as to his injuries during the war. he said:
II was severely wounded at PittsburR
Landing, where ] received bullet in my
| leg, and another leg was crushed at
| Chiokamauga by my horse falling on me,
iniuring my arm also. Sometimes havo
thought my wounds and injuries would
drive me crazy. l seemed TO have n
spasm Of tho bono in my crushed log.
/ The strongest Opiates gave mo but
temporary relief. 1t must, in the
end, have driven me wild. But re-
Gently, upon the recommendation Of o
largo number of acguaintances aud
friends. i was persuaded to use st. Jacobs
Oil, the great pain cure. 1t gave me re-
lief in two days, and after one weeks uso
| was entirely cured" Mr.. Flanagan
spoke Enthusiastically Of his marvellous
recovery, and when asked who the parties
were that induced him TO try the article.
he named numerous persons, and the re-
porter set out TO look few of them up.
Tho first person encountered was Mr.. Guy
West. 610 Shelby street, an attache of the
Kentucky Machinery company, who
said: "My wife lay fiat on her back for
nine months, suffering with intlammatory
rheumatism in her sides and face. The
first application Of st. Jacobs Oil gave hei
right smart relief. She did not use two
bottles before she could walk about tho
room. In n woek she astonished the
household by getting breakfast. 1t is the
best medicine that / ever saw"
Officer J. j. Troutman, 733 West Wal.
nut street, says: "My brother VIII wa'
sorely afflicted with rheumatism for ten
months; he couldn't sleep, and felt that
death would be relief The doctors had
monkeyod with him for long while, bui
all for no good. He tried st. Jacobs Oh
and before the second bottle had been
used was up and able to get around. He
has since removed TO Wyoming Territory
and has mover been troubled with II
again. l regard his cure Us little less tha at
miraculous. st. Jacobs Oils efficacy can
not be too highly praised"
Other well known people gavo testi
mony equally as enthusiastic in favor o
this popular household article.
