Will 1t Crumble and Decay!-Ine age Oh
Miracles Not Yet Pas cd Away.
This relic of antiquity and of civilization
as old nearly as the eternal hills, now
stands out in Central Park shorn of its en-
numbering tackle, an ornament and monu-
ment of which every New Yorker will be
proud Since the monolith has been In
New York the "croakers have, with their
usual industry, commenced to prophesy its
destruction by stress of weather. They
say that the shaft cannot stand this climate;
that by reason of peculiar atmospheric con-
ditions, radically different from those ex-
listing in the climate of Egypt, the stone
will crumble and decay. Well, all things
have limit. Mutability is written
everywhere. But there does not seam to
be any cause to fear the immediate decay
of the monolith. 1t will probably stand in
Central Park for the next two thousand
years or so, which is certainly ali that could
be desired by the present generation.
While, however, Cleopatra's Needle may
stand the rigors of this climate untouched
for thousands of years, the human form Is
snIitten by the vicissitudes of temperature
which prevail hereabout and it is stated
that physicians in New York have their
hands full in attending the sick and suffer-
ing. The Obeiisk is grand gift of the
oldest to the newest and best civilization.
But the gift of healing is of more
importance to the people just now.
Said a gentleman to the writer:
Tell the world through the
press that I've been cured of chronic
rheumatism, of FIVE years standing, by the
use of St. Jacobs OiI.-No, don't put my
name to tit will not add weight
to the statement. But go around the city
and hear its praises" Said Mr.. P.
Scheung, now in the Medical Department
Of Columbia college, and but recently
clerk in the pharmacy of ID. Adolph Engle,
No. 1853 Avenue A: Yes, know some
facts in the case of O cure by st. Jacobs
OIL" Mr.. Scheung then went on to state
that while he was at Mr.. Engle's gentle
man named Mr.. Peter Kemp, residing on
which, was induced to try bottle of st.
| Jacobs Oh, through the kindly Offices of a
| relative. Soon after the first bottle was
! purchased, Mr.. Kemp's daughter went to
Mr.. Engle's store and bought three bottles,
| stating that her father was getting along nice
| ly since using the oil. About two weeks sub
sequent to this Mr.. Kemp called at the store
in person and thanked Mr.. Scheung very
| much, saying it was the best thing he had
ever used. Mr.. Kemp then stated that he
| had been suffering with rheumatism for
| fifteen years and found no relief until he
tried ST. Jacobs Oil. A short time since,
! Mr.. Kemp, who was restored to health,
| called at the store and purchased
two more bottles of St Jacobs Oil, remark
| ing that he was going west and would not
be without the remedy for anything in clse
his old enemy returned upon him. Nora
| Mahoney, chambermaid at the Grand
| Union hotel, one Of the largest and best
| hot=ls 10 New York, is now one of the hap
piest girls in the city; whereas few days
ago she was perhaps one of the most mis-
cradle. Her trouble was neuralgia. Her
cure was little short of miracle. Upon
being asked about her case, the girl at once
proceeded to tell of her suffering. She
| wss attacked with neuralgia four weeks ago.
| The malady finally grew 50
| bad that she could find no rest night
| Or day. Her face became very much swol-
| len and the pain was of the most intense
character. She was told Of St. Jacobs
Oil, secured bottle, an dto her great de.
light, experienced relief almost simultane
eusly with the first application. Several
applications of the oil entirely relieved bel
and her face resumed it normal condition
She is now firm believer in st. jacob!
| OIL, and has a bottle ready for use shoule
the pain return. A number of people liv
ing in the Grand Union Hotel, who wit
messed the great sutf-rings Of Nora Maho
ney, will testify to the cure recited above
