lSan Francisco (Ca'.) Chronicle.l
| A gentleman connected with the San Fran
| cisco press, who has more than usual desire
| to inform himself on current events, and to
become acquainted with every fact of i'm
portance, has had considerable experience of
late in ascertaining the real standing Of a
certain article which is being prominently
placed before our people by means of the
press and otherwise. He has made diligent
inquiry. Neither rich nor poor has escaped
his researches and he is compelled, even
against his inclination, to acknowledge the
popularity Of the preparation in question,
and that the demand, at present great, is
| growing rapidly. In the course of his ram.
bles he dropped in at the Selby Smelling and
Lead Works at North Beach, where he had
3 cha. with Mr.. Layne, the Superintendent.
1 The gentleman remarked: II recently had
occasion to give st. Jacobs Oil thorough
trial. 1 hsd bruised myself in the chest, and
the Great German Remedy was applied with
the most happy result" said Mr.. Layne,
''snd furthermore l have cured my horse of a
sprained ankle by the same Oii.n The re-
porter made mental memoranda of the case,
and when he saw w. L. Wenzell, the phar-
maceutical chemist, corner of Market and
Stockton streets, he also asked him his opin-
| ion Of the Great German Remedy. "Oh,"
said Mr.. Wenzell, 1.-THE sooner sind more
thoroughly the public knows sll about this
| st. Jacobs Oil the better. L think they are
| lesrniDg its merits rapidly, for it is the best
selling article have in stock. 1t is safe to
| say, judging by my customers report, it is an
| admirable :hing for rheumatic pains and all
| kinds of aches" James Il. Gates at the
corner of New Montgomery and Howard
| streets, is another druggist of reputation who
was consulted in regard to the remedy, its
uses and it's popularity. He put his opilion
into words with great promptness and dis.
patch. you can tell your readers" said
| he, that St. Jacobs OIL has had big success
with me. / am selling it right along, and my
| customers are high in their praise of it as
safe and ethcacious 10 cases of rheumatism

| Gates for the information, our sesrcher after
| facts called in at the popular German drug
( store of Messrs. Hartzig & Schultzs. corner
| Third and Everett streets, and were told b.
| them that their customers spoke very highly
of the OIL as a cure for all pli1s. 1.-THE best
proof of its popularity" continued Messrs.
| II. & S, is the almost iDcessapt demand.
It is selling like h3t cakes, and We have
| to order supplies almost daily. | thiuk, !"
| the dluggis. added to the information.
| gatherer, "you bad better go down among
| the workshops to get bedrock facts as 20 the
! reputation Of the Great German Remedy"
/ Agreeing this wss good ides, our indefatiga.
| BILE truth seeker wendell his way toward
Mission. Bssle, Fremont and Main streets.
His first encounter was with MIR. G. G.. Gil
more, foreman of the extensive mill and box
| factory of Hobbs, Wall & Co., Bsale and
! Union streets. Mr. Gilmore chearfuly testi
| fed to the efficacy of st. jacobs Oil in cases
that had cems unde: his own observation.
~ consider it the best medicine in the world
fer rheumatism" he said " ono friend CT
mine was cured Of a severe case by its use,
aud another recovered from a lame hack after
applying the oil a few times. You can get
plenty CT faces of the same kind in this
neighborhood." Mr.. c. s. Biglow, one of the
proprietors of the Western Iron Works, BIG
/ ana 3lS Mission street, between Fremont and
Beale, was evan warmer in his praises OF st.
| Jacobs Oil than Mc. Gilmore. To usa his
own words, he considered it the boss medi-
| cine for rheumatism" for he himself had bean
/ cured of a severe case by its use. Pursuing
| his inquiries the gstherer OF facts entered the
| Mechanics Mills at the corner of Mission
! and Fremont streets, owpei by Wells, Rus
sell & Co., where be was introduced to MIR.
John Welsh, the foreman. Have you mad
| shy experience" he asked, sol this St. Ja-
| cobs Oil, or observed whether the men in the
| shop use it IS a remedg IL cases OF accidents
| or for psius 2 beli7vs they use nothing
but this Oil" replied Mr.. Welsh. "OHe of
the hands employed in the mills jlnmed his
| foot badly not loug ago, and in : short time,
after applying the Oh thoroughly, he was
entirely cured. Had il not been for the
Great German Remedy he would have been
laid up for a week. In my opinion there is
no article under the sun equsl to Sc. Jacobs
| OIL for the purpose designed" Being pretty
well satisfied, by these inquiries, of the value
OF She Great German Remedy and the uliyer-
salty of its use, the gentleman Of tie press
had concluded TO seek no further but il was
suggested TO him that the Fulton Iron Works.
| the impurtant establishment of SDisFs a
| Hayes, on Fremont street, might contribute
to his stock of information, and he bent his
way thither. He found the proprietors in
and their testimony was most conclusive.
"St. Jacobs OIL" they said, sis an indis
pensable article in cur works. The hands
employed say they cannot do without it.
They have used the remedy for sprains
| bruises, burns. cuts and all kinds of hurts
| aud accidents, and it has never failed to cure.
| 1t is an article that is worth the highest
| recommendations"
