East, enjoyed the satisfaction OF astop-
over in Baltimore, and experienced the
additional pleasure of al agreeable visit
to the Laboratory and Offices of Messrs.
A. Vogeler & Co., whence he brought,
a souvenir of his call, a few bottles OF
that famous speciality OF the house
named-St. Jacobs Oil. Inasmuch as
these bottles have a history, and that
worth repeating, their record is sub
~stantially embodied in the following
lines. Without going into any elabor-
ate details, the facts are presented just
as they occurred or existed, and the OPP
p~ortunity for conclusion left open:
my right hand, which is also my left,
Gor it is the only n l have LETT be-
gan to swell and pain me whilst away
from home. Remembering st. Jacobs
Oil, l bathed the hand four times daily,
and at the end of a week it was well.
During that time it had concentrated
the soreness into a boil, which opened
and gave me some relief. st. Jacobs
Oil was the only remedy l used. To be
knocked down and run I'VE is not a
very pleasant experience; but it was
mine. About q week ago, while feeding
some colts and cattle at my farm, they
stampeded and knocked me down, and
l was badly hurt by being trodden upon.
/ was assisted into the house, and after
bathing the injured parts in warm wa
ter, they were rubbed with st. Jacobs
Oil. This treatment was followed
night and morning, and this morning /
am going about without help, and am
free from pain. The ankle joint and
instep of my left foot are yet swollen
at the time of writing, but this is rap
idly abating under the influence of the
st. Jacobs Oil. That the injuries were
severe is certain, and that Great Ger
man Remedy did wonders for me is
also certain. 1t should be included in
every family's supplies, as such a rene
is liable to be called for at any moment
Of day or night. This state of affairs
was bad enough, but to suffer with a
lame back for twenty-five years seems
far worse. Now, what I consider a
better test than any, is the way its ap-
plication resulted in the case Of my
wife, who, for more than twenty-five
years, had been troubled with lame
back. Every time she took cold OF
made any eXertiOn III doing household
work, she would have to suffer with
great pain in the back, just across the
hips. We tried electricity and other
treatment with only temporary relief.
Her sufferings were at times intense .
nor could she rise up without help OF
walk erect. Thinking that what had
relieved IL pain, might help her, we
tiled st. Jacobs Oil, with great and
god results. We apply the Oil night
and morning, rubbing it in well. The
first application gave such relief that
we continued it, and, l am glad to say,
with prime success. My wife in in
dorsement of this, says she could not
stoop or even lift a pound, and
is o able to walk and work
without any pain. One of my men.
who had exposed himself, was attacked
with severe neuralgia pains in the
neck and face. He rubbed the afflicted
portions with the st. Jacobs Oil AZ
night, rested well and went to his
work IN the morning as usual-cured.
Now, l have never before in my life
given a statement or Endorsement to
any remedy; IN fact have always been
opposed to doing any such thing, as my
experience heretofore has not been sat
isfactory with proprietary medicines;
but when | have such positive evidence
of good results from using st. Jacobs
Oil, | feel it proper that my experience
should be known. shall always keep
plenty of it in the house and on the
