upon by hundreds of people daily,
OH many Of whom it has a won

stone steps leading from the swarded
banks of a placid lake to a little
rustic temple set in he rugged side
Of the mountain which rises in stu
pendous proportions in the back
ground all covered with a rank lux
uriant growth of foliage In brush
and tree. In the open door of this
little temple stands a half concealed
figure, with an arm and hand ex-
tended, holding forth a small, dimly
defined package, while seated on the
sward at the foot Of the steps an
aged pilgrim, b%aretooted, lame and
decrepid, bears q staff in one hand,
and in the other holds before his
dim eyes a small bottle, whose label
he eagerly scans. This label bears
the words "S,. Jacobs Oil, the
Great German Remedy" Simple

said Mr.. Edward j. Douglass, a
gentleman connected with Mr.. Halls
department, that | owe my presen,
ability TO perform my work. Some
weeks ago | was violently attacked
with sciatlc rheumatism, and hour
by hour l grew worse, aud nothing
my family or the doctor could do
gave me any relief. | began to
think in q few days that my case
was hopeless and that l was doomed
TO be sn invalid and helpless Grip
pie for l.fe. But at last | thought
OF that picture which | had 50 often
looked at with but little interest,
and then Mr.. Hall came to my bed
side. and telling me how St. Jacobs
Oil bad cured him Of a worse and
longer standing case than mine
urged me to use the same remedy.
l did SO that very night, directing
my wife not to spare 1t but TO ap-
ply it thoroughly according to the
directions this she did with a large
piece OF flannel cloth saturated with
the Oil, and then bound the cloth to
the affected parts. The next morn
ing l was free from pain, and
although a little sore in the hip,
was able TO dress myself, and the
next day resumed my duties in the
office As sound as a dollar. Here
am now in full health and strength,
having had no touch of rheumatism
or other pain since. Whenever
see one of our drivers or any other
person who shows any symptoms OF
lameness or stiffness, | point TO him
the picture in Mr.. Halls Office, and
then direct him to 80 for St. Jacobs
Oil at once."-New York Eveuing
