HOW A FORTUNE WAS WASTED
FORTUNATELY PERSUADED.
The oldest pioneer of the Pacific Coast, Captain W. F. Swasey, makes a statement, published in the Chronicle of San Francisco, California, U.S.A., of the intense suffering of his friend, Colonel D. J. Williamson, an army officer of distinction and an ex-U.S. Consul, who was attacked in the'winter of 1861-2 with violent rheumatism. So great was his agony in after years he became a helpless cripple, and after trying numberless remedies, the baths of other countries, and spending a fortune of 20,000 dollars, the disease seemed to assume a more virulent type. Finally he was persuaded to try Sb Jacobs oil. It worked a miracle of cure In a letter to the Chronicle he confirm Captain Swasey's statement,. adds : "I cheerfully give my unqualified attestation to the truthfulness of the statement, because I feel perfectly certain that a knowledge of my cure by St. Jacobs oil will prove the means of relieving hundreds of sufferers." , . 2
