known, that gentleman occupying fore
most position in mercantile, social and finan-
clai circles OF this city and State. has of late
actively identified himself with the enter

now agitated.
1t will appear to every reader of the cir
cumstances, as developed below, that the sub
Ject matter Of the inquiry has become
power i'll the land, consequently every citi-
zen, everyone having his own welfare and
the welfare of others at heart, will find it to
his interest to be guided and influenced by
the disclosures as here presented. The peo-
pie and the press elsewhere are fully alive to
the subject, and, as will be seen, the State of
Maryland is heartily falling into line The
measure in question is already approved of,
not only by the leading men of this country,
but by thinking people everywhere through
out the world. Nothing appeals so power
fully to the understanding of a community
as facts, and for this reason the expressed
opinions of well-known men are given here
with The first gentleman whose views were
sought was
HON. oDEN BOWIE,
Ex-Governor of Maryland than whom, there
Is no one better known in our State from
his close connection in a representative
capacity, with some of Baltimores leading
enterprises, which gives special weight to
his convictions. The Governor who is, as is
known, the President of the City Passenger
Railway Company, and of the Maryland
Jockey Club, stated that he was pleased to
say, that in his family, his private stables, as
also the stables of the railway company he
had for some time used st. Jacobs Oil, most
satisfactorily as cure for painful ailments.
1t gave him pleasure. he said, to indorse the
article as the best liniment for man and
beast, he had ever used. Governor Bowie is
an enthusiastic horseman, and his stables
have produced some of the finest racers in
America.
The next gentleman interviewed was
COLONEL HARRISON ADREoN,
postmaster, Baltimore, Nd, who was like
wise emphatic in giving his experience The
Colonel stated that his family considered St.
Jacobs Oil most excellent remedy. They
had frequent occasion to use it, and kept it
constantly in the house. l believe it to be,
he continued, worthy OF all that is said in
its favor, and ii you will call on Mr.. Bailey,
of this office, you will find another of its
warm advocates. The reporter, acting upon
this advice, visited
MR.. NJ. p BAILEY, SUPERINTENDENT OF THE
MAILS.
The report he received was as follows: ST.
Jacobs Oil is the best remedy in the world
for rheumatism, sprains, sore feet and joints,
bruises and other painful ailments. For
fishermen and gunners, it is especially val
liable. l think everybody ought to keep a
bottle.
AT THE WINDOW.
There is no more familiar face in the city
than that OF George w. Johnson, superin-
tendent stamp division, Baltimore postotfice,
who has been at the stamp window for the
past ten years. Mr.. Johnson was found to be
an enthusiastic believer in the virtue of ST.
Jacobs Oil. In 1881, he said, he had rheu-
matism so badly he could hardly get about
and was relieved by the use of st. Jocobs OIL.
He has never been without it since. His
boy fell and spraned his knee, and another
free use OF the great pain-conquerer relieved
him Immediately.
PRESIDENT JOHN W. GARRETT,
of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, is gentle
man whose standing in the community,
coupled with the fact that he has so largely
contributed to the material prosperity of the
State, lend special value TO an expression of
his views st. Jacobs Oil is in use at his
magnificent country home and stock farm,
Montebello, and he referred the reporter to
his attendants there, who have charge of his
magnificent Arabian and other stock. The
first one interviewed was Mr.. Richard Bren-
nan, one of Mr.. CARROTS horsemen and
trusted drivers who gave an instance in the
cure of young man on the place by the use
of the oil. The youth had been most ser-
ously bruised and famed by fall causing
very distressing misery. thorough appli-
cation of st. Jacobs Oil was made at night
and the next day, in Mr. Brennans words,
"the young man was as timber as an eel" He
cited also the case of Mr.. Ellis, dairyman,
who suffered greatly from rheumatism but
by the use of st. Jacobs Oil was so sreedily
cured that he pronounced it the "bos3' med
icine.
Mr.. John Haggerty, trainer at Montebello
formerly of Robert Bonner's famous stock
raising establishment, SAID that he regarded
st. Jacobs Oil as the best thing that had ever
come under his notice. He ha6 used it ior
scratches sores and sprains in horses, and it
always cured also, numerous cures of pain
full ailments, both among horses. cattle and
human beings, had come to his notice
Friends of his in New York, and in all parts
of the country, had used st. Jacobs Oil for
rheumatism, neuralgia and other ailments,
and were ready to swear by it. Mr.. Hag-
gerty is a quiet, experienced handler of
horses, who has had charge of some of the
most noted stock of the country.
