The writer, on his recent visit to the
east, enjoyed the satisfaction of a STOP
over in Baltimore, and experienced the
| additional pleasure of an agreeable
visit to the laboratory and Office of
Messrs. A. Vogeler & Co., whence he
| brought, a souvenir of his call, few
bottles of that famous speciality of the
house named-St. Jacobs Oil. mas
much as these bottles have history,
and that worth repeating, their record
is substantially embodied in the follow
ing lines. Without going into any
elaborate detail, the facts are present
ed just as they occurred or existed, and
the opportunity for conclusion left
open: "My right hand, which is also
my left, (for it is the only one I have
lefty began to swell and pain me whilst
away from home. Remembering st.
Jacobs Oil, bathed the hand four
times daily, and at the end Of week
it was well. During that time it had
concentrated the soreness into boil,
which opened and gave me some relief.
st. Jacobs Oil was the only remedy |
used. To be knocked down and run
over Is not very pleasant experience;
but it was mine. About week ago,
while feeding some colts and cattle at
my farm, they stampeded, and knocked
me down, and l was badly hurt by be-
ing trodden upon. | was assisted into
the house, and after bathing the injured
parts IN warm water, they were rubbed
with st. Jacobs Oil. This treatment
was followed night and morning, and
this morning | am going about without
help, and am free from pain. The an
Gle joint and instep of my left foot are
| yet swollen at the time of writing, but
this is rapidly abatiug under the infu-
enCe ofSt. Jacobs Oil. That the injuries
were severe is certain, and that the Great
German Remedy did wonders for me is
also certain. 1t should be included in
every family's supplies, as such rene
dy is liable to be called for at any mo-
ment day or night. This state of af-
fairs was bad enough, but to suffer
with lame back for twenty-five years,
seems far worse. Now, what [ consid-
er a better test than any, is the way its
application resulted in the case of my
wife, who, for more than twenty-five
years, had been troubled with lame
back. Every time she took cold or
made any exertion in doing household
work, she would have to suffer with
great pain in her back, just across the
hips. We tried electricity and other
treatment with only temporary relief.
Her sufferings at times we've intense;
nor could she rise up without help or
walk erect. Thinking that what had
relieved our pain, mighty help her, we
tried St. Jacobs Oil, with great and
good results. We apply the Oil night
and morning, rubbing it in we'll The
first application gave such relief that
we continued it, and l am glad to say,
with prime success. My wife, in en-
dorsement of this, says she could not
stoop or even lift a pound, and is now
able TO walk and work without any pain.
One Of my men, who had exposed him
self, was attacked with severe neuralgia
pains in the neck and face. He rubbed
the afflicted portions with st. Jacobs
Oil at night, rested well and went to his
work in the morning as usual-cured.
Now, | have never before in my life
given statement or endorsement to
any remedy; in fact have always been
opposed to doing any such thing, az
my experience heretofore has not been
satisfactory with propriety medicines;
but when 1 have such positive evidence
of good results from using st. Jacobs
Oil, l feel it proper that my experience
should be known. shall always keep
plenty of it in the house and on the
farm, so that it will always be ready for
immediate use either upon man or
beast. r. M. LITTLER, Secretary.
