With all the luxuries and pleasures
of this life, it's big enjoyments and its
smaller comforts, there is an Offset or
antithesis which we have to contend
with in the form of aches and pains.
In some way and by some means
every one has touch of them in
some form at some time. Trifling as
some of them may be. the risk is
that they will grow to something
greater and rack the system with con-
stant torture. There is nothing. there
fore, of this kind that we have
right to trifle with. Taken in time,
the worst forms of pains and aches
are easily subdued and cured by the
free use of st. Jacobs Oil. No well
regulated household ought to be with

pain. 1t is the specific virtue of pene-
tration in st. Jacobs Oil that carries
it right to the pain spot and effects a
prompt cure even in the most painful
cases of Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Lum-
bago, Sciatica. You want 1t also in
the house at all times for hurts. cuts
and wounds, and the house that al
ways has it keeps up sort of insur-

The arbitration law of New South
