ANEW REMEDY FOR IRISH DIFFIOULTIBS. A leading Dublin paper, having heard so much said in both the Irish and English press in favour of a wonderful oil, determined to investigate the matter by personal interviews with people who had used it, in order to learn whether or not one half that was said of its magical power was true, or whether it was one of those gigantic advertising schemes the magnitude of which in these modern times fairly takes one's breath away. Its representative interviewed a number of people in various parts of Ireland who had been cured by the application of the oil, and in every instance he found that the published statements were true and correct in every particular. Everywhere people were enthusiastic in its praise. A captain of the Royal Irish Fusiliers, who bad suffered long from rheumatism and sprained ankle, said : " The effect after three applications of St. Jacobs Oil was simply marvellous ; the pain at once departed, andi has never returned." A prominent hotel proprietor, after suffering years from rheumatic gout, said : " Ifc would be hard to conceive of anything working a cure so rapidly as St. Jacobs Oil did ia my case." A sergeant of the Royal Irish Constabulary told of a friend who had been a great sufferer for years with rheumatism in the back, Buffering great pain : using two bottles of St. Jacobs Oil the pain entirely disappeared, and never returned. A young woman in Oastlebar told the reporter of the almost miraculous cure which her mother, aged 70 years, had experienced from using the invaluable St. Jacobs Oil. She had been almost helpless for two years from rheumatism, and was completely cured by using less than one bottle of the oil. A prominent surgeon in Tipperary related 1 the case of a parish priest who had for a long 1 time suffered the most intense agony from sciatica, completely cured in three days by rubbing himself well with St, Jacobs Oil. A very enthusiastic Irishman in Gort was met with, shouting "Long live St. Jacobs Oil." He had suffered the most intense rheumatic pains for years, and was cured by using the contents of one bottle of the oil. A cooper in Beale, County Kerry, IrelancV related now his knee was twice its natural size, stiff, and painful, and he was unable to stand; swelling and pain entirely disappeared after using St. Jacobs Oil one week. An old gentleman in Mallow was cured ia one week after having commenced to use St. Jacobs Oil, of severe rheumatism of six years'' standing. On returning to Dublin, the reporter callec!' on some of the leading chemists, for the purpose of learning their views. Messrs R. Simpson and Co., of 16 .Henry street, the' well-known chemists, stated that St. JacobsOil was the most popular remedy now being sold ; that it is no uncommon thing for thenv to sell 1200 bottles of the oil in a single week That their last order was for 600 dozen, or 7200 bottles, and you can rest assured, saidi Mr Simpson, the senior partner, that no/ medicine would have this enormous sale unless it possessed actual merit. Sold by all chemists and druggists.
