A Most Extraordinary Statement.

A MODERN MIRACLE. To the Editor of the " Wellington (Salop) j Journal." I Dear Sik,— ln your paper of Oct. 20 i I saw the account of what I considered a > most extraordinary statement, wherein i " Mrs Mary Ann Foster, of 48, Greenfield i terrace, Gateshead, had been cured of | rheumatism in the limbs in fifteen minutes !by using St Jacobs oil." Now, this state- | ment of itself Beeuis incredible, but when J the article stated further, that " for a long time her legs had been so stiff that she could not sit up in bed," that "theligai ments of her joints seem to have grown together," and that "her case wbb considered hopeless," it seemed a miracle j which I determined to investigate. I accordingly called on Mrs Foster for the purpose of learning the truth. Judge of my surprise when that lady told me that every word was true. She said for months previous to using the oil she had been confined to her bed suffering the most excruciating agony night and day, but that in 15 minutes after the application she experienced relief from pain, and in less than a week she was up and about the house— a well woman. Mrs Foster Bays this was more than 12 months ago, and she has not had any return of the disease. She i& as well and strong as she ever was in her life, and (naturally) recommends St Jacobs oil to everybody — in fact is a living advertisement for St Jacobs oil. I hand you these facts solely for the benefit of the public, believing that a remedial agent I possessing such wonderful power to conquer pain and relieve Buffering should be made known everywhere. lam glad to Bee that your journal, as well as the Press generally, is taking up the matter, which is quite right. I remain, yours respectfully, THOMAS HUTCHKISS. 46, Napier street, Newcastle-on-Tyne.
