CURED BY ST. JACOBS OIL.
Unable to stand For Months because
of Sprnined Ankles.
(From the Cardiff Times.

ltrom the CardlH ilmes.)
Among the thousands of voluntary en-
dorsement, of the great value of st. Ja-
cobs Oil for spralns, stiffness, and soreness,
is that of Mrs. G.. Thomas, Alexandra
Road, Cell, Ysbrod, near Pontypridd,
South Wales, who says:-
1T is with great pleasure that | add my
willing testimony to the invaluable excel
lence of your celebrated St. Jacobs Oil, as
experienced in my own case. | sprained
both my ankles in walking down some steps
30 severely that 1 was unable to stand tor
several months. The pain l suffered was
most severe, and nothing that / used Helped
me until l applied st. Jacobs Oil, wnen
they Immediately became better daily, and
in a short time l was able to go about, and
soon after l was quite cured. | am now
determined to advise all persons suffering
from pains to use this wonderful remedy,
which did so much for me.
Mrs. Thomas does not enlighten us as to
what treatment she pursued during the
months she was unable to stand, and dur
ing which time she was suffering so much,
but we venture to suggest that had she
called in any well known medical man he
would have at once have prescribed st. Ja-
cobs OIL for it has conquered pain upwards
of fifty years, and doctors know there is
nothing so good. The proprietors of St.
Jacobs Oil have been awarded twelve gold
medals by different international exfib-
tions as the premium pain-killing remedy of
the world. The committees who made the
awards were in each instance composed
largely of the most eminent medical men
obtainable. Mrs. Thomas evidently did not
know the high opinion in which st. Ja-
cobs Oil is held by almost every progressive
medical man

The railroad commission declined to make
lower rate on the ground that it would

the square bale. the latter being the larger
shippers Notwithstanding this ruling round
bale plants sprung up all over the State
Last year there was no special kick made
hut this year it Is somewhat different.
Nearly all of the business of the round

kind that railroads want to get, hence there
is sharp competition for the round bale
business. 1t is claimed that the Gulf, Colo

that there Is suspicion with other roads
that there Is an understanding between

are to be made over that road. There is
strong talk OF competing roads taking the
