CUTTING RATES.
War On Travellers Torment.


While sauntering leisurely down Canal
street, the other day, our young man OBJ
served sign suspended over the door of
an elegantly fitted up Office which stands
Just opposite the new Union Depot. 1t
was not the grandness of that sign that at
tracted our y. MS attention, but the in
scriptien thereon, which read as follows:
"Nat Reeves, Railroad and Steamship
Ticket Broker, No. 70 South Canal street,
Chicago, ILL.," Nat Reeves-Nat Reeves
thought our y. NJ: well, certainly this can
not be the Nat I knew some years ago in
the city of Covington, X ent1cky. Now, RS
thinking the matter over would not solve
the question, even though our u. nj.
thought until dooms-day, he very sensibly
resolved to enter and search for ocular
demonstration.
The young man who smilingly looked
up from the desk proved to be the gentle
man sought for, and after pleasant greet
ing our y. m., who has but lately arrived
from the Buckeye state and is not posted
in the biz, asked Nat to explain, which
that gentleman did in the following manner:
when last met you, said Nat, you re-
membr that | was lame with the rheuma-
tism-that is; l was in a sad condition,
and could Just get about; l was aoctoring
could very we'll do it. man never knows
how much money it can cost until he gets
good case of rheumatism, and as to suffering,
we'll if men don't know what it is to suffer
when he has got the rheumatism he never
will know. I tried doctor after doctor,
and remedy after remedy, but all to no avail.
l went to the seaside and went to the
springs with the same result;
but it was on my re-
turn trip from the Springs that learne d
Of way for curing my rheumatism and de-
cided on my present businesses. / heard
from passenger on the train an account of
two or three remarkable cures for rheuaa-
tism brought about by that infallible remedy
st Jacobs Oil. determined to try it. On
my arrival here I did SO. I went to Van
Schaak, Stevenson & Co.'s and purchased
a bottle of st. Jacobs Oil, and had not
felt such pleasant experience for long
time as on.the morning following the first
application. felt ten years younger on
arising than I did on retiring, and each
succeeding morning enhanced the pleasant
feeling. 1t was as GOOD as an opiste to
me, for must say that never slept better
in my life than while was using st. ia
cobs Oil, and all it cost me was so cents
per bottle. Previous to using
st. Jacobs Oil, I was paying big bills for
doctors, for medicine, and for railway fares
St. Jacobs Oil cured me of all that
First it cured me of rheumatism; while
| riding on the train I got to thinking of the
price of railway tickets, and l made up my
mind that they were to dear; resolved to
speculate in that line, SO as soon as my
rheumatism was cured went into this bust
ness. Now can furnish railway or steam
ship tickets over any and all lines cheaper
than the companies owning the lines by 80
per cent.-a big thing t. travelling public.
I can send them anywhere, and il they
should prefer walking-well, can make the
lame walk with the use of st. Jacobs Oil
the Great German Remedy"
The writer, after leaving the offices of
Mr.. Reeves, took his way down Madison
street, and just as he rounded the corner of
| Ca Sale street he met face to face with an
other old-time acquaintance-Mr. Mel G..
| Holding, formerly in the grocery business
| at the corner of Fourth and Scott streets,
| Covipgton, Ky. After the exchange Of q
| pleasant greeting with Mel, the writer re-
lated the conversation just held with Mr..
| Reeves, and imagine his surprise to hear
| that gentleman exclaim:
so Nat has used st. Jacobs Oil has he2
| I wonder If there is any one who has not
used that wonderful medicine!"
The writer becoming interested, pro-
pounded the following query to Mel:
Have you used St. Jacobs Oil, Mel?"
"Well, should say I did use it, was
| the reply, and that is not the beauty of i
but that used it andwas cured of bad
case of the rheumatism; my arms and
shoulders were in terrible state when I
began it's use. My mother, who had en-
ployed st. Jacobs Oil, would not hear Of
my trying anything else, SO I purchased q
bottle and rubbed it upon my shoulders on
retiring The next day felt greatly inl-
| proved, and in three or four days was as
well as ever. st. Jacobs Oil is quick, safe,
sure and perfectly permanent cure.
That was talking at cutting rate, OF least
| SO the writer thought, and now he wishes
to ask, with Mr.. Holding, if there is anyone
| who has not used st. Jacobs Oil-the Great
I German Remedy.
