r< OOD FURNISHING. When a couple think of getting , married, and have finally selected the dovecot;—l mean the villa they mean to occupy—the important question of furnishing comes up. Prospective mothers-in-law may be expected to give good advice (and as a general rule very little else), and after settling the colour of the carpets, upholstery, perambulator, &c., they are pretty sure to throw in a bottlo of St. Jacobs Oil. The reasons are many and various. Headache, toothache, back-ache, ear-ache, in fact the whole family of aches, find no quarter in a house where Sc. Jacobs Oil, love, and kisses reign supreme; and many a couple who suffer eternally from the lesser evils that flesh, is heir to only do so because they do not use a remedy as old as the hills, and as sure in its action as a Bank of England, note vrhen the bailiffs are in.
