity. 1t
is boon 10 the human race, and am very
glad to have this opportunity Of testifying to
its remarkable efficacy. l can not speak too
highly OF it. and / would be recreant to my
duty to those afflicted did ! not lift my voice in
its praise" The Philadelphia Ledger says:
MIR. Geo,ge l. Graham, s2O Nineteenth street
Philadelphia is journalist Of many years OK
perience and is actively connected with the
Philadelphia Sunday Mirror, leading theat-
rical and musical journal. During the "lAte

| Company K, 1S3d Pennsylvania Regiment and
| through exposure in the field he contracted a
variety of ills. and he says very troublesome
case Of rheumatism in the right leg and foot
was a war inheritance that he had in vain triad
to get rid Of, until he was recommended to try
''St. Jacobs Oil" He states that he feit a
slight relief even on the first application Of the
Oil. Before the first bottle 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 entirely TO the use Of st. Jacc hs OH.
he remarks: ''No person need suffer with
rheumatism If St Jacobs Oil can be htaiued;
to those who are afflicted with that compliant
1t ID worth its weight in gold" The Chicago
Intc1-Ocedjl says; Captain Paul Boyton, the
world-rcnowned swimmer, thus speaks Of the
Old German Remedy: From constant exposure
am somewhat subject to rheumatic pains, and
nothing would ever benefit me, until got hold
of this Old German Remedy. Why, on my
travels have met people who had been suffer
ing with rheumatism for years; by my advice
they tried the OIL. and it cured them. would
sooner do without food for days than be with
ont this remedy for one hour. In fact l would
not attempt trip without st. Jacobs Oil as ]
do not see how L could get along without it.
ST. Jacobs OIL has been endorsed by persons of
national reputation; who would not lend their
names if they were not convinced that it was
duty they owed to suffering humanity; they
have experienced the wonderful effect of the
great German remedy and they want their
fellow-crcatures to know the result. We would
only mention in this connection the Rt. Rev.
Bishop Gilmour. Cleveland, Ohio: Excellent
for rheumatism and kindred diseases. 1t has
benefited me greatly.-Mme. Marie Salvotti,
