THE case of the Connecticut clergy man's wife who aroused hers'df from sleep and shot her husband with a pistol that was con veniently near, has a parallel in the deed of a young lady of Boston, who, under almost iden tical circumstances, killed her mother.

It contained a larg< i proportion of opium, not too much for apidiea ' iion to the skin in normal condition, out n i dangerous quantity considering the increased susceptibility to absorption caused by the scald for which the doctor neglected to make pro|>et , allowance. The prescription was carried to a ' druggist, who heard nothing alsiiit the scald, ' and merely saw that the ointment was "ev 1 tcrnal use," and put it up without having any ' idea, or giving the customer any caution, thai ' it was not perfectly safe.

For twelve years I hud suffered, from time to time, terribly with Hlieumati HI, T > such an ex tent that I was unable to move ahont and lost the use of my limbs. I tried everything rec ommended t » effect a cure, consulted oine of the most prominent physicians, and expended large sums of money, hoping to find relief, but without any success. < Dancing over the col umns of the " W'ntrhr.r" I read about tint ST.

JACWH OIL. included, until I saw one day | that it had cured a well-known citizen with whom I am acquainted. Other parties fully endorsed the value and wonderful power of the OIL, telling me that it hnd cured them of dif ferent ailments iu a very short time. Tins brought me to a conclusion. I,said to myself, "Schweias-r, fifty cent * w >n't break you ;" - > I ' went to my druggist, Mr. Ilock, bought a bottle of the Oil., and must now confess that the result was truly wonderful. I used it every two hours, and found relief immediately upon the first application, and the pain ceased en tirely after a few more applications. Fearing a new attack, I remain MI in bed and continued to use the remedy every three hours. All pain having left me, I arose from my bed and walked down stairs without any trouble. Since that time I have been able to follow my occupation and feel no pains or incon venience however disagreeable the changes of the weather may be. Having thoroughly tested the Sr. J AC suss ON., I can conscientiously re. - minuend it to all afflicted with Rheumatism. Fifty cents is a small expense when the «er- I vices for so trifling an outlay are con adored. If I was one thousand miles away from all human habitation, I should, nevertheless, pro ! cure this remedy and keep it always in my house. LOT M SCHWKIZER, ('nr.
