A SEVERE KICK.

Mr. W. Martin Forster, the well-known chemist of Mackay, Queensland, sends the following letter to the Charles A. Vogeler Company, the proprietors of St. Jacobs oil —

" Gentlemen, —Although I am aware it is contrary to the custom of the trade to publicly endorse a patent medicine of foreign origin, yet 1 think I may -be pardoned for saying a few words in favour of St. Jacobs oil. About a year ago I received a severe kick on the leg from a horse ; so severe, indeed, that I fully expected to be incapacitated from attending to my business for at least a fortnight. I received the injury at night, ana before morning the leg had swollen to in enormous size. The pain was very acute, and I was unable to do anything my assistant being absent. In this emergency, by my wife s aid, I procured from the shop a bottle of St. Jacobs oil, with which I soaked a pad of lint, and kept it applied to the injured part for a few hours, when, to my surprise and delight, the pain left, and before night I was abb to attend to my business. I may say I suffered no further inconvenience from the, kick, although an enlargement of the bom; which remained for several months afterward, attested pretty substantially the severity of the blew dealt me by the horse.—l am, gentlemen, yours faithfully, "V. M. Forster. "Mackay, September?, 1887."
