he thousands of voluntary Re-
f the great value of St. Jacobs Oil for
ins, stiffness, and soreness, is that of Mrs.
Thomas, 4 Alexandra Road, Gelli, Ysbrod,
rear Pontypridd, South Wales, who rays: —
“It is with great pleasure that Tadd my will-
ing testimony to the invaluable excellence of
our eelebrated St. Jacobs Oil, as experienced
my own cage, 1 sprained both my ankles
in walking down some steps so severely that I
was unable to stand for several months. The
pair I suffered was most severe, and nothing
thas I used helpzd me uniil I applied Si.
Jacobs Qil, when they immediately became
beter daily, and in a short time I was able to
ison after I was quite cured. I
now determined to advise all persons suf-
fering from pains to use this wonderiul rem-
edy, which did so much for me.”
Mrs. Thomas does not enlighten us as to
what treatment sae pursued during the
months she was unable fo stand, and during
which time she was suffering so much, but we
venture to suggest that had she called in any
well known medical man he would have at
once havo prescribed 3t. Jacobs Oil, for it has
\quered pain upwards of fifty -years, and
oS know there is nothing so good. The
P “Jiors of St. Jacobs Oil have been award-
ed \_jélve gold medals by different interna-
tional exhibitions as the premier pain-killing
remedy of the world, The committees who
made the awards were in each instance com-
posed largely of the most eminent medical
men obtainable. Mrs. Thomas evidently did
nos kasw the high opinion in which St. Jacob,
Oil is held by almost every progressive med-
ical man.
When one woman makes a formal call
on another woman she seldom stays more
than fifteen minues, ten of which she con-
sumes in saying good-bye.
