The worlds Champion.

MIR. Edward Harlan, the great oars
man, and until his recent contest with
Beech in Australia, the champion of
the world, may certainly be looked up
on as an authority in everything affect
ing athletic sports. Before leaving
Australia for this country, he wrote a
letter in which he stated that he had
used St. Jacobs Oil with the most bene-
fetal results. He found it a reliable
remedy for muscular pains in the arms
and limbs, and from his personal ex-
perieRce took great pleasure in recon
mending it, No stronger proof of the
truth of what is claimed for st. Jacobs
Oil could be furnished than this, and Il
will undoubtedly carry great weight
with all thoughtful and intelligent poc-
pie.
