ga travelling man has many queer
experiences" said w. d. Franklin the
other evening at the Abbott House
while conversing with some gentlemen.
The speaker was young man with a
fine. intelligent face-a man well known
in this State from his active efforts in
behalf of the Continental Collection
Union, of Cincinnati, with which he is
connected. II have just been reading
in this paper" continued Mr.. Franklin,
tapping copy of the Kansas City
Times, can article on popular remedy,
which recalls a Renaissance of Ken
lucky travel. / think it was last fall
that | was going from Lebanon to
Springfield, Kentucky, in stage coach.
The route was somewhat tedions, and |
was glad of an Opportunity to talk
to one of the passengers, a very
pretty and intelligent young lady. You
know how soon persons become ac-
quainted under such circumstances and
grow communicative. We were not
exceptions to the rule. l do not re-
member how the subject of rheuma-
tism came to be mentioned, but we
found ourselves talking about it quite
seriously. Before dropping the subject,
which is by no means the most agree
able in stage coach on cold autumn
day, the lady told me of a most remark
able cure wrought by the Great Ger
man Remedy, st. Jacobs Oil, about
which everybody in this Western
coultry seems to be going crazy. She
stated that her sister was great sufferer
| from rheumatism and despaired of get
ting well. Physicians had exhausted
their skill in treating her. Seeing the
advertisement of st. Jacobs Oil in the
papers, she thought it might help her.
So she commenced to use it with some
faint hope of obtaining relief. but
scarcely expecting cure. She received
relief Immediately after commencing to
use the Oil and was finally cured. And
now," added Mr.. Franklin, 81 see that
the remedy is curing all the horses i'll
Coles Circus, 80 that it must be a
specific for pain both in man and
beast. 1t certainly has obtained great
popularity for / meet with its devotees
wherever CO."
A man who sometimes contributes
articles for the press was sitting in the
company and participated in the con-
versation which followed the above
statement upon the merits of st. Jacobs
| Oil. Subsequently the writer mention
ed the German Remedy in the pres
ence of S. ]. Lambert, proprietor of the
| Abbott House, and received the prompt
| information from that gentleman that
st. Jacobs Oil was the boss rheumatic
specific. "It has cured myself and
wife," said Mr.. Lambert, "of rhuma-
tism. We both had rheumatism-in
| hammatory rheumatism, too-and had
| it bad. / believed in the remedy
which every one was praising and used
it. | have ever since been glad that |
did SO, for both my wife and myself
realized speedy relief and cure. The
st. Jacobs Oil is splendid curative
power; in short is just the best of lini-
ments."
On Riggs avenue is located the popu
lar confectionery store of S. c. Sloan.
Mr.. Sloan told the reporter that he has
always found more relief from st. Ja-
cobs Oil than anything else. Mr.. Sloan
is subject to neuralgia of the stomach.
He has been so troubled for years, and
will probably be subject to it all his life.
Sometimes he wakes at night horri
BILE pain gnawing at his vitals. I'M
mediately ne applies St. Jacobs Oil.
One application always gives relief. 1t
is the only thing that will do it. Mr..
Sloan also stated that he has seen the
Great German Remedy do wonders in
case of sprain. One of his men once
sprained his ankle and arm by falling
off horse. He was in a very bad
plight. The ankle became very much
swollen and the pain was very great.
The man was treated with ST. Jacobs
Oil and was at work in four days. His
cure was wonderful.
