ROW 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 iof other countries, and ■ spending a fortune- of 20,000 dollars, the disease i seemed to assume a more virulent? type. Finally he was persuaded to try St. Jacobs oil. It worked a miracle of cure.

Jj sufferers." . 2 , i
