A National Blessing.

sand-fold applications, the Telegraph. the
Telephone, the Electric light and innumer-
able other discoveries, all blessings to hui
manity 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
matter Of natural consequence and most peo'
pie will simply remark, Il told you So" As
an instance of this fact we would only call
attention to that wonderful discovery st.
Jacobs Oil. A few years ago this great Ger
man remedy had never been heard OF In
this country; to-day you can hardly find o
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 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. 1t
Is a cosmopolitan preparation; for is praised
by the Americans, Germans, Italians, Bo-
hemians, Danes, Swedes, Portuguese, Span
iards, French, yes, even by the Heather
Chinee." 1t may be termed the universal
blessing; for it is Endorsed by the rich and
poor, the clergyman and the physician, the
merchant and the laborer-in fact by all
classes of the community. st. Jacobs Oil
by its almost marvellous properties, can be
employed for a simple cut or sprain. or the
worst case of in1ammatory rheumatism.
Persons who have been confined to their
bed for years with that terrible disease,
rheumatism, have been completely cured
by the use of single bottle. Such cases
have been quoted by the lead NC journals
Of our country; for instance: The st. Louis

Probab lities, one of the most useful and
valuable officers of the u. s. Govern
ment, is most widely known. But quite as
well known is Prof j. H. Tice, the meteo-
rologist of the Mississippi Valley, whose con-
tributions to his favorite study have given
him an almost national reputation. On re-
cent tour through the Northwest, the Pro-
lessor had narrow escape from the serious
consequences of sudden and very danger
GUS Illness the particulars of which he thus
refers to: The day after concluding my
course of lectures at Burlington, Iowa, on
21st of December last 1 was seized with
| sudden attack of neuralgia In the chest,
| giving me the most excruciating pain
and almost preventing breathing. My
pulse, usually eighty, fell to thirty-fve; in
tense nausea Of the stomach succeeded, and
cold, clammy sweat covered my entire
body. The attending physician could do
| nothing to relieve me; after suffering for
three hours, / thoueht--as l had been using
st. Jacobs OIL with good effect for rheumatic
| pains--I would try it. / saturated 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 Tree from pain, and would have taken
the train to fill an appointment that night in
neghboring town, had my friends not
dissuaded me. AS it was, took the n ght
train for my home, st. Louis, and have
not been troubled since.-The Boston
Globe says: Chas. s. Strickland, ESQ.,, Build

avenue. Boston, thus speaks: The pleasure
which hereby attempt to express, can only
be half conveyed by words. Physicians Of
very high character and notoriety have here
tofore declared my rheumatism incurable.
Specifics almost numberless, have failed to
cure or even alleviate the intensity of the
pain, which has frequently confined me to my
room for three months at time. One week
ago was seized with an attack of acute
rheumatism of the knee. In few hours the
entire knee joint became swollen to enorm.
GUS proportions and walking rendered impos.
sible. Nothing remained for me, and / In.
tended to resign myself, as best l might, to
another months agonies. By chance,
learned of the wonderful curative proper
ties of St. Jacobs OIL. / clutched 1t as q
straw, and in few hours was free from pair
in knee, arm and shoulder. AS before stated

gratitude to the discoverer Of this king OF

Harvey, ESQ.,, who has been resident Of
Chicago for over twenty years. Mr.. Harvey
expressed himself on the "oil subject" a:
follows: 81 have spent over $4,000 TO cure
my wife of rheumatism. Two bottles of st.
Jacobs Oil accomplished what all the med cal
treatment failed to bring about. / regard II
as a greater discovery than electricity. II
is boon to the human race, and am
very glad to have this opportunity of testi-
flying to its remarkable efficacy. cannot
speak too highly of it, and would be recreaut
to my duty to those afflicted did not lift my
voice In its praise."-The Philadel ohia Ledge,
saws: Mr.. George l. Graham, $40 Nineteenth
street, Philadelphia, is a journalist OF many
years experience, and is actively connected
with the Philadelphia Sunday Mirror, lead
ing theatrical and musical journal. During
the "late onpleasantness' Mr.. Graham was
Captain of Company X, One Hundred and
Eighty-third Pennsylvania Regiment and
through exposure in the field he contracted
variety of ills, and he says a very troublesome
case Of rheumatism in the right leg and foot
was a war inheritance that he had in vain
tried to get rid Of, until he was recommended
to try "St. Jacobs OIL" He states that he fell
a slight relief even on the first application oil
the Oil. Before the first bottle he purchased
hac 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 at
tributes entirely to the use of st. Jacobs Oil
He remarks: mo person need suffer with
rheumatism II st. Jacobs Oil can be obtained
to those who are afflicted with that com plant
It is worth its weight In gold. THE Chicago
Lnter-Ocedn says: Capt. Paul Boyton, the
world-renowned swimmer, thus speaks Of the
Old German Remedy: From constant
exposure l 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 suffering with rheumatism for years;
by my advice they tried the OIL, and It cured
