Arriving at my hotel, it was not long before was
engaged in conversation with a gentleman there

to him: " Is ST. Jacobs Oil for the Rheumatism

made its appearance in Boston but little WAS

fed that the Hubites had the st. Jacobs Oil fever
bGd-quite as bad, If not even worse, than the Phil
adelptlals have. L found also that the fever ex-
tended to the other New England towns and cities
and that it had fairly taken hold of the people of
Hartford, New Havea. Springfield, Providence
Bridgeport and other places.
1t was an easy matter to hear s'l sides the

results Of the Great German Remedy: and | think
it would scarcely be doing right to suffering people

We lie, thus speaks: The pleasure which he eby
sttempt TO express can only be half conveyed by
words. Physicians Of very high cha cter and no
toriey have heretofore declared my Rheu clatisIo

rave failed t. ctre or lsvate the Intensity of
the pain which has frequent y confined me to Fey
room for three months at q 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 enormous proportions and walk
ing rendered ia possible. Nothing remained for
me, and 1 intended to resign myself. as best I
might, to another months agonies. BY
chance, learned of the wonderful curative prop
critics Of st. Jacobs OIL I clutched it as straw,
and in few hours was free from pain in knee, arm
and shoulder. As before stated, 1 cannot find
words to convey my praise and gratitude to the dis
coverer Of this king of Rheum stism. Geo. Z. Say
DRY, ESQ, Asst. Clerk Police. City Hall. narrates:
An acquaintance has been frequent sufferer with
Sciatica. He recently suffered such intense agony
from an attack Of this disease that he WAS unable
to Lear the weight Of his foot upon the floor. He
applied St Jacobs Oil, and in less than hall hour
he took walk upon the streets, cured. A lady &C
queintance Of mine was also attacked some weeks
ago with Irhammatory Rheumatism OF the lmbs
from which she had heretofore never found re ief
by the use of medicines. etc. She, too. used st.
jacobs Oh and was cured within hour. And
thus, every side, statements as numerous as the
snow fakes could easily be garnered. -EGsbange
