We met Mr. James Hayden. the well-known |

| We will say To those OF our readers who do not

cheerinlly give them information as to St. Jacobs
Oil. Shortly after conversing with that gentleman
we met Mr.. Lewis @. Folger, whose name needs

Lest there should be any of our readers who do
not know Mr.. Folger, we will say that the gentle

ber of and one of the orignntors of the "Central
Christian Temperance Union," and resides at No.
% Elizabeth street, where, as he says himself ~
will tell all about st. Jacobs OIL"
We had occasion to drop into the drug store Of
Mr.. A. Langenbeck at the southeast corner of Vine
