"WELL, MY SON,"
■eaid a father to his ton-year-old boy, " what have you done to-day thab may be considered a good deed?" "I gave a boy sixpence," replied the young hopeful. «' Well, and what did you give him sixpence for ? Was he an orphan, and poor and hungry, or what wae it ?" " I did not aek him, , ' replied the boy: "I gave him sixpence for thrashing another boy who upset my dinner-basket, and 1 think, from the appearance which fche latter presented after the boy to whom I gave the sixpence had finished with him, that the sixpence was well earned." From the latest advices it was learned that the boy who receivedthe thrashing was taken to the nearest chemist's shop, and there thoroughly rubbed with St. Jacobs oil by the wise cbemiat, who knew thab "St. Jacoba oil conquers pain." The boy has been made well, bub takes good care not to interfere with the dinner-baskets of other boys. St, Jacobs oil is used by all classes of people tor general aches and pains. It conquers pain. Ib penetrates to che scab of the disease. There is no remedy like it. St. Jacoba oil is peculiar to itself. It is made from drugs which no other remedies are made from. They are gathered from the four quarters of the plobs, and are made after the mosb ecienbifio principles. St. Jacoba oil is an outward application. Its cost is trifling, bub to the sufferer a bottle of ib is worth its weight in gold. :
