proved the value and felt the good of this Great
German Remedy, and glad to recommend it
to all needing the services OF just such remedy.
In this connection Mr.. John 5. Briggs a well
known citizen of Omaha, Neb., told newspaper
man that he was terribly afflicted with an acute
attack of rheumatism in his back. The disease,
which had been preying upon him for years had
drawn him out of shape. He resorted to every
remedy known to physicians, but found no relief
until he tried ST. JACOBS OIL, one bottle of which
effected a complete and radical cure. Another
case may justify reference:
A VETERAN SEAlAN'S TROUBLE.
Editor Inter- Ocean, Chicago H.: send you this,
feeling that the information conveyed will be OF
material benefit to many of your readers. One
of our oldest citizens, Captain c. w. Boynton, the
Government Lighthouse keeper at this point is
probably one of the oldest seamen In America,
having sailed tWenty-six years on salt water.
After this forty-six years service his eyesight
failed him and he kept the Light at Chicago until
the Government built the Gross Point Light here,
when he was transferred. While seated in my
store this morning the Captain volunteered the
following written statement: " This is to certify
that have been afflicted with rheumatism for
twenty (20) years, both in my side and limbs |
am happy to say that after using less than two bot
ties of the ST. JACOBS OIL, am entirely free from
pain, though still limping somewhat when walk
ing, from long force of habit. C. w. BoYNToN.''
Referring to the foregoing facts might allude to
numerous similar cases that have come to nv
notice, but SO word to the wise is sufficient"

la valuable paper on arsenic noison-

A valuable paper on arsenic poison
ing was recently read before the So
ciety of Arts, London, by DIR. Carr, an
eminent chemist. Limiting his atten-
ton to poisonous materials used in
manufactures and allowed to remain in
the finished goods, the author treated
the subject as affecting both the public
and the trades. The principal offenders
put on their trial are the arsenical pig
ments in wallpapers, arsenical dyes in
cotton fabrics, such as curtains, chintz,
tarletans, etc., in artists water colors
and common paint, poisonous colors
busted on in photographic printing and
in tin-plate work. Poison is also intro
duced in artificial flowers, lamp-shades,
fy-papers, cardboard boxes and labels
The allegation that the deleterious
character of the pigments in question
has been. much exaggerated DR.. Carr
meets with an imposing array of medi-
cal testimony.

The state horticultural institute met
in Fowle's Hall, Hudson, Feb. 28.
There was a large delegation from
abroad, among whom were President
T. T. Lyon, of Grand Haven; Secretary
Chas. w. Fairfield, of Grand Rapids;
Treasurer, s. w. Pearsall, Of Grand
Rapids; Prof. Beal. of the agricultural
college at Lansing; Z. III. Scott, of Ann
Arbor; A. ID. Healy, of South Haven,
and James Satterlee, of Greenville.
Owing to the inclemancy of the wealth
or and unsettled condition of the roads,
the attendance from the country was
small. 80 ~
DIR. A. r. Smart, President of the
village, delivered the address of well
come, which was ably responded TO by
the president Of the society, It. Lyon.
He was followed by S. w. Dorr, of
Manchester, with paper on "Build-
ings," in which he gave profitable
and instructive description of n "coOl.

the preservation of fruit-principally

Sanitary Convention.

;, In the recent sanitary convention
held in Ann Arbor Mayor Kapp made
the welcome address In behalf of the
city, and was responded to by Hon. LIE
roy Parker of the State Board of Health
in remarks explanatory, of the objects
Of the convention. Justice II. M
Cooley delivered very able and In
structive address, showing "What the
Law Can do for the Health Of the PeO-
ple." He treated Of the cases which
render the interposition of the state ne
cessary. These grow out of the in
adequacy of individual care, and the
ignorance and imprudence of individu-
ais, making stringent police, and quar-
antine regulations necessary. All
countries adopt and inforce quarantine
regulations, and the more so as they be-
come civilized. 1t was for the want of
these in former times that the plague
and cholera had ragged, and in later
times the yellow fever at Memphis.
DIR. Lundy, Of the Michigan College
Of Medicine, gave an instructive ad-
dress on "Hygiene in its Relation to
the Eye" The gist of the lecture is
contained in the following suggestions
with which it closed
!. Avoid reading and study by poor light.
2. Light should come from the side, and
not from the back or from the 'front.'
3. DO not read or study while suffering
Illness

