Dear Sir,—l uoslro to add my cheerful endorsement of the good uffects I have at ail times received from tho use of St. Jacob's Oil when in active training and racing. During my recent G days' contust hold in tho Melbourne Exhibition Building for £500 and tho championship ot the Australian and adjacent colonies, it was my boon companion. I continually used it before and after ouch day's performance, and the results simply astonished me. After riding for 8 consecutive hours each day, viz., from half-past 2 until half-past 10, my limbs would become soro nnd stiff from ovor-exertion, but after being well-rubbed with tho oil all muscular pain immediately vanished and I felt as fresh as d vor. As proof positi ve.af tor tho contest was over. I rode 109 miles against time before a public audience and accomplished it in 6 hours 11 minutes 45} seconds. Another application of St Jacob's Oil was made, and it removed all feelIngs of fatigue and I felt perfectly fit for another race. Am positive It aided me to win the match, and I shall never enter a similar contest without a bicycle and St. Jacob's Oil. I strongly advise all " wheelmen " and other athletes to give it a trial, and fool fully convinced their experiences will compare favourably with my own. I remain, doar Sir, Yours truly, John Bolts.
