HER SPEECH RESTORED.

Clair View Inverell. Tlie Cbas. A. Vogeicr Company, Baltimoro. Dear Sirs, — I beg to acquaint you of a marvellous euro following on tho use of St Jacobs Oil, which, has taken place m my o fvn family. lam a poor man with eight children, and for years have been a great sufferer from sciatica. My wife was advised to try St Jacobs Oil. " She procured a bottle, and I have been using it of lato with good results ; but it i3 of my eWest daughter, 13 years of age, that I wish to tell you. She retired one night about four months ago m her usual good health, but the next morning she could not speak. My wife took her to Inverell to see Dr , who said her throat was ulcerated low down, and he prescribed cod liver oil and other medicines ; and also advised her to inhale tho fumos of Stockholm tar, saying she might never recover her speech again. At tho expiration of a fortnight, the medicine, having been finished, another visit to tho dootor was rundc, who again proscribed for her, but lie tnld my wifo he had no hope of hrr ever b*ing able to speak ngain. We besan to despair, but tho dny I used the oil — about three months after she ■was taken ill — T persuaded my wife, after ■we had retired, to uso the oil. She got up and gave tho girl two drops m wator, and rubbed it on the throat. Next morning we wero delighted to find that sho could talk as well as ever, and has boen able to do bo ever since. I remain gentlemen, gratefnlly yours, JAB. H, HATCHEB. [Apr.] (5)
