(hat 1 ai once sent for a bottle of St Jacobs j oil. Of course, I did not expect any j '" msigiop.l" effects such as were described i in tbi' " Figaro ;" but still I thought I • v/ouid try the saintly oil. For many years • i. have had atiil knees in the winter, and lust year thny continued stiff and weak ail through the summer. This i winter they have been worse than ever. I j nibbetl my knees with the oil for a few 1 rmnuteEj hub felt nothing, not even the vjirai i'ecnn% of hartshorn and oil, but f-hurt;/ iuicr I felt a tingling in each i Imkv, goiiif/ deeper and deeper down for rooru t.mu *n hour, after which, to my .•niia/.eiijoi-t, ouo knee was quite cured, the otho.r uoKi-ly so.

Its effects seem, ad Mr IVfelLui3h says, "almost magical." i'copli; who Lave been crippled for years are porm.iuently cured almost instantaneously by the übo of this wonderful n:inedy!J »___^^____^__
