THE SEASON FOR IT.
Wherever men and women congregate ib is frequently a subject for comment and discussion, " Why do people show sb Übble sympathy for their fellows undergoing a slow martyrdom of agony from neuralgia, rheumatism, toothache, or, perhaps, only a cold in tho head ?" There can be no mistake aboub the amount of suffering which proclaims the presence of, say, a decaying tooth, or the throbbing, burning goading misery of neuralgia; yet they elicit but scant sympathy for the sufferer; while tbe abject wretchedness which characterises tho possessor of a bad cold in the head is frequently the cause of very much more fun at the expense of tho victim than of sympathy for his sufferings. Our grandfathers and grandmothers tell us that things were very different in the days when George tho Third was King;, and tbe only reasonable way In which .0 accounb for it is that in those days there was no Jcppwn speedy and.certain cure for such troublesome complaints. But with the advent of St. Jacobs -Oil, which cures any and all of them promptly and permanently, there was no longer any necessity for the excess of sympathy, which has, therefore, been directed into a different channel, and is now kept principally for men who get married or have money left them in large quantities. Bub St. Jacobs Oil stiil keeps on curing all the troubles, as it did on its first introduction to a grateful world.
