A miraculous Escape.

The st. Louis Mo-, Post Dispatch says: most
remarkable case has Just cone to the notice OF a
reporter OF this paper, who, having been informed
OF the wonderful cure OF Mrs. Phoebe Rice, 1908
Madison street, a sister OF Hon. II. Clay Sexton,
Chief OF the St. Louis Fire Department. visited that
lady at her resif ence. Mrs Rice made her state
ment without tie least reluctance and said that
for the past seven years she had been sufferer
from acute inf1ammatory rheumatism, which had
affected the muscles OF the hands, contracting
them so badly she could not comb her hair, hold
needle or pick up pin, and rendered the lower
limbs so helpless she required clutches to move
about During ten months She was obliged to carry
the right hand In Sling. Physicians were called
In, but gave her only temporary relief. Some time
ago one OF her children was afflicted with con-
traction OF the muscles OF the lower jaw, which
turned her mouth to one side; few applications
OF st. Jacobs Oil restored the features to their
natural condition, and Mrs Rice began to
look hopefully towards 1t for her own cure.
A single application, she said, made her
firm believer In its virtues, as the effect was
instantaneous and she was greatly benefited.
The continued use OF 1t brought her to the happy
state In which the reporter saw her, with the free
use OF her limbs and in perfect health, cured. She
was very enthusiastic In her concentrations Of the
pain-relieving and curative powers OF st. Jacobs
Oh, which she said had accomplished more for her
In few weeks than all the other remedies the
physicians had recommended in the past seven
years She can now run up and down stairs, she
said, and her hands we're as useful, In every re-
spect as they had been before she began to suffer-
seven years ago. "God bless st. Jacobs OH" the
good lady exclaimed, as the reporter was about to
leave Mrs Rice has lived in this city thirty
years, and her statement, worthy OF all credence,
is fully corrObOrated by her friends and neghbors,
and by her own children who were fully cogniza ant
OF her helpless condition before she began to use
the wonderful remedy.
