HER SPEECH RESTORED.

Clair View, Invcrell. Deo. 10,1883. Messrs Publishers Evening Stab. Dear Sirs,—l beg to acquaint you of a marvellous cure following on the use of St. Jacobs Oil, which has taken place in my own family. lam a poor man with eight children, and for years have been a great sufferor from sciatica. My wife was advised to try St Jacobs Oil. She procured a bottle, and I have bean using it of late with good results, but it is of my eldest daughter, 13 years of age, that I wißh to tell you. She retired one night, about 1 months ago, In her usual good health, but the next morning she could not speak. I thought it was cold, and applied the usual remedies, without effect. My wife took hor to Inverell to see Dr —-, who said that it was not a cold, but that her throat was ulcerated low down, and he prescribed ood IlVer oil and other medicines, and also advised her to inhalo the fumes of Stockholm tar, saying she mlffhtnevor recover her speech again. At tho expiration of a fortnight, the medicine having been finished, another visit to the Dr. was made, who again prescribed for her, but , told my wife he had no hope of her over being able to speak again. We began to despair, but ' the day 1 used the oil—about three months after she was taken ill—l persuaded my wife, after we had retired, to use the oil. She got up and gave the girl two drops in water, and rubbed it on het throat. Next morning we were delighted - to find that sho could talk as well as ever, ana , has been able to d o so ever since.

I remain, gontlemon, eratefully yours. Aas. it. Hatcher.
