will they say? Philosophers given to the study of abstruse problems tell us that the man who makes two blades of grass grow where only one grew before benefits the human race. This is true, no doubt, but the benefit, accruing from the extra blade is infinitesimal. What would they have to say about the old German monk who invented St. Jacobs Oil, a preparation that has saved more lives and alleviated more pain than any other medicine the world has ever seen. Every careful housewife provides herself with a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil as a sure and certain remedy for burns, sprains, toothache, sore throat, rheumatism, and the many other ailments every family is liable to. And yefe philosophers do not rave.
