"NOW THEN, JIMMY!"
aaid a road-car driver to a newsboy on Fleet Street; out of the road, my boy. Newsboy : " All right, old seventeen-hours-a-day and. ten-minutes for-dinner, I'm getting out of the road." This little bit brings forcibly to our minds the long hours which the omnibus men m London are obliged -to sit on the box of an omnibus, exposed to all weathers and the worst climate under the sum. I mean under the sun five months, and ander smoke the balance of the year. Well, these poor fellows often contract rheumatism, neuralgia, and gout ; and were it not for that grand old and reliable remedy, St. Jacob's oil, they would have a far harder time than they do; but nearly every driver and conductor of an omnibus m London carries a bottle of St. Jacob's oil. They swear by the saintly fluid and well they may, for St. Jacob's oil acts like magic. It has a world-wide reputation. It has received ten gold medals at different International Exhibitions, for the marvel [ous power to ease pain at once. It has the jargest sale of any medicine m the world. It penetrates deep. It is powerful. It is wholly an outward application, and haß no equal on earth.
