pie will simply remark, al told you son As
IN instance of this fact, we would only call
attention to that wonderful discovery St.

man remedy had never been heard of In
this country; to-day you can hardly find .
man, woman or child in the United States

pain or ache, or, at least, has witnessed it's
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 the country. Il
Is cosmopolitan preparation; for 1t is praised
BY the Americans, Germans, Italians Boz
hemians, Danes, Swedes, Portuguese, Span
fards, French, yes, even by the " Heather
Chinee." 1t may be termed the universal
blessing; for 1t is Endorsed by the rich and
poor, the clergyman and the physician, tho
merchant and the laborer-in fact, BY all
classes OF the community. st. Jacobs Oil
oy its almost marvellous properties, can be
employed for simple cut or sprain. or the
worst case Of innammatory rheumatism.
