HER SPEECH RESTORED.

Clnir View Tnvercll. Tlio Chas. A. Vogeler Company, Baltimore. Dear Sirs, — I beg to acquaint you of a marvellous cure following on tlio use of St Jacobs Oil, which has taken place m my oirn family. lam a poor roan with eight children, and for years have been a great sufferer from sciatica. My wifo was advised to try St Jacobs Oil. She procured a bottle, nnd I hare been using it of late with good results ; but it is of my eldest daughter, 13 years of nge, that I wish to tell you. She retired one night about four months »go m her usual good health, but the next morning she could notepeuk. My wifo took her to Inveiell to sco I)r , who said her tin-oat was ulcerated low down, and he prescribed cod liver oil and other medicines ; and also advised her to inhale the fumes of Stockholm tar, saying sho might never recover her speech again. At the expiration of a fortnight, the medicine having been finished, another visit to the doctor was made, vrho again prescribed for her, but ho t>ld my wife he had no hope of hr ever baiig able to speak again. We began to despair, but the day I used tho oil — about three months after she was tnken ill — T perßimded my wife, after we had retired, to use- the oil. Sho got up and gave the girl two drops m water, and rubbed it. on the throat.. Next morning we wero delighted to find Hint sho could talk as well as ever, nnd has been able to do so ever since. I remain gentlemen, gratefully yours, JAS. E. HATCHER. [Adv.] (5)
