way of cnlisting the interest and the
fancy of its readers by its Prize Compe-

and showed tina the drawing-lessons at

"The Drawing of the Child Figure" bids
fair to be of great interest to children,

A Fact.
(From an interview, N. Y. Worldly

(frOm an interview, N. Y. Woflu.)
In an interview with leading drug.hous
the N. Y. World, Nov. 9, 1890, gives the fol
lowing comment on the proprietors of re-
liable patent medicines:
''He is specialist, and should know more
OF the disease he actually treats than the
ordinary physician; for while the latter
may come across say fifty cases in year
of the particular disease which this med.
icine combats its manufacturer investi-
gates thousands. Don't you suppose his
prescription, which you buy ready made up
for 80 cents, is likely to do more good
than that OF the ordinary physician, who
charges you anywhere from 81 to SO for
giving it, and leaves you to pay the cost of
having it prepared2
"The patent medicine man, too, usually
has the good sense to conhne himself to or
dinary every day diseases, He leaves to the
physician cases in which there is immediate
danger to life, such as violent fevers He
oes this because, in the treatment of such
ses, there are other elements of impor-
tance besides medicine such as proper diet
ing, good nursing, a knowledge of the
patients strength and so on. Where there
is no absolute danger to life, where the dis
ease is one which the patient can diagnose
for himself or which some physician has
already determined, the patent medicine
maker says fearlessly: 4 have prepara-
tion which is better than any other known
and which will cure YOU In nine cases
out of ten his statement is true"
This is absolutely true as regards the
great remedy for pain, st. Jacobs Oil. 1t
can assert without fear of contradiction,
that it is prompt and permanent cure of
pain. 1t can show proofs of cures of chronic
cases of 20, 80 and 40 years. standing. In
truth it rarely ever fails if used according
to directions, and a large proportion Of
cures is made by half the contents of sin.
