two months ago.
This was the story OF his cure by st. Jacobs Oh
as told by Capt Jack Mclean, who for fifty year:
has been resident Of Norfolk and Portsmouth,
and who is as we'll known in Norfolk and Ports

Of others that through NJ. McLaan's instrumea
tally, had been brought about by the use of 81,
Jacobs OIL. After ad told the story of his owl
case we ash ed him about the others, and he dij
not hesitate to relate them.
One was the case Of druggist fcom Warrent IN
North Carol na, who While OF a business trip to
Norfolk, during the recent Snowy ana slaaty spell
bad the misfortune to fall On the ice and bruised
himself very ly, much 50 shat he WAS con-
fined to his room q: his hotel. Mr. McLe II
happened TO visit the hotel when he heard
Of the accident. and having formed the ac.
quair'ance Of the gent euan injured, advised
him to give st Jacobs Oil a trial. The druggis,
consentirg, Mr. Mclean brought him SO n. OF his
Cll, which he applied, and with such happy re-
suit that he was enabled to go on his way home re-.
joicing Another case. was that of Mr. Walter
Howard, well-known fish and oyster dealer in our
city. Mr.. Howard had also during the recent
sleety spell fallen and injured himself Being init
mate with Mr.. Howard. Mr. Mclean says he sought
him, and finding what his injuries were, he recon-
mended the use Of the Oil. che result, as a the
previous case, was q cure-ar Il q thorough cure.
Mr.. Howard is now firm believer in the curative
properties of st. Jacobs Oil.
But more remarkable cure than all of the rest
and which cur reporter had heard Of before hay
ing any knowledge of Mr.. McLean's connect on
with the case-was that of venerable lady about
seventy years Of age, who, soma two weazs a.,o
while SEATED at the supper table, was stricken with
paralysis, 'he whole of her left side being afflicted
Her speech was even affected. The family physi-
clan was sent for. ana he at oncs prescribed the
usua remedies, b 1t without effect. The old lady
was a Tardl'y connection of the wife Of Mr.. Nc
Lean, and Mrs. Mclean on hearing of her q fl &C.
ton visited the house, and learning that no relief
had been secured from the PHYSICIANS remedy re-
commended the use OF st. Jacobs OIL relating its
effect on her husband. The oil was procured and
applied. The afflicted side WAS vel rubbed and
partial feeling was restored The second day after
the first application the afflicted lady able to
sit up, and the third day she was well enough to
sew. Since then she goes about the house appar-
emily as vel as she ever was, aud she con
sMers that sha owes her life to the great
lin in a.
These statements of cures coming to our
notice frcm our interview with Mr.
Mclean, brought to our recollection statement
made to us by Prof. G.. L. Cromwell, who last Feb
ruary exhibited in our city his beautiful Art Illus
trations" at the Opera House. which each nisht
attracted crowded and cultivated audiences. 1t
was in connection with his rec endation to a
gentleman wlo was suffering a great deal from
rheumatism. and who on that account had been
unable to attend the exhibitions. Prof, Orom vel
advised Kim to try st. Jacobs Oil-eyep urged him
to do so-and at last bought him a bottle of the
Oil, that he might have no excuse for not using.
The gentem however, Was then under the treat
ment CT his physician, and did not the Oil. In
explanation of the desire his part why the Oil
should be used, Prof Cromwell stated that he had
some year or so before suffered eIcTuciat!ng tor
ments from Rheumatism, and that he had tried all
kinds of medicines and 90 called cures-all witnoat
effect He heard, however, of ST. Jacobs OIL and
stated that ts effect him was almost magical. A
complete cure vas effected, aud since thea he had

facts regarding the saia OF the Oil. He visited,
among others, the house OF WalEe X Williams and
saw LII. Wake, who Informed him that the demand
for the Oil was simply wonderful. He stated that
it exceeded the demand for any patent medicine
he had ever handled, and this was saying a great
