A tour OF some of the prominent wholesale
and ettil druggists was taken to md out the
extent TO which this remedy Is being sold Ia
this city. Among these we're Van Schaak,
Stevenson * Co., L. ri, StOuNteLb Ig d Co.,
M'rrlsoD, Plummer a. @ =, II. A 'Huribut q c.,
and Buck IL Rayner. Members OF the seyefai
fTms We're In Every Case interviewed, and all
spoke In the highest terms Of the oil as selling
article, aud said that they had great difficulty
in keeping Up their stock, as the sales were
rapidly increasing. Nearly all said this was
the best selling proprietary medicine In the
market. In regard to its efficacy as a remedy,
most OF them said that they had the most fav
0rable reports from their customers, and some
testified from personal experience and obser-
vatOn 10 the beneficial results derived from Its
use. '...r .... I...I d. .t.f.f.
Among these latter was Mr.. Peter Van
Shack, the senior member of the well known
firm OF Van Shack, Stevenson & Co., whole
sale druggists, prOprietOrs OF the "Old Sala.
mander Drug House." Seated In his private
Office, he delivered himself to the writer as
follows: Wholesale druggists have but little
opportunity to obtain certain knowledge OF
the efficacy Of their goods. To this rule, how.
ever, ST. Jacobs Oil forms, with US, by far the
most conspicuous exception that ever knew
or. Many OF my personal friends, prominent
business men of high standing In society, have
tried the remedy and cannOt say enough In
lis favor. A severe case OF rheumatism was
treated with the med cue under my own OBJ
servatiOn, aid the results were really surpris-
ing. When all other remedies had failed,
this had proyei efficaciOus The reports
We hear from trustworthy sources
are all in Its favor. AS an article OF
sale, st. Jacobs Oil is really ma chess. You
may form an idea OF the popular favor which
it enjoys among the trade and the people
when tell you that nearly every order we re-
ceve, as l show you by the file (and we have
several thousand custOmsrs) includes st. ia
cObs Oil. You 500 that our sales OF the article
are probably better index of its popularity
than those OF other jobbng drug houses in the
Northwest, from the fact that as we employ
no sO-called summers" or commercial tourists,
our demands for 81. Jacobs OIL are not solicit
ed orders, but the imperative demands of the
retail trade and people,"
Mr.. George Barnes, OF the firm of Bagnall Il
Barnes, who has been commission merchant
on South Water street for more than fifteen
years, said that his wife had been severe
sufferer with neuralgia for years and had tried
many remedies in vain. st. Jacobs Oil is the
only thing that brought her relief, aud more
than that it cured her. He stated that he had
recommended IL to his neighbOrs and II gave
universal satisfaction wherever used.
Mr.. George X. COlson, Mail Carrier No. %,
had beea afflicted with severe lameness of
long standing in his right leg. He stated that
no had used st. Jacobs Oil with the same hap
by results given in the foregoing interviews
Few business houses are 30 well known
throughout the entire Northwest as that OF
Julius Bauer x Co., on Wabash avenue, the
dealers in pianos and musical instruments.
Mr.. Hermann Bauer, a member OF that house,
stated that from his own experience with the
ST. Jacobs Oil, and from general observations
Of its effect among his German friends, he
could endorse 1t in the highest terms. 1T IL
assuredly most excellent remedy" he added.
These interviews, as herein reported, should
be enough to satisfy the most skeptical, Of the
wonderful, almost miraculous properties con-
tanned In these little bottles.
AS for the writer, his mind was 80 bewilder-
cd with the revelations of the day that when he
stretched his tired limbs upon his dOwny
couch, sleep refused to settle upon his eyes
aud slumber forsook his eye-lids. Fitting
fancies pursued each other through his brains
with incOnceivable rapidly. Vain were bis
strlvings to capture these phantOms, until, I'm
ally, with an almost superhnman effort q
clutch was made in the air, and one OF these
children OF fancy was made captive. When
examined 1t was found to run as follows:
When weary and disc0nsOlate,
From earth's turmoil, O.,
Go west, young man, and cultivate
st. Jacob soil.
