THE STRONGEST ARGUMENTS.

A recent issue of the Wolverhampton Chronicle contains the following s—• We have for a long time heard various reports < the wonderful effects produced bj T the use of St. Jacobs oil in chronic cases which had been given up as incurable, but had always supposed these were enlarged upon for advec tising purposes, like all other patents or proprietary medicines, but the reports from all our leading chemists must be considered one of the strongest arguments which can be advanced respecting the value of any leading article of trade in their liue. The uniformity of these reports will be noted at once. All speak in the highest terms of the value of St. Jacobs oil as an outward application fer pain. The oil is only advertised to cure rheumatism, neuralgia, gout, sciatica, and thoso bodily pains where au outward application is used. The proprietors of this popular remedy never advertise the oil to cure those diseases which it will not actually cure. But by eo doing they have gained the confidence of the people. We see by the Liverpool paper that St. Jacobs oil is used largely on board of nearly every steamship that sails from the port. Many companies, including the Cunard, White Star, and some of the South American lines, do not even consider their ships ready for sea unless a sufficient Bupply of this popular remedy is on board to last the voyage. Latterly we are informed that all EL. M. troopships leaviug Portsmouth take a large s ipply of the oil on board. The oil in yellow wrappers for veterinary purposes is being used with equally good results by the leading omnibus and cab companies of Loudon and provincial cities for use on horses for sprains, sore shoulders, and general ailment where an embrocation is required. A leading article in a recent issue of the Chemist and Druggist stated that St. Jacobs oil had the largest sale of any medicine in the world, and when an artic-e possesses the actual merit which St. Jacobs oil undoubtedly does possess the proprietors are entitled to receive the benefit of the enormous sale which this popular remedy has.’
