The following interviews, elicited by a Main Dealer reporter, show beyond -reasonable aoubt that the preparation in question is really sa article of bigh merit—in fact a reliable specific for s «rest number of distressing compisints. The character andstanding cf the geutlemen ivterviswed—many of them occupying prominent official poiitions—to- gcther with the hearty indorsement they acer the remedy from their own experience and observation, ought to commend it ty everyone. Fatr-minded people will agree, we think, with ths proprietors, that there is nothing unmercantile or unprofes- sional in bringing the article to the notics of the public through ihe medium of the press. Captain Henry M.

I will on application, furnish tig ad dresses of svores of poople who have tested the remedy sud find it precisely what it haa baen rep- resented to be.” Jackeoa Bmith, Fsq. Councilman from the Fifth ward, recently recommended St. Jacobs Oil to aprominent politician in this city, who was a martyr to rheumatic aches and pains. His shoulder was 60 badly afilicted that it was impossible for him touseapen. ‘'He asaured me," Mr. Smith said, ‘‘that he was material'y benetited after the first rubbing, snd that by constant use sincs he has succeeded in entirely ridding himself of complaint. I have introdaced the Ol in my family, believing that it is an exceedingly good thing to have within reach. My eon has used it for headache with zood success. ‘The truth Is, by the smount of talk one hears daily about St. Jacobs Gil, it seems as though it was destined to occupy a most important position in every household.” Mr. Chaa.
