John Eolpe, Esq., Champfon Bicyclist o? England and Australia, who at present is open to run a long distance race any bicyclist for the Championship of the World, gives hie personal experience of the valuable properties of St. Jacobs. Oil,, as used by i" m in his recent contest with John Watson for the Championship of Australia. 268 Elizabeth etreet North, Melbourne, Victoria, November 23rd, 1888. To the Editor of Thh Fbks, Christchureh, New Zealand; Dear Sir,—l desire to aiid my cheerful endorsement of the good effects I have at all times received from the use of St. Jacobs Oil when in active training and racing during my recent six days' eontesfc held In the Melbourne Exhibition building for .£SOO and the Championship of the Australian and adjacent Colonies. It was my boon companion. I continually used it before and after each day's, performance, and the results simply astonished mc. After riding for eight consecutive hours each day, viz., from half-pact .two until half-past ten, my limbs would become sore and stiff from over-exettion. but after being well rubbed with the Oil all muscular pain immediately vanished, _ and I felt as fresh as ever. Aβ proof positive, after the contest was over I rode 100 miles against time before s public audience, and accomplished it in 6 hours 11 minutes 45£ seconds. Another application of St. Jacobs Oil was made, and it removed all feeling of fatigue, and I felt perfectly fit for another race. Am positive it aided mc to win the match. and I shall never enter a similar contest without a bicycle and St. Jacobs Oil. I.strongly advise all "wheelmen" and other athletes to give it a trial, and feel fully convinced their experiences will coiapare favorably with my ewn. I remain, dear Sir, Yours truly, Joxur Eoi,pr.
