Gun. Robert 11. Leo oneo wrote to
his son at school: "You must study
to be frank with tho world. Frank
ness is the child of honesty and cour
age. Say just whnt you mean to do
on every occasion, and take it for
granted you mean to do right. If a
friend asks a favor, you should grant
it if it is reasonable; if not, tell him
plainly why you cannot. Yon will
wrong him and wrong yourself by
equivocation of any kind. Never do
n wrong thing to mako a friend or
keep one."

Boer delegates in Europe regarding
a basis for a peace settlement. There

cial quarters.

Fictitious.
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.
