Good Furnishing.
When a couple think of getting married, and have finally selected the dovecot—l mean the villa they mean to occupy—the important question of furnishing comes up. Prospective mothers-in-law may be expected to give good advice (and as a general rule very little else), and after settling the colour of the carpets, upholstery, perambulator, etc., they are pretty sure to throw in a bottle of St, Jacobs’ Oil, The reasons are many and various. Headache, toothache, backache, earache, in fact the whole family of aches, find no quarter in a house where St. Jacob’s 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 uae_ a remedy as old as the hills, and as sure in its action as a Bank of England note when the bailiffs are in.
