CUTTING BATES,
War On Travellers Torment,


While sauntering leisurely down Canal
street, the other day, our young man OBJ
served a sign suspended over the door of
On elegantly fitted up Office which stands
just opposite the new Union Depot. It
was not the grandness of that sign that at
tracted our y. MS attention, but the in
scriptien thereon, which read as follows:
"Nat Reeves, Railroad and Steamship
Ticket Broker, No. 70 South Canal street,
Chicago, ILL.," Nat Reeves-Nat Reeves
thought our y. NJ: we'll, certainly this can
not be the Nat I knew some years ago in
the city of Covington, K kentucky. Now, as
thinking the matter over would not solve
the question, even though our y. m.
thought until dooms-day, he very sensibly
resolved to enter and search for ocular
demonstration.
The young man who smilingly looked
up from the desk proved to be the gentle
man sought for, and after pleasant greet
ing our y. na., who has but lately arrived
from the Buckeye state and is not posted
in the biz, asked Nat to explain, which
that gentleman did in the following manner:
"When last met you, said Nat, you re.

tism-that is; was in a sad condition,

for it, and was paying out money as fast as

how much money it can cost until he gets

will know. I tried doctor after doctor,
and remedy after remedy, but all to no avail.

succeeding morning enhanced the pleasant

should prefer walking-well, I can make the

The writer, after leaving the Offices of
street, and just as he rounded the corner Of
Ca Sale street he met face to face with an
other old-time acquaintance-Mr. Mel G..
Holding, formerly in the grocery business
| at the corner of Fourth and Scott streets,
! 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 be?
I wonder if 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 I did use it. was
the reply, "and that is not the beauty of it
| but that used it andwas cure1 of q bad
case of the rheumatism; my arms and
shoulders were in terrible state when I
began its use. My mother, who had en-
ployed St. Jacobs Oil, would not hear of
my trying anything else, so I purchased a
bottle and rubbed it upon my shoulders on
retiring. The next day I felt greatly in-
proved, and in three or four days was as
we'll as ever. St. Jacobs Oil is quick, safe,
sure and perfectly permanent cure"
That was talking at a cutting rate, at least
| so the writer thought, and now he wishes
| to ask, with Mr.. Holding, if there is anyone
who has not used st. Jacobs Oil-the Great
German Remedy.
