Others have asked, 'Wnat do the people propose

tons is ore to use oil. ard judging from recent
journalistic con ments and editorial and rsporto-

Iwant to spssk Of another case; my mother-in-

rheumatism for Years aid has suffered also from
pains in the back and chest. When she saw how II
had cured me, she took to using it. She usei
about two bottles, and to Gay she is as free from
these pains SIS though she had never known them.
O.her instances ars those OF Afr. Carpenter. of

Fist Warne. On the northwest oorner CT 18th and
Christian streets, has this to say in reference to
the saie Of st. Jacobs On:-''lt sells better than
any three liniments we have. csnaot tell You the
quantity have sold this winter. 1t has been the
means Of increasing my business within the last
four months, mere than ever before. A great
many people have come here whom never saw be-
fore some would buy two bottles at a time All
speak well Of 1t; it sells itself. All We We to is
to hang up tiga showing that We keep 1t; that
makes it 80 fast ecough. We never LET ourselves
get out Of it for single day If we ever did we
wou1d lose business. People SO anxi ous for It
they would SO elseEhere."
Instances are numerous where men exposed TO
the weather. and hence subject in many cases to
rheumatic twinges. have found relief in the use OF
the Oil. A. Buckley. an engineer on the Philsdel-
ph.a, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad. coz
tracted rheun aiism in his shoulder from lesning
out Of the window OF his cab n rainy days. He has
suffered from it for three years. and woela be some
times unable almost to raise his arm. About two
weeks ago having heard Of the Oil he procured
bottle and appiisd it to his shoulder reyul arly
morning and evening. The bottle had not been
half emptied until he was Is free from pain as he
ever was before he had contracted the dsease. and
that continues to be his condition at the present
time.
All the attempts OF physicians. druggists and
others TO discover what the oil is composed Of have
fsiled. drug ct speaking of thu matter the
other day said: st Is very probable that one
great cause OF the speedy effect of the OIL In cAses

affected part before II disappears. The more You
rub it TIE more rapidly 1t goes in. Well, my theo
is that The rubbing. the friction caused By the
hand moving over the 1eeh.-and certain elements
of the oil combined, tend to strengthen the muscles
and producs healthy condition of the affected
limb or joint, which being one Of the first essen
tials in any case. overcomes the disease. rheuma-
ts CT sIrain, or whAteverit may be, and reco very
is inevitable. have seen so many cases recently,
In which the use of this oil has fur1ished relief
that pretty we'll convinced that that element In
it hich causes its rapid absorption, is the ruling
one in brir ging about the cure. Why, even in
cases Of tcothache it has brought relief merely
from rubbing the Jaw"
The name Of Mrs. Robert Richards, Of l4O7
South Tenth street. was given one OF the cases
in which relief from tooth ache had been fur
nished. visit was made to the place, and the
ladSs husband, who is An artist, related the cir
cumstanceR.
my wife used to complain OF pain in the head,
said he, "which would usually be accompanied by
toothAche. It couldn't be called neuralgia, becsusa
the symptoms were different. She had suffered for
years. and used all kinds of medicine. but found
nothing to relieve her. At last-it Was about two
weeks agc-a friend advised her to try st. Jacobs
On. she hsd been in the habit Of trying every
thing; 30 she went and got bottle and rubbed 1t
on her face one evening. 1hst night she slept bst
ter than abe had slept for months. and the pain
greatly reduced. though not entirely gone. In the
morning she applied the oil again. and afterwards
saturated flannel Goth snd ted 1t around her
head. By evening the Pain was entirely gone. and
she hakn's been troubled with It since. She now
keers bottle of the oil on hand all the time, and
thinks IFS the best medicine in the world.
w. Tomlinson. druggist at 18th and Stills
streets, being asked how the Oil SOLD. said: 1T

me every other medicine has Just dropped out of
