"I Have Been Partially Dead and An,
Cured"

Cured"
The Baltimore NEaryland) Morning
Herald publishes the following statement
of Major. B. s. White, salesman, Balti-
more, Nd: II have been a partially dead
man for ten years. My flesh was cold and
lifeless. Doctors attributed my suffering
to the enlargement of certain glands. The
quantity of medicine took without relief
would set up an apothecary shop. tried
Turkish ard Electric Baths with only
temporary relief. Finally st. Jacobs Oil
was recommended. L tried it, rubbing
my spine thoroughly with it. This was
repeated several times, and all the knots,
kinks and stiffness passed away. I thank
God [ am myself again. have no hesita-
ton in saying that for acute local pains
ST. Jacobs Oil is a safe certain and speedy
remedy for man or beast"

Promptly Cured After Being Utterly
HelplesS

AACl SAOSS'
The St. Louis Post Dispatch publishes
the following editorially: "a remarkable
case has just come to the notice of re-
porter 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 depar visited that lady
at her residence. She was very enthusiasts.
tic in her Communications of the pain-re-
lieving and curative powers of st. Jacobs
OIL which she said had accomplished more
for her iii a few weeks than all the other
remedies the physicians had recommended
il the past seven years. Mrs. Rice made
her statement without the least reluctance,
and very readily said that for the past
seven years she had been sufferer from
acute inhannatory rheumatism, which
had affected the muscles of her hands
contracting them so badly she could not
comb her hair, hold needle or pick I'D a
pin, and rendered the lower limbs so help
less she required crutches to move about.
During ten months she was obliged to
carry the right hand in sling. Physi-
clans were called in, but gave her only
temporary relief. Some time ago one of
her children was afflicted with contrac-
tion OF the muscles of the lower jaw.
which turned her mouth to enc side. a
few applications of st. Jacobs Oil restored
the features to their natural condition.
and Mrs. Rice began to look hopefully
towards it for her own cure. A single an.
plication, she said, made her a firm be-
lever in its virtues as the effect was
instantaneous, and she was greatly bene-
fitted. The continued use of it brought her
to the happy condition in which the re,
porter saw her, with the free use Of her
limbs and in perfect health, cured. She
can now run up and down stairs, she
said. and her hands were as useful in every
respect as they had been before she began
to suffer, seven years ago. God bless st.
Jacobs Oil, the good lady exclaimed, as
the reporter was about TO leave. Mrs. Rice
mas lived in this city thirty years, aud her
statement, worthy of all credence, is fully
corroborated by her friends and neighbors
and by her own children, who We're fully
cognizant of her helpless, condition before
she began to use the wonderful remedy"

gulsed that tinkering the revenue laws has

According to the best authority there
seems to be an agreement among the New
York merchants that the prospects for the
fall trade are very encouraging. There is
no boom, but there promises to be pros
porous trade with advanced prices. Which
prompts the Chicago Times TO remark
This is the testimony of Chicago and
other trade centers, and altogether an un
fortunate state of things exists in the bust

THE BALANCE OF TRADE.-Treasury
statistics to August lst show the balance of
trade for the past year to have been largely
in our favor The excess Of exports over
imports during the year was $lGl ,0S9,2li.
SO large a balance in our favor shows, not
that business here has been booming or
even prosperous, for when that is the con
dition and people feel rich and comforta-
bic, they almost invariably bay more than
they sell; but it shows that the country is
in that healthy condition when it is econo-
mizlng, paying its debts, and laying the
solid foundation for another era Of boom
ing prosperity close at hand
