While sanntering leisurely down Canal
street, the other day, our young man OBJ
served sign suspended over the door of
an elegantly fitted up Office which stauds
just opposite the Row Union Depot. II
WAS not tue grandness Of that sign that at
tracted our y. ms attention, but thesin-
scriptien thereon, which read as follows
"Nat Reeves, Railroad and Steamship
Ticket Broker, No. ~ South Canal street,
Chicago, ILL.," Nat Reeyes-Nat Reeves
thought our y. H.: we'll, certainly this can
not be the Nat l knew some years ago in
the city Of Covington, K entucky Now, as
thinking the matter over would not solve
the question, even though our Y. N.
thought until dooms- -,lay, ho very seusibly
resolved to enter and search for ocular
demonstration.
The yonng man who smi}ingly looked
up from the desk proved to be the gentle
man sought for, and after pleasant greet
ing our y. "a, who has but lately arrived
from the Buckeye state and is not posted
in the biz, aaked Nat to explain, which
that gentleman did IN the following manner:
"WEen last met you, said Nat, you re:
membr that Vas lame with the rheuma-
tis,n that is; was in e sad condition,
and could just get about; was aoctoring
forit, aud was paying out money US fast rs
could very we'll do it. A man never knows
how much money it can cost until he gets a
good case of rheumatism, and as to suffering,

will know. l tried doctor after doctor,
and remedy after remedy, bu; all to no avail.
went to the seaside anu Invent to the
springs with the Eamo result;
but it was Oh nv re.

OF way for curing my rheumatism and de.
cided on my present businesses. / heard
from passengeron Oh the train eA account Of
two or three remarkable cures for rheuAa-
tism brought about by that infallible remedy
st Jacobs Oil. I determined to try it. On
my arrival here did SO. l went to Van
Schaak, Stevenson e. Co.'s and purchased
bottle of st. Jacobs Oil, and had not
felt such apleasant experience for long
time as on.the morning following tho first
application. felt ten years younger on
arising than I did on retiring, and each
succeeding morning enhanced the pleasant
feeling. 1t was as gooo as an opiate to
ME, for must say that I never slept better
in my life than while l Was using st. ia
cobs oil. and oil it cost me was so cents
per bottle. Previous to using
St. Jacobs Oil, was paying big BILLS for
doctors, for medicine. and for railway fares.

riding on the train got to thinking of the
price Of railway tickets, and made up ny
mind that they were to dear; / resolved to
speculate in that line. 80 as soon as my
rheumatism was cured went into this bust

l can send them anywhere, aud If 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 tho corner OF
La Sale street he met face to face with an-
other old-time aoquaintance--Mr Mel G.
Holding, formerly IN the grocery business
Covington, 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 he7
wonder ii 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 did use it, was
the reply, and that is not the beauty Of it
but that used it andwas cured of bad
case of the rheumatism; my arms and
shoulders were in terrible state when I
began its use. My mother, who had er:-
ployed St. Jacobs Oil, would not hear of
my trying anything else, SO I purchased
bottle and rubbed it upon my shoulders on
retiring. The next day felt greatly inl-
proved, and in three or four days was as
we'll as ever. St. Jacobs Dil is quick, safe,
sure and perfectly permanent cure"
That was talking at cutting rate, at least
so the writer thought, and now he wishes
to ask, with Mr.. Holding, it there is anyone
who has not used St. Jacobs Ojl--the Great
German Remedy.
