Mr.. J. Levett, No. 81 Market street, in
response to rumor that the proprietor had
been cured of the rheumatism by the great
remedy. Mr.. Levett not being in, the re-
porter had talk with his son. Mr.. Levett
stated that his father had been cured of an
exceedingly bad attack of rheumatism by
the st. Jacobs Oil. He had the disease in
his right arm and shoulder, which became
perfectly helpless after being affected few
hours. His pain was so great that he could
not rest in comfort or attend to business with
any degree of satisfaction. After enduring
this sort of thing for some time he pur-
chased bottle of the Great German Rene.
dy and began to apply it. He did not
mince matters at all, but just used the Oil
for all it was worth. After pursuing this
mode of treatment for three days the pain
was banished and his father was in per
lectly healthy condition He has never
since felt any rheumatic pain.

The Great RaYiYals.
IBrooklyn On. W Earle. l


While Mr.. Beecher and DIR. Talmage are
making special efforts this spring to save the
souls Of the people, the Great German Remedy
is supplementing the good work by preserving
and restoring health. The two influences are
widely different yet strangely alike 1t is one
of those rare occasions where the spiritual and
physical meet on common ground, both oper-
ating differently, yet each working toward the
accomplishment of the same purpose, viz, the
happiness Of mankind. Thus moralized the
reporter after visiting the great Brooklyn re-
vivals and subsequently interviewing several
citizens Of New York upon the work of the
Great German Remedy. Calling upon Mr..
John g. Krem, agent for the New York and
Baltimore Transportation line, pier 7, North
river, the reporter asked that gentleman if he
or any Of the employees Of the company had
been using the St. Jacobs Oil this season. Mr..
Krem promptly answered that the Great Ger
man Remedy was well known by those doing
business at the pier. He had used the Oil, and
had recommended it to several of the men, and
1t had never failed to perform all that was
needed. He was attacked with lumbago this
winter and, seeing the many good words
spoken by the citizens Of New York in favor OF
the st. Jacobs Oil, he concluded to give it q
trial. 1t acted like a charm, subduing his
trouble with almost magic celebrity He had
not anticipated such rapid restoration. and
confessed that the wonderful action of the great
healer surprised him. He had never found
such quick relief in all his previous experience,
and, since using the Oil, he has never had occa-
sion to employ the services of any lniment for
the reason that it had radically cured him OF
all rheumatic pain. The gratifying action of
the st. Jacobs Oil in his own case gave him
unlimited confidence in its great curative
power, and he freely advised the men in the
employ of the company to use it whenever they
had occasion to need liniment. 1t had given
relief in several instances to the employees.
The most pronounced instance Of its power
was in the case of a commander of one of the
company's bargos, Captain Samuel Jarrett,
| who wa severely afflicted with rheumatism.
Captain Jarrett had suffered considerably with
the rheumatism, and complained that he could
not secure relief. He was told to try ST.
Jacobs Oil. The captain applied the Great
German Remedy and found relief lie was
then in Baltimore in his vessel. Mr.. Krem
also stated the janitress of the rooms he occu-
pied was also healed by st. Jacobs Oil. The
woman is subject to rheumatism Of severe
type. She did not seem TO get relief from any
OF the remedies she was using, 80 he gave her
bottle OF the German Remedy. She used it,
and afterward said it had relieved her, and che
was loud in its praise Mr.. Krem said that
his experience with the St. Jacobs Oil justified
him in pronouncng it superb remedy, and lie
emphatically recommended it's employment by
his friends and acquaintance.
