whereof they speak. The La Fayette Undo
p Cou7fcT, In late issue, says: Mr.. Vending,
who, as many OF our readers may know, was
q short time ago seriously afflicted with severe
bed for Ave weeks, during which his left leg
was powerless, his attention was called TO n
statement in the Courier of wonderful cures
effected by the st. Jacobs OIL. He sent for a
bottle OF this great German remedy, and
states that after using the article for but a
few days he was on his feet again, and that It
entirely cured him. AS such Information is
not only pleasing, but of great interest to
everybody, we cheertully give our readers the
benefit thereof, and we congratulate our
friend on his recovery, and the public on the
fact that reliable cure for one of the most
painful OF all ailments has at last been found.
