After passing the compliments of the

sOnal experience. He also stated that
no circus troupe Travelled without
having on hand a plentiful supply Of
St. Jacobs Oil, aud he has frequently
seen the artists of the ring apply ID

bruises during a performance, a thing
/ which is of daily occurrence i'll the lie
