OLD JOE, THE NIGHT wAToHMAN


(From the Pail Mall Gazette Landau F,
How often on returning homo late
on a dreary winters night has our
sympathy gone out to the poor old
night-watchman as he SAT huddled I'M
over his cage fire. overlooking the ex-
cavations which our city council In
their wisdom or otherwise. allow the
different water companies to make 80
frequently In our congested streets.
In all weathers and under all climatic
conditions, the poor old night-watch-
man Is obliged to keep watch over the
companies property. and to see that
the RED lights are kept burning. What
life, to be sure: what priyations and
hardships; no wonder they have aches
and pains, which nothing but St. ia
cobs Oil can alleviate.
"Old Joe" Is in the EMPLOY Of thu
Lambeth Water Works, and IS well
and favorably known. He has been
night-watchman for many years. In
the course of which he has undergone
told, he contracted rheumatism and sci
Atica, which fairly doubled him up, and
1t began to look serious matter for old
Joe whether he would much longer be
able to perform his duties, on which
his good wife and himself depended
for livelihood; but as it happened,
passerby, who had for some nights no.

iented him with bottle of st. Jacobs
OIL, and told him to use it. Old Joe
followed the advice given; he crawled
nome the next morning and babe his
wife rub his aching back with the St.
Jacobs Oil "a gentleman gave him."
and undoubtedly his wife did rub, for
when old Joe went on duty at night he
met his friend and benefactor, to
whom he remarked: Them Oils you
gave me, Guv'nor, did give me doing;
they was like pins and needles for a
time, but look at me now" and old
Joe began to run and jump about like a
young colt. All pain, stiffness and
soreness had gone; he had been tell
Ing everybody he met what St. Jacobs
Oil had done for him. Old Joe says
now he has but one ambition in life,
and that is to always to be able to
keep bottle of st. Jacobs Oil by him
for he says there is nothing like it in
the world
st. Jacobs Oil serves the rich and
the poor, high and low the same way.
1t has conquered pain for fifty years,
and 1t will do the same to the end of
time. 1t has no equal, consequently
no competitor; it has many cheap imi-
