suggest that had she called in any
well-knOwn medical man he would
have at once prescribed st. Jacobs OIL,
for it has conquered pain upwards OF
llfty years, and doctors know there i3
nothing so good. The proprlctCrs OF
st. Jacobs oil have been awarded
twelve gold medals by different inter-
national exhibitions as the premier
pain-killing remedy OF the world. The
committees who made the awards were
in each instance composed largely of
the most eminent medical men OBJ

not know the high opinion in which
st. Jacobs Oil is held by almost every
