GOOD FURNISHING.
When a couple think of getting married, and have finally selected the dovecot —I mean the villa the’y mean to occupy—the important question of furnishing comes up. Prospective mothers-in-law may be expected to give good advice (and as a rule very little else), and after settling the colour of the oarpets, upholstery, perambulator, &c., they are pretty sure to throw in a bottle 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 St. 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 when the bailiffß are in.
