The way of the world.

New York Spirit Of the Times
The trite saying that mot one half of the
world knows how the other half gets along
is exemplified in innumerable ways and in
stances. And this is not to be wondered
at; for as the world grows older, and, we
trust, better, the increasing wants eugend-
cred by progressive civilization render
further division of labor indispensably
necessary, even in the humber avocations
of life. II is a fact, recognized by all OBJ
serving men, that almost every trade or
pursuit induces some special disorgani1a-
tion of the system characteristic of such
avocation, presenting the paradoxical re
suit of man killing himself, as it were, to
live. Such being the disagreeable and un-
fortunate condition Of affairs as related to
human effort, it is very obvious that any
means of warding off the very undesirable
consequences referred to must be source
of extreme Joy and satisfaction to the toll
ers ofthe earth, as well as of vast profit,
in the aggregate to the activity and in
dusty of the world. These observations
were suggested upon recently hearing of
case of water rheumatism" so oCalled.
Any type of this dreaded disease is severe,
and often agonizing. Its approach is some-
times insidious, but more frequently, how
ever, it is the result Of cold and often de-
velops in few hours ore days at most. II
is surprising to consider how many people
are afflicted with it, and how serious a tax
upon their time and resources it is in
many instances. No branch Of industry
seems to be free from its disastrous in
fuence, as the following experience re
lated by Mr.. George Drake, 46 and 45 Oak
street, indianapolis, Ind, goes to show: 81
am now, and have been, employed in bug
gy-washing in a livery stable for two
years. My calling requires me to be in the
water for hours at time, and l contracted
what is called, in our occupation. water
rheumatism. j used dozen of different
remedies without any benefit, and was get
ting nightly discouraged when l noticed
a reference in a local paper to an article
called st Jacobs Oil.' i thought l would
try bottle, and did begin its use. l found
it gave me immediate relief, and after en-
ploying four bottles of the Oil | am en-
tirely cured. ! have personally told my
friends that are in the same business, and
they all say that it is doing the same for
them that it did for me. The complaint |
speak of is very Sc we're one. When / be-
gan the use of the Oil | had laid off
from work on account Of the pains result
| ing from working in the water | will con-
| tinue to use the Oil, and know l can work
| in water by its use all the balance of my
| life without any bad results. This ex-
| perience and information may be of SER
| vice to others working in the same pursuit
as that in which am engaged, and cheer
| fully give it for the benefit of all so sit
uat6d." Wherever there are horses or car
riages there must be an abundant use of
water; and as already shown, one of the
results of constantly working in the water
is the disease called water rheumatism"
| 1t is certainly matter of especial con-
graduation not only for these workers, but
for all workers-ior all mankind really
that such an efiicacious substance exists as
the Great German Remedy. And we also
have positive word and assurance from old
and experienced horsemen that St. Jacobs
Oil is the very best remedy ever intro
duced for the quick relief and cure of many
of the ailments of "man's best friend" the
horse. Thus, if double efficacy, SO to speak,
constitute an argument for the adoption of
an article this famous substance is most
certainly entitled to full consideration.
