"AIay it Please Your r1onor.''
Evansville (Tnd.) Journal.

"rhere are three points in this case, may
t please your honor sand the counsel. .'In
the first place, we contend that the kettle in
dispute was cracked when we borrowed it.
secondly. that it was whole when we return
ed it; and thirdly that we never had it."
Such logic might appear ridiculous but for
the fact that the remarkable evidence pro-
duced in some of the great murder and
scandal cases which have had legal venti-
latiQn in this country during the last few
years, was of no less an edifylng' and con-
fiicting nature. In strongest contrast TO
this many-sided kind of testimony, are the
following emphatic and uniform statements
made by well-known business men of Evans
Vile, to a reporter of the Journal who was
C commissioned to get their opinions and ex-
perience relative TO The article in question,
and of which sucA astonishing reports are
appearing in many of our leading exchanges.
Mr.. Charles Laval, proprietor Of the Pre-
scriptiOn Drug Store, cor. Locust and Third
streets, upon learning the nature of the
writer's visit, said that his sales of the st.
Jacobs Oil were large and always increasing.
That very many people to whom he had
sold the article, called and reported it to
be the most excellent remedy for rheuma-
tsm. neuralgia, etc. I'VE can safely say
that st. Jacobs Oil has effected within the
past year more cures than any other lin
ment we have ever sold, were the words OF
Messrs Isaacs & Failing, 6l3 Main street.
Mr.. Frank S. Mueller, whose store is ri 925
West Franklin street, cited the case OF Mr..
Henry Rhenick, who for four years suffered
with rheumatism. which was cured by the
use of two bottles of st. Jacobs Oil. At the
Canal Drug store, Mr.. G. 4 De Souchet was
pleased to say that all united in claiming it
the best liniment they ever used. There
was growing demand, and number OF
his customers had called to testify to spe-
/ cihc cures. Learning that member of the
well known firm of Kerr & Morgan. proprie-
tors of the boarding stables, PIG Locust
street, had had experience with the article,
visit revealed the fact that few spplica-
tons of the ST. Jacobs Oil cured him of an
attack OF rheumatism, causing him to feel
| like new man. Mr.. George Knortt, with
the Ingle Ice Co., experienced the same
happy results from bottle of Oil in case
of rheumatism which had troubled him for
six weeks. Mr. w. Weber, druggist, at 63C
Main street, said that the st. Jacobs Oh
could be recommended with a clear con.
science for the prompt alienation and cure
of all the various painful ailments which
could be reached by an external remedy.
Similar testimony was received at all the
different places visited. among which were
the Farmers Drug Store of +. A. Hing, 515
Fulton avenue, and l.. w. DeuSner Il Co
cor. Second and Seymour streets. 1t should
be stated that our fellow-citizen, Mr. J.
| Bertelsen, Upper Second street, from his
personal experience, recommends the st
Jacobs Oil as the best article of its kind.
| Such Endorsements as these carry M
double meaning; there is but one inference
and as has been well said by the Chicago
Times after interviewing some of its leading
citizens. they should be enough to satisfy
the most skeptcal OF the wonderful almost
miraculous properties contained in these
| little bottles"
