Almost interesting item of news by the propri-
etor While speaking Of the phenomenal salo
of the Great German Remedy, ST. Jacobs Oil,
Mr.. Perry stated that most miraculous cure
by the use of the Oil had been brought to his
notice. An old lady residing somewhere
down on Virginia avenue--he could not state
her name or residence had been bedridden
for twelve years with rheumatism. Owing to
her age and the great length of time she had
been afflicted, her friends had given mp all
hopes of seeing her recover. The daughter
of the afflicted lady heard go much about the
Great German Remedy that che came to the
conclusion to use it in her mothers case. Pur-
chasing bottle she rubbed the sick one with
il. 1t gave her relief. The treatment was
continued with such effect that with each sue
ceeding day the patient grow better. Finally
che was able to leave her bed and walk
something she had not done for many years,
and ere long felt herself almost well. After
the third bottle had been exhausted the pa
tent came up town with her daughter COM
pletely cured, and announced that it had been
accomplished by the st. Jacobs Oil. Com
ment upon this sunnecessary. The facts tell
their own wonderful story. 1t is almost as
though one were raised from the dead.
Strange things come to pass in everyday life,
and this wonder working German Remedy
contributes an astonishing quota to the bud
get of information of this character. Hero
are some evidences of the power of this great
remedial agent
Uncle Sans letter-carriers are har9-work-
ing set of men, and are liable to contract
rheumatism because of the constant exposure
to which they are subjected. Calling at the
postofice, the reporter had pleasant con-
versation with Mr.. ]. l. Mattern, one of the
most popular and clever letter-carrers in In
dianapolis. Mr.. Mattern acknowledged an
intimate acquaintance with the wonderful
product of st. Jacobs laboratory, and was will
ing to testify to its worth as curative agent.
He said that while in the army during the
civil war he sprained one of his ankles. Since
then the ankle has been susceptible to cold
and rheumatic pain, and has given him no
end of trouble. He found it was always
worse in the spring during the period of rapid
changes in the weather. He did not find
much relief from the several remedies he ap-
piled. But two years ago he hit upon ST.
Jacobs Oil and experienced wonderful relief
from its use. Several applications of the
Great German Remedy relieved him entirely
In the winter and spring of 1880 he had sew
eral more attacks, but each time he was
speedily relieved by the use of st. Jacobs
Oil. When last afflicted he applied his great
relevant 80 effectually that it. drove out the
trouble entirely, and he has not felt any re-
turn of 1t since. He is now well and rid OF
apprehension for the future, as he firmly be-
lieves st. Jacobs Oil has permanently cured
him. The reporter talked with others among
the letter-carriers, and found that the Great
German Remedy was popular in the postoffice.
They use it for sore feet and pronounce it
highly beneficial.
The reporter next wendell his way to the
Office Of the Indiana Farmer, and asked the
publishers of that journal what they knew
about st. Jacobs Oil. This was sufficient to
start lively conversation about the verv
general use into which the remedy had eaped
and the numerous cures it has wrought in In
dianapolis. Mr.. Frank Patten, one of the
editors of the paper, said the st. JAG >hs Oil
had acted with fine effect in his family. Some
time ago his wife was suffering with rheuma-
tism. The attack WAS very severe, indeed.
She began the use of the Great German REM
edy, and it helped her from the very start.
Not long after beginning to apply the Oil she
was greatly relieved, and the use of two bot
ties cured her outright. Tho lady has not
been visited by the rheumatism sioce that
time. Upon another occasion. Mr.. Patten
stated, his wife had severe headache and
was cured by st. Jacobs OIL. The Great
Remedy is now kept constantly in his house,
and is brought out upon every occ .sion for
the cure of burns, bruises, sprains, etc. He
added that friend, who was terribly afflicted
with rheumatism, had also been cured by st.
Jacobs Oil. The disease had brought him to
such pass before the Oil was applied that he
could not turn over in bed, and suffered all
the fortunes attendant upon such attacks.
In the Office of the indianapolis Journal
81. Jacobs Oil is highly esteemed Mr.. G. L.
Divine, superintendent of the composing and
printing department of the paper, values tho
great remedy beyond all curative agents
He says he has had such favorable results
from it's use upon his own person and in his
family, that he now relies upon it as a general
household remedy and cure-all. He regards
it as the master of all physical pain. He has
been subject to rheumatism of a very painful
character, and has passed many sleepless
nights while enduring the agony of it. Physi-
clans have prescribed for him, and he has
employed remedies which were advertised
as specifics for the disease, but none with sat
isfactory results When he bought bottle
of st. Jacobs Oil, however, and began it's use
he speedily realized that he had at last found
the remedy he had been looking for. 1t re-
lieved him with remarkable quickness and
gave him great comfort. He has used, first
and last several bottles of the Great German
Remedy, and says it is the only power which
will give him relief. He now feels great sat
isfaction in the knowledge that he has rem
edy which will control all rheumatic pain,
from which he has no future guarantee of i'm
munity. Believing, as he Does that the st.
Jacobs Oil will cure ali forms of pain, he
fraelv recommends it to his friends and adj
