Swimming School, a gentleman well and favorably |
known in thiseommunity, related the following re-

rheumatism, and also mad Il complicated with an
occasional attack Of iniammatory rheumatism.
There never was a time in those twenty years

can emphatically state that did not draw breath
for twenty years free from pain. For three years
past have suffered terribly. For seven month

in very bad shape. My limbs were frightnlly
swollen and was generally so situated that some
Of my friends did not think would live much
longer. Consequently, It would naturally take

eyes; two OF the men who were employed in
the building when 1t was used as a skating rink
had rheumatism. Upon my recommendation they
used st. Jacobs Oil and were cured outright
never saw remedy equal to it. Its effect upon
me has been wonderfully healing. 1 recon mend
It right along to everybody who has any kind of
pain"
Passing down Pennsylvania avenue, the re-
porter dropped in at Harvey's for lunch.
While conversing with Mr. Andrew Barns,
who runs tho cigar-stand in that popular
restaurant, the fact cropped out that the
Great German Remedy was also known in that
house as a wonderful healer. Mr.. Barns said 1t
was wonderful remedy for rheumatism. Last
winter he had rheumatism in his right leg, and,
by reason of the fact that he was much in the
draught from the constantly opening doors, he
| found II hard 10 control. While he did not say
anything about his troubles to any one and kept
at his post still his suferings were sometimes so
great as to almost make him cry out. He finally
used the st. Jacobs Oil, and six applications COM
pletey cured him. He thinks II grand remedy,
| and can recommend 1t rs q speedy and sure cure
for rheumatic pain.
sauntering through the Capitol, the man Of
| news accosted Mr. B. J. Cady, one of the guides of
nhe building, who is popular with visitors, and
who by his courteous manners has won the es-
TEEN of numerous strangers. Mr. Cady said he
had heard great deal about the wonderful power
of the st. Jacobs Oil in controlling pain, and he
had recently had occasion to note the truth of
what was said about the remedy by its effects upon
a member of his family. His mother-in- law Mrs.
Zimmerman residing at No. 643 East Capitol street,
| fell downstairs four weeks ago aud was severely
| hurt, since which time she has very bad pain
| in her left shoulder She has used arnlca and
other remedies without getting relief, and has
| dured much suffering. A few days ago she COM
| menced using the St. Jacobs OIL on her shoulder.
She experienced relief Immediately, and was
| about well. The Oil acted like magic. He had
heard some of the men employed about the Capt.
| toll building speak Of the ST. Jacobs Oil as Il fine
curative agent. He has also heard friends In the
city refer to the St. Jacobs Oil as the king of pain
The next gentleman called on was Captain G. w.
Rogers who stated that he had some satisfactory
| experience with tho ST. Jacobs OIL. Captain
Rogers, who lives at the Emmett House, said that
| he was lieutenant commander during the late
war in the United States navy, and contracted
severe cold from long exposure on the Red River.
Since that time he has suffered constant pain in
his hips He has been treated by physicians for
| rheumatism, but 1t has never been clear 10 his
| mind that 1t is rheumatism. The other day he
| thought he would try the st. Jacobs OIL as all
things else had for twenty years failed to give him
| relief, and the German Remedy was reputed to be
| the champion pain cure. He applied it TO one hip
and In order to test its merits quickly, applied 1t
| to the hip which always gave him the most pain.
| The result was magical. He never had anything
to give him such relief. At the time OF the inter-
| view he had only applied the Oil twice, and the
pain was practically quelled, while the other hip
upon which he had not used 1t, was very painful
Having tested the1pil fairly, Captain Rogers said
| no intended to employ 1t hereafter on both hips
| regularly until he is completely restored. He has
not the slightest doubt Of ultimate recovery, and
he believes it will only be question of a few days
| when he shall realize himself well man.
1t Is thus the people talk about the great curative
