It is very seldom that we pay much at tention to reports circulated in refcrenco to the virtue of a patent medicine, as wo have always considered that reports of this nature were more or less fictitious and got ten no for the purpose of creating a demand front tho public. But the publication irv various papers of the wonderful results ob tained from using that famous remedy St. Jacobs Oil, and from the fact that it is a remedy for outward application only, led us to make trials of it in our own family. One, a case of lumbago of long standing' which had previously resisted every fornv of treatment, was permanently cured by a few applications of the Oil. Another was a epraincd ankle, with severe pain. This was instantly relieved and permanently cured in a few days by the use of St. Jacobs Oil, while for severe toothacheand neuralgia it acted almost like magic, so quickly did tne pain depart after tho Oil was applied. Our own experience in vsing the Oil, as abovo indicated, was so highly satisfactory that we determined in the interest of the gen eral public to make a thorough local inves tigation among dealers and others who linvo sold and used St. Jacobs Oil. Recognizing. Messrs. Taylor and Co. as head-quarters for nil proprietary medicines, we called nt their Briggate Store, and on making known tho object of our visit to the general Manager, he stated that their three stores in Leeds were selling more than a thousand bottles of St. Jacobs Oil every week, and the trade wa3 constantly increasing that it was tho most popular remedy sold and was highly spoken of by everyone who used it. Tho Manager said he had heard hundreds of people say they had been permanently cured of rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, and sim ilar complaints by the use of this famous Oil.