b. Do not use the eyes too long at time for

matically.
Z. During study avoid the STOPPING position,
or whatever tends to produce congestion Of
the head and face.
5. Select well printed books.
.. Correct errors OF resractiOn with proper
glasses.
10. Avoid bad hygienic conditions, and the
use Of alcohol and tobacco.
IL. Take sufficient exercise In tho open
air.
IL. Let the physical keep pace with the
mental culture, for asthenOpia Is most usually
observed in those who are lacking In physical
development.
Di. Lyster read an instructive paper
on the Ambulance Hospital for Small
pox.". He advocated the building and
maintainance of cottage hospitals for
small pox, as in England. They are
not only better. but more economical
than the pest house. The experience
of tent life in the army and everywhere
is on the side of ambulance hospitals,
as favorable to fresh air, easy ventila-
tion, the exclusion Of light, and other
conditions which lessj expose the pa
tient and hasten convalescence.

1t was the afternoon of Tuesday,
June ID, 1864. We had been marching
and lighting almost continually for five
weeks and more, from the Wilderness
to Spottsylvania, over the North Anna,
i'm at Cold Harbor, across the Pamunky
and over the Chickahominy TO the
banks Of the James River, about mile
and half from which we were now
lying, along dusty road. We were
sunburned, covered with dust, and gen.
orally used up. so that a swim in the
river would be refreshment indeed.
Having learned from one of the Off
GERS that the intention evidently was 10
remain where we then were until the
entire corps should come up, and that
we should probably cross the river al
or somewhere near that point, we re
solved TO risk it.
So, over corn-feld we started at {
good pace. We had not gone far wher

Relief has been dispensed under the
following general classihcati0ns: Pro-

Astonishlng..the Natives.

Surprises are the order of the day; in
matters political, ecclesiastical, civil,
and even medical, we hear of things
strange-and stranger are daily prom
ised. One of our representatives lately
dropped into the Palmer House, and
there, in the coy Office occupied by our
friend, Mr.. Frank III. Brooks, manager
of the Kansas City Times. We found
that gentleman costly seated and buss
ed over his correspondence. The writ
er asked Mr.. Brooks if he knew of any
cures wrought by st. Jacobs Oil.
81 do indeed" said Mr.. B. II know
that it cured me. This is how it hap
pened: was living in st. Louis
couple of years ago, and one very slip
perry night l was rather late in getting
home and had some trouble in picking
my way. l had assembled some five or
six steps which led up to my front
door, and just as l had gained the top
I stopped to insert my latch-key, when
my foot slipped from under me and
precipitated me downward to an iron
railing across which fell, striking the
small of my back. l was injured so
badly as to he barely able to enter the
house. In the morning i was worse.
My back was painful, swollen, and dis
colored. My, wife, who always keeps
st. Jacobs Oil in the house and protests
that 1t is invaluable, applied it to my
back in the morning, and it afforded
me great deal Of ease; it was applied
again that night, and SO on for a couple
Of days. by which time was complete
ly cured. think st. Jacobs Oil is q
great medicine"
We now begin to think that we
would certainly "astonish the natives"
We were ourselves astonished, but
doomed to be more so, for, after bid
ding Mr.. Brooks good day, we were
strOlling down State street, and we ran
plump into the arms of our friend Mr..
P. +. Barry. Of EnglewoOd. Everybody
knows Mr.. Barry as being the late
member Of the legislature from Home
City. Mr.. B. has just returned from
the east. We popped the question to
Mr.. b. and Judge of our surprise to
hear that gentleman say:
"My wife keeps st. Jacobs Oil inlthe
house at all times. She used it for the
rheumatism and the neuralgia, and
Ound it an excellent remedy for both;
he thinks there is nothing like It,
There is an old lady out my way who
was cured of the rheumatism by st.
Jacobs Oil, and she is ready to swear
by it. You can tell your readers fol
me that 1 endorse st. Jacobs Oil, the
Great German Remedy, and consider 1t
an excellent thing"
On my way home to tea / dropped
into the drug store Of A. M. Lancaster,
No. 76 North Wells street, and that
gentleman srid:
"There is gentleman named JAMS

think still Is, foreman for Adams &

inhammatory rheumatism. He in
formed me of the case some time ago
and said his daughter had been cured
also. He purchased the Oil here in my

The work of furnishing lumber and

so large were the quantities required
beyond the available stocks within
reach, that some time was unavoida-
bly, consumed before all the sufferers

the supply, advances and donations
were made to owners of saw-mills de.
