Tlie ankle was much swollen and very painful. Learning of the virtue of St. Jacobs Oil in such cases, I procured a bottle and applied tho contents regularly for one week to the ankle, by which time the swelling and pain had wholly disappeared, and I was able to walk. I have also found the oil a most excellent remedy for toothache and headache. I have, therefore, no hesitation in recommending -^the oil to football players^ as > well ,as ..all, persons,, suffering t from pain."\ 'yy V.; \Y\\\'-(-» 7\l Tlhorkhg Charles PallingeV, the well-ltnown f bicycle rider i of l(Jj High-Street, Lewishani. not only, knows how to ride .a bicycle, but he knows tbieHght hort 'of an- embro'cation" tb uSe i after hard , ridjng, . j ; He ; saysj- in referring: 1 fco.a : sfcrained-l6g, |' I ha,y9 ? f^uud St, , Oil ha*^ done, my leg k power ofYgood.;* 4 I shall continue to fecbnimehd , your yaluable' embrocation to my: fellow-cyclists, as, I .considrr it a . splendid . article for, .rubbing down with' while ''training.''
