Let the mother become sick and helpless,
and the house is all in disorder. When both
father and mother are down, you may as

out of chaos often very easily, and Mrs, John
Malin, of Bouth Butte, Mont,, Feb, 17, 1898,

she writes thus : ‘My husband and I took
very bad rheumatism from severe colds, ani
my arms were 80 lame I couid not raise them
to help Myself. I sent at once for a bottle of
Bt. Jacobs Oil, and before the bottle was
half empty, I could go about my work. My
husband became so lame he could not get
out ot bed. Two ani a half bottles com-
pletely cured him. I will always praise St,
Jacobs Oil and you may use this as you see
fit." ‘This is a clear case of what best at
the right moment, and how every household
can be made happy where pain abounds.
