* POPULAR MINSTREL MADE HAPPy OR, FROM JEST TO EARNEST. " For seven years," writes Mr Horace Ben!, of the Federal Minstrels, " I have suffered from au acute neuralgii affection of the right knee aud . rheumatic gout, which became so severe dnringour j season at the * Gaiety ' in September, '83. that I ! was obliged to relinquish tbe active duties of my ; profession and keep my room for a couple of d<\\ s. • I bad tried several strong liniments at various ! times, some of which gave me partial relief. In . tbe course of my locture and sketches I bad fre- ; quently mentioned, jocularly, St Jacobs Oil, but it j never occurred to me to apply it to nfy oirs ,iil- ■ meuts uutil a friend, wbo happened to be in my ! room whilst I was complaining of intense pain, re- :' minded me of its claims, and sent out for a bottle , right away. I used a little of it immediately, nnd ■ found instant relief, repeating the spr-lica*:*— • agiin later on in tbe evening. From tbat niglit I ; have never felt either tbe neuralgic affection o: -Jie t knee or the rheumatic gout return, and I wi.uld | havo sent you this acknowledgment earlier, l.:;t I ; thought it best to thoroughly establish tbe p« r- ' manenco of the effect, aud have to subscribe ; myself a firm believer in tbe virtues of St .lao-.Ks Oil."

St J.i-i. i<-. *.il oa"eot-.:aily cured me.'' Isidor Alexander, Esq., Jeweller | Queen street, Auckland. " After protracted, suffering from pains in my [ back and neck, two applications of St Jacobs Oil , freed me from pain ana inconvenience."
