A Nationa! Blessing.
lErom the Philadelphia Record.

The nineteenth century above all 9TH
er ages has been noted for It's many in
yentlOns; it has given us the steam pow
er In It's thousand-fold applications, the
telegraph, the telephone, the electric
light and lnnumerable other discoveries,
all blessing to humanity;-each day
bringing us new surprises until we have
become SO accustomed to the exhibitions
of the genius of our century, that any
new development is at once received as q
matter of natural consequence and most
people will simply remark, 81 told you
so" AS an instance OF this fact, we would
only call attention to that wonderful dis
covery st. Jacobs Oil. A few years ago
this great German remedy had never
been heard OF III this country; to-day
you can hardly find q man, woman or
child ID the United States who has not
used the remedy for some pain or ache,
or, at least, has witnessed its use and
seen it's wonderful effects on q fellow-be-
ing. st. Jacobs Oil has become a ma
tional remedy, for it is known in every
city, town, village and hamlet in the
country. 1t is a cosmopolitan prepare
ton; for it is praised by the Americans,
Germans, Italians, Bohemians, Danes,
Swedes, Portuguese, Spaniards, French,
yes, even the "Heathen Chinee." 1t
may be termed the universal blessing;
for it is endorsed by the rich and
the poor, the clergyman and the
physician, the merchant and the la
borer, in fact by all classes of the COM
munity. st. Jacobs Oil, by its almost
marvellous properties, can be employed
for simple cut or sprain, OF the worst
case Of inhammatory rheumatism. Per-
Sons who have been confined to their bed
for years with that terrible disease. rheu
matism, have been completely cured by
the use of a single bottle. Such cases
have been quoted by the leading
journals of the country; for instance
The st. Louis Post-Dispatch says: Gun
der the title of Old Probabilities, one of
the most useful and valuable officers of
the United States Government is most
widely known But quite as we'll known
is Prof. j. FL. Tice the meteorologist
OF the Mississippi Valley, whose con-
trlbut1ons to his favorite study have
given him an almost national reputation.
On recent tour through the Northwest,
the Professor had narrow escape from
the eerlous conseq uences of a sudden
and very dangerous illness, the particu-
Lars OF which ne thus refers to: The
day after concluding my course of lee
lures at Burlington, Iowa, on Dist De-
cember last, was seized with sudden
attack of neuralgia in the chest, giving
me the most excruciating pain and almost
preventing breathing. My pulse, usual
ly 80, fell to 30; intense nausea of the
stomach succeeded, and cold, clammy
sweat covered my entire body. The at
tending physician could do nothing to
relieve me; after suffering for three
hours, / thought, AS [ had been using
st. Jacobs Oil with good effect for rheu-
matte palms, would try it. I sat,1rat-
ed piece OF flannel large enough to
cover my chest, with the Oil, and ap-
piled it. The relief was almost instan-
taneous. In one hour ] was entirely
free from pain, and would have taken
the train to fill an appointment that
night in a neighboring town, had my
friends not dissuaded me. AS it was. I
took the night train for my home, ST.
Louis, and havenot been troubled since.'' -

Boston, thus speaks: "The pleasure
which L hereby attempt to express, can
only be half conveyed by words. Physi-
clans of very high character and noto-
riety have heretofore declared my rheu-
matism incurable. Specifics, almost
numberless, have failed to cure or even
alleviate the intensity of epain, which
has frequently confined me to my room
for three months at time. One week
