The Worlds Champion.

Mr.. Edward Hanlan the great oars.
man and until his recent contest with
Beach in Australia, the champion of the
world, may certainly be looked upon as
an authority IN everything affecting ath-
letic sports. Before leaving Australia
for this county, he wrote letter in which
he stated that he had used St Jacobs
Oil with the most beneficial results. He
found it a reliable remedy for muscular
pains in the arms and limbs, and from
his personal experience took great pleas
ure in recommending it. No stronger
proof of the truth Of what is claimed for
S.. Jacobs Oil could be furnished than
this, and it will undoubtedly carry great
weight with all thoughtful and intelli-
