Art yesterday to see what he could pick up
in the shape of en- item culied from the
plethora of the artists experience. Mr.. Morse
was found in the gallery in full working har-
ness.
Anything new in your line to-day, Mr..
Morse % said the reporter.
"Nothiug of thrilling interest, but enough
to keep my brain and hands busy"
"Helio Mr.. Morse, why have you got
that bottle stuck up there in full view of
sitters q asked the reporter, who had assumed
the chair in front of the camera.
"Pll tell you secret" said the artist.
"The condition precedent to good picture
is that the sitter shall divest himself of a set
and etony stare and position. In other words,
that he shall look pleasant. Now, the st.
Jacobs OIL is the present sensation in San
Francisco, and when fellow catches a
glimpse of that bottle it makes him smile.

Jacobs Oil. Yes, l have had some queer GUS
toners lately. One lady wanted ms to mako
her eyes blue in the picture, when her own
were as black as midnight. A tough cus-
toner smbled in here TIE other day ard
wanted me to take him in the attitude of
putting head on an adversary. Oh, We
have all sorts Of experiences in this business.
You can't imagine the yagsries Of the people
with reference to Photographic ART That
bottle of st. Jacobs Oil was the means yes
terday of opening the fooigates of sn eyed
visitors memory, who told me more stories
of rheumatism and rheumatic remedies than
I ever heard OF from any source. He quite
startled me at the conclusion of his reminiE-
cences by askirg if 1 could Photograph
reminds me that friend of mine has just
recovered from a severe attack. He was
cured by that very same st. JACOBS Oil.
I had il from his own lips day or two
since. Ne, l won't give you his name. for
il might get into the papers, and l don't
know his feelings on the subject OF such
publications But ne was a very great suf-
ferer and received no benefit from anything
until he hegan to use this remedy. He is
gentleman we'll known in the city for his
love of horsefesh, and for his connection
with matters pertsining thereto on this
coast. I saw sinf. out driving since his re.
covary. Hes sssSi6ates Is ali to St. Jacobs

needed. 1t is good thing TO be prepared
for emergencies, you know"
" Is business active in your li.le Just at this
time, Mr.. Morse?i

The "Cuba," situated on Montgomery
street, opposite the Morning Cal Office, is
place much pateonizsd by gentleman in San
Francisco who are foud or especially fire i'm
ported and domestic cigars. The reporter,
feeling rich enough to indulge in fragrant
Havana, called at the "Cuba" after his
interview with the artist further up the
street. While purchasing the weed he heard
Mr. Adoiph Griesser, tbs proprietor, talking
with customer about some wonderful cure
that had teen wrought by the Great German
Remedy. Here it was again. A rheumatic
remedy obtruding itselfevenin the place sacred
TO the god OF tobacco. MIR. Morse was right
when he spoke Of it as the present sensa-
tion =" in San Francisco. When the customer
went out the writer asker MIR. Griesss- about
the case referred to. That gentleman quickly
responded that friend, SW;-s professor,
had been cured Of rheumatism by using st.
Jacobs Oil. The result, too, Is somewhat of a
joke or the professor, who resorted to the
remedy under protest to convince snme
friends who urged its use Of the utility of
depending On advertised medicines. Con.
trary to his expectations, the disease, which
had previously refused to yisld TO regular
treatment, entirely disappeared under the
applications Of st. Jacobs Oil. The pro
fessor is grateful for his deliverauce from
pain, but a5 the same time is somewhat cha
grined that one of bis pet theories has thereby
been upset. Mr.. GTiesser further stated that
he hears much talk about the great German
remedy among his oustomers, Of character
highly favorable to its reputation as specific
for pain generally. He had fall sometime
since and hurt his back. Some of the larger
muscles wera considerably strained by the
accident, and he also sustained some bruises,
He applied st. Jacobs Oil, and experienced
entire relief. He did not know snything
about the medicine personally up to that
time, but was induced to try it by the &C.
counts he had heard OF it's power. Since it
has relieved him he has felt some personal in.
t;rest in It's performances, and takes mental
note OF what he hears people say about it.
He believes it great remedy
The reporter called upon the well.known
firm Of Langley & Michaels, wholesale drug
gists, northeast corner of Front and Pine,
and asked if there was any foundation in
fact for ali this fttrore about the phenomenal
sale of st. Jacobs Oil OF the coast, and the
general use into which it had so suddenly
leaped as Relevant Mr.. Michaels said
that he could best answer that question by
showing the scribe copy of letter which
the firm had written the proprietors Of the
Oil. A copy Of the letter was secured, and
is herewith printed. It is as follows:
We take pleasure in informing you that the de-
mand far exceeds anticipatiOns, and is unprece-
dented in experience with any similar article on
this coast From the favorable accounts which

steady sale. Yours truly,
This, coming from so large and careful
house as the above firm is known to be, IL
rather a stagg5rer to skepticisn.
