IT ACTED LIKE MAGIC.

Bead the following : — (cEirrmsD statbmekt.) Springfield, N.E., April 2 1st 1886. Tho Chns. A. Vogeler Co., Baltimore, U.S.A. Gentlemen, — I lmvo dcnlt m patent medicino of nil descriptions for orer 20 years, nnd am proprietor of Williamson's Miraculous Ointment, nnd have heard from my customers from timo to time of cures effected by different remedies, but the euro I am about to relate, effected by St. Jacobs Oil, eclipses all others. Tho business with which I am connected is that of a general storekeeper ; wo use several horsea to go our rounds, the one here referred to occupying two days. On the ovenlng of the first day the man m charge, after feeding, turned the horse 3 into an adjoining paddock, apparently quite sound ; but when he went to fetch thorn tho noxt morning, found one so lumo that it limped on threo legs, and was unablo to put the other -a hind leg — to the ground, On examination ho found it very much swollen from the fetlock to the hock. And, of course, he thought about returning, when it suddenly occurred to him that Bt. Jacobs Oil, of which he carried n stock for sale, might help him m (ho omcrgoncy. He at. once, opened a bottle, and proceeded to rub it into the swollen parts for nbout 20 minutes ; nnd, an hour afterwards much to his surprise, the swelling and lameness had disappeared altogether, and ho was able to continue bis journey. Yours faithfully, H. WILLIAMSON. CONFIKMTNG- THE ABOVK. I hereby certify that the foregoing is a statement of fiicts, and occurred, whilst the Horse was m my cbarec, JOHN HOGLUND. [Advt.] (6)
