"WELL, MY SON,"
said a father to his ten-year-old boy, " what have you done to-day that may be considered a good deed?" "I gave a boy sixpence," replied the young hopeful. 41 Well, and whfib did you give him sixpence for ? Was ho an orphan, and poor and hungry, or whab was it ?" " I did not ask him," replied the boy: "I gave him sixpence for thrashing another boy who upset my dinner-basket, and I think, from the appearance which the latter presented after the boy fco whom I gave tho 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 chemist, who knew that "St. Jacobs oil conquers pain." The boy has been made w«ll, but takes good care not to interfere with the dinner-baskets of other boys. St. Jacobs oil is used by all classes of people tor goneral aches and paine. It conquers pain. It penetrates to che seat of the disease. There is no remedy like it. St. Jacob 3 oil is peculiar to itself. Ib is made from drugs which no other remedies are made from. They are gathered from tho four quarfcera of the and are made after the most scientific principles. Sb. Jacobs oil is an outward application. Its c osb is trifling, but to the sufferer a bottle o f ib is worth ifcs weight in gold.
