TWENTY-FOUR HOURS."  Mr. John White, consulting chemist., of 97, Maubro'-street, Masbro,' Yorkshire, writes :—" It gives the pleasure to report to you the following : Mrs. Mary Healy, 4, Orchard-street, of this town, is an elderly lady, and one of my customers, who has for a long time been a confirmed invalid from rheumatism, and & combination of kindred ailments. To my knowledge she has tried all the advertised remedies, and has had the best medical advice, yet she remained completely crippled, and stiff:red the greatest agony. Having known Mrs. Healy a long time, she being a near neiv,hbour of mine, and kuowing her to be completely crippled, as above stated, you may judge of my intense astonishment when she walked into my shop one morning, not long ago, apparently completely cured, free from pain, and able to walk as well as anyone. In answer to. ray astonished inquiry for an explanation, she reminded me that just twenty. four hours before, she had sent to my shop for a bottle of St. Jacobs 01 The first application eased the pain, arid after the third application she was able to walk ; she declares that she is perfectly cured, free from pain, and ' that St. Jacobs Oil is worth a thourand pounds per bottle.' The obj,ct of her visit to my shop was to r•-quest me to communicate at once to the proprietors of St. Jacobs ' Oil the facts of her case, and to ask them to give same, together with her fall name and address, the widest pwsible publicity, in order that others, who are similarly afil:cted, might be induced to try this wonderful remedy. This statement may seen to many like an advertisement, but to prove that it is not so, I will answer any communications addressed to me for further particulars, and Mrs. Healy will be only too happy to do the same."
