EXCITEMENT!
REGARDING THE RAILROAD
RACKET REACHING RE-
MOTE REGIONS.
PEACEFUL PUBLIC PLEASE POS-
DER THE PROPOSED
PLAN AND PLACE.
REMARKABLE REPORTORIAI.
HOUNDS REVEALING RE-
LIABLE REPORTS.
TRUTH TOLD!

There are three very important mat
fcrS now before the people Of Whining
ton and the State of Delaware. The
/ first is the proposed new railroad. This
enterprise Is exciting more comment
and interest than anything for years.
! The srCOud matter of weight Is the
river front question. As this cannot
! be settled by the Legislature, the peo-
| pie do not feel aS much interest in it mt
present rs they will later in the year.
The third matter, bnt which is by no
means least, is one that concerns the
health of the city and is just now about
~ freely discussed as anything can or
will be. We refer to the prevalence of
rheumatism and neuralgia and the
wonderful ouraS now being effected by
| the great German remedy, st. Jacob
Oil. In order 10 learn tho true status
of the question u member Of the rcpur-
torial staff went out upon II tour OF in-
~pection through the city, and the fol-
lowing is the result:
The reporter called upon Mr. George
W. Hrtlip, proprietor Of the Clayton
House, and was received by that gentle
man with beaming cordiality for which
he is distinguished, and which has
added ~ largely to the success of his
elegant house. When the scribe pro-
pounded the question relative to -.
Jacobs Oil, Mr.. Ort!ip at once replied
that the excitement over the wonderful
performances OF the great German rem
rly was equal to that Of the proposed
new raiiroad. In fact, the remedy waS
Al prcsrnt dividing the honors in the
diamond State, with the several uurS-
tuns Of paramount public Importance
now being agitated by the press and
Legislature, and from what he knew Of
it's happy effects upon several Of his
friends who hd used it, its popularity
was fairly won and richly deserved.
"You can say" he continued, that |
take pleasure in stating that the great
German remedy, st. Jacobs Oil, is one
uf the best remedies for rheumatism
ever brought to my notice. The cures
it has wrought in Wilmington are OF
such character ~ to appear wonder
lnl. can consciemiDusly commend
this sterling remedy to the public. 1t
has been used by people in my house
with the most gratifying results"
This winter has been prolific in street
accidents, many in our city having beou
painfully wounded by falling upon the
slippery sidewalks and crossings, and
the great German remedy has been
thus brought into use by persons who
otherwise would not have had aches and
pains. Mr. j. B. Harding, residing
ut No. a03 West seventh street, had
, tI,.,, Al. - ~, anita
his footing npon the treacherouN ice and
fall heavily to the ground. He sus-
tanod serious and most painful
Sprain in his left shoulder. When the
reporter interviewed Mr.. Harding
that gentleman stated that the aprain
gave him great pain and rendered any
thing like rest impossible. Ho resorted
to the universal remedy, however, and,
thanks to its wonderfully soothing
and healing power, he was quickly
restored to health. He emphatically
commended st. jacobs Oil as the best
pain annihilatOr he ever knew and
said he should always keep Il bottle in
his house.
A VERY REMARKABLE CASR.
Perhaps one Of the most remarkable
cures ever effected by ST. Jacobs
Oil, or any other remedy, was that
Of Mr.. Gcrson l.. Kahn, of the firm
Of &. l.. Kahn 81 Co., Wholesale and
retail dealers in clothing and GENTS
furnishing goods, No. 218 Market street.
This gentleman met with trighttu ac-
eident in January, 1880, having had his
left leg horribly burned. above the knee.
The flesh was literally burned to the
hone and the wound was a most chastity
one. IL is quite needless to state that
Mr.. Kahn's sutferings We're terrible. In
deed, for long time his friends feared
he could not recover, bnt by excellent
nursing and skiltul medical treatment
b. pulled through. He was contin-
ed to his bed for eight weeks, never ris-
ing from IA recumbent position in all that
tiR,e. His physician planted skin on the
wonnd cut from the arms of the patient =
frienlS, and the sufferer gradually i'm
proved. AS is well known in Whining
ton, hr. Kahn used crutchcS and canes
until ~ very short time since and WAS
regarded as conf rmed invalid by every
one. Mr.. Kahn stated 10 the reporter
in n leu ythy chat about his case that
be was ut all times apprchensive
since hif accident that he should never
again h. rid of pain His limbs were
never free from pain and an inexpteSsible
sort Of wtariness thar precludeI active |

man who could not get rested. He
came to the conclusion short tIIne !
