A National Blessiag.

A National Blessing.
The nineteenth Century above all other ages
has been noted for its many inventions; it has
given us the steam power in its thousand-fold
applications, the Telegraph, the Telephone, the
Electric light and innumerable other discover
les, all blessings to humanity-each day bring
ing 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 a matter Of natural conse-
quence and most people will simply remark, |
81 told you So" As an instance Of this fact, |
We would only call attention to that wonderful
discovery, st. Jacobs Oil. Afew years ago this |
great German smedy had never been heard OF IN |
this country; to-day you can hardly find man, |
woman, or child in the United States who has
at least has witnessed its use and seen its won
derful effects on fellow being. st. Jacobs Oil
has become national remedy, for it is known
in every city, town, village, and hamlet in the
country. 1t is cosmopolitan preparation, forit
is praised by the Americans, Germans, Italians,
Bohemians, Danes, Swedes, Portuguese, Span
iards, French, yes, even by the sHeathen Chi
nee." 1t may be termed the universal blessing;
for it is indorsed 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 al
most marvellous properties, can be en-
ployed for simple cut or sprain, or the
worst case of inflammatory rheumatism. Per-
sons 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 leading JOURNALS of our country; for in
stance-the st. Louis Post-Dispdtch says:
Under the title of Old Probabilities, one of the
most useful and valuable officers of the U. s.
Government, is most widely known. But quite
as well known is Prof. J. 81. Tce, the meteo-
rologist of the Mississippi Valley, whose contri-
buttons to his favorite study have given him an
almost national reputation. On a recent tour
through the Northwest, the professor had
narrow escape from the serious consequences of
sudden and very dangerous illness, the par
ticulars of which he thus refers to: The day
after concluding my course of lectures at Bur-
Hngton, Iowa, on 21st December last, was
seized with sudden attack of neuralgia In the
chest, giving me the most excruciating pain
and almost preventing breathing. Ny pulse,
usually 80, fell to 35; intense nausea Of the
stomach succeeded. and a cold, clammy sweat
covered my entire body. The attending physi-
clan could do nothing to relieve me; after suf-
fering for three hours I thought, asI had been
using St. Jacobs Oil with good effect for
rheumatic pains, 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 free from pain, and would have taken
the train to fill an appointment that
| night in a neighboring town, had my friends
not dissuaded me. As it was, I took the
| night train for my home, st. Louis, and have
| not been troubled since. The Boston Globe
| says: Chas. S. Strickland, ESQ.,, Builder, No. 9
| Boylston street and LOG Harrison Avenue,
| Boston, thus speaks: The pleasure which I
| hereby attempt to express, can only be half
| conveyed by words. Physicians Of very high
| character and notoriety have heretofore de-
clared 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 a time. One week ago I was
seized with an attack Of acute rheumatism
of the knee. In few hours the entire knee
joint became swollen to enormous proportions
| and walking rendered impossible. Nothing re-
| manned for me- and intended to resign myself,
as best might, to another months agonies.
By chance, learned of the wonderful curative
properties of st. Jacobs Oil. 1 clutched it is q
straw, and in few hours was free from
pain in knee, arm and shoulder. AS before
stated, I cannot find words to convey my
praise and gratitude to the discoverer OF
this king of rheumatism. The Chicago
Times SAYS: Everybody on the South side
knows J. D. L. Harvey, ESQ.,, who has been a
resident of Chicago, for over twenty years.
Mr.. Harvey expresses himself on the coil sub
| ject" as follows: 'T have spent over $4,000 to
| cure nv wife of rheumatism. Two bottles of
st. Jacobs Oil accomplished what all the medi-
cal treatment failed to bring about. I regard
it is as greater discovery than electricity. 1t
is a boon to the human race, and am very
glad to have this opportunity Of testifying to
its remarkable efficacy. can not speak toe
highly of it, and I would be recreant to my
duty to those afflicted did not lift my voice in
its praise" The Philadelphia Ledger says
"Mr. GeoAge I. Graham, 800 Nineteenth street
Philadelphia, is journalist of many years ex
perience, and is actively connected with thu
Philadelphia Sunday Mirror, Q leading theat
rical and musical journal. During the 'lAt'
onpleasantness'' Mr.. Graham was Captain o
Company K, 183d Pennsylvania Regiment, ant
through exposure in the field he contracted
1 variety of ills, and he says very troublesome
case of rheumatism in the right leg and fec
was war inheritance that he had in vain triet
to get rid Of, until he was recommended to tr.
est. Jacobs OIL" He states that he felt
slight relief even on the first application of tn
Oil. Before the first bottle he purchased hat
been used up he had but few traces Of hi
! rhe umatism. and at this time he says tn
disease has entirely left him, which h
attributes entirely to the use of st. jacobs OIL
He remarks: "No person need suffer witt
rheumatism if st. Jacobs Oil can be btained
to those who are afflicted with that complain
it is worth its weight in gold" The Chicag
Inter- Ocean says: Captain Paul Boyton, tn
world-renowned swimmer, thus speaks of tn
Old German Remedy: From constant exposur
l am somewhat subject to rheumatic pains, ant
nothing would ever benefit me, until got hol
of this Old German Remedy. Why, on m
travels I have met people who had been suffer
ing with rheumatism for yc:rs; by my advic
they tried the Oil, and it cured them. I woul
sooner do without food for days than be with
out this remedy for one hour. In fact woul
not attempt a trip without st. Jacobs Oil as
do not see how l could get along without il
st. Jacobs Oil has been endorsed by persons o
national reputation; who would not lend thei
names if they were not convinced that it was
duty they owed to suffering humanity; the
have experienced the wonderful effect of tn
great German remedy and they want thei
fellow-creatures to know the result. We woul
only mention in this connection the Rt. Rev
Bishop Gilmour, Cleveland, Ohio: Excellen
