"WELL, MY SON,"
said a father to his ten-year-old boy, " what have you done to-day bhab may be considered a good deed?" "I gave a boy sixpence," replied bhe young hopeful. " Well, and whab did you give him sixpence for ? Was he an orphan, and poor and hungry, or whab was ib V' " I did not ask him," replied bhe boy: " I gave him sixpence for thrashing anobher boy who upset my dinner-baskeb, and I think, from the appearance which bhe latter presented after the boy bo whom I gave bhe sixpence had finished wibh him, thab the sixpence was well earned." From bhe labesb advices it waa learned bhab the boy who received the thrashing was taken to the nearest chemist's shop, and there thoroughly rubbed wibh St. Jacobs oil by bhe wiße chemist, who knew bhab " Sb. Jacobs oil conquers pain." The boy has been made well, bub takes good ' care not to interfere wibh bhe dinner-baskets of other boys. St. Jacobs oil is used by all classes of people tor general aches and pains. Ib conquers pain. Ib penetrates to the seat of bhe disease. There is no remedy like ib. Sb. Jacobs 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 globe, and are made after the most scientific principles. Sb. Jacobs oil is an outward application. Its cost is trifling, bub to the Bufferer a bottle of ib is worth its weight in gold.
