(Editoria!, December 24, 1879.] The following interviews, clicited by a Main Dealer reporter, show beyond ‘reasonable aoubt that the preparation in question is really sa article of high merit—in fact a reliable specific for 8 ¢rest number of distressing compisinta. The character and standing cf the geutlemen interviewed —many of them occupying prominent official po:itions—to- gether with ths hearty indorsenent they acoord the remedy from their own experience and observation, ought to commend it to everyone. Fair-minded people will agree, we think, with the proprietors, that there ia nothing unmercantile or unprofes- sional in bringing the article to the notics of the public through the medium of the press. Captain Henry M. Holzworth, Chief of the Cleve- land Detective Force, wss approacued in his office in the City Hall, and when subjected to a requast for his opinion of St Jaods Oil readily answered *Tt has done mea world of wood. I was aitlicted with 4 eort cf combination of plearisy aud rhen- matism inthe spine which grew so bal thst I be- came somewhat alarmed. Inever had sach a se- vere attack, and when I was finally laid up with it I hardly expected to leave my bed for months. Doctors failed ta benefit me, and acting on the eug- gestion of a friend I procure’ # bottle of St. Ja- cobs Oil aud received surprising relief on the first application. I could plainly feel the effects of the Preparation from the start It heated the flesh, and seemed to find ite way t> the weatof the dis- ease at once. To be brief, it completely conyuucred free all pain, aniina day or two I was eatirel, from the complaint, aud have sincs remaiue! John Vanek, » first Assistant City Clerk, Was vert callet upon and aiid: ‘'My mother was & sufferer from troublesome ia her for years. tome time ago ehe comuaenced to use St Jacobs Oil, with a result that is thas ..+so higly satisfactory str 9D CO: to the general fai vo powers. 1 fai E. A> t mher of th Board of Fducation from the Se ward, one ef our wi rited Germans, was found in his drag tore, No TITSt Clair strcet After ailiriving that he sold more of St. Jacobs Oil than alt other Hnimen s combined he continued ‘As for testimonials, I can furnish yoa with aay quantity. For instance, this afternooa s man quage it a special buginess to come in aad sing his praise of the remegiwith a good deal of enthusi- asm. He is an cmpg¥e in the Pittsbure car auops, and wasa short time avo thrown against a casting and to severely injured ia the hip that he could not walk. After usinw a partof s bottle of the Oil, he was, asThave already said able to come in hare to day and assert that it was the best thing he ever saw. Alady on Wason street, who sailered with rheumatisiu of the most pronounced typs, partic: ularly in her hands, is willing to wive the Oil the warmest recommendstion. By continued use the cords relaxed, and she has onca more the frea nse of ber fingers. Simiiar reports are almost dai y received. I will on application, furnish the a4 dresses of scores of people who have teste’ the remedy sud find it precisely what it hag beeu rep- resented to be.” J. Jacksoo Smith, Esq, Councilman from the Fifth ward, recently recommended st. Jacobs Oil to a prominent politician in this city, who was a martyr to rheumatic aches and pains. His shoulder was 60 badly aillicted that it was impossible for him touseapen. ‘tHe assured me," Mr. Smith said, ‘‘that he was materially benetited after the first rubbing, snd that by constant use since he has succeeded in entirely ridding himseif of t complaint. Z have introdaced the Oi in my family, believing that it is an exceedingly good thing to have within reach. My son has used it for headache wil od success. The truth is, by the smount of talk onc hears daily about St. Jacobs Oil, itseems as though it was destined to occupy a most important position in every household.” Mr. Chas. P. Vaupel, the well Bnown pharnis- cist, whose place of business is at $65 Zuclid av hue, was the second dealer vieited, and be also in- formed our reporter that he old more of St. Jacovs Oil than all other preparations of similar preten- sions put tovether. He heard nothing but the most fayorab‘e reports from his purchasers, who were, inthe main, people of the highest business and social standing. A well kaown railroad ven- tieman, a victim of chronic rheumatism, found re- ef in a remarksb'y short space of time, and handed ina hearty endorsement to the claims of the Cil. A lady liviag on Dodge strect was strons in the belief that it was the best thing she ever “ ‘“Tohear whst 1 have heard concerning this jon, **wonld, fieut to convinces the most skep- tical. Mr. Davier, of the firm of Henry & Davies, popular drugsiste, was found in his elegant place of business on Superior street, corner of Moau- mental Park. Mr Davies prefacad his statement with the remark that the gals of St. Jacobs Oil was far in advance of any of the thousand prepsred Uniments, ete., Lis establishment contained. ife is in posecesion also of a large Rumber of names which have been weed in ce:tifying to good resulis from the preper use of ths Oi).

He bad besa very nick with rheumatism; was unable ty leave his houge for a long time, and he did considerabla dsetoriag with ont benefit. After using the Oil bata few days he was abe to wo about his busiuess again, and his tingle boitie cured him ¢ ‘The extensive wlio'esale drug houses of Beato: Myers & Co., and strong, Cooo & Un, we ited. Mr. Samnel Strong, the senior member of tha | latter, stated that he himself had heard very tavar- able reports rezardivy ths ellicacy of St. Jacobs Oil. Said he: ** Itoutselis every proprietary mad- icine in our house,’ and headded, that ca his long experience (Mr. Strong hus beca ia the drag dus- iness herefor over 20 years), he never kuaw of an artic'e that achieved #0 great a popalarity in eo thort a time. | Mr Danie) Myers sald thst with his toute (Ban- | ton, Myers & Go.) tho sales of St. Jacobs Oil were | kreater by far than those of any other article of | its kind; and that it was in fact one of the very best ceiling articles they had hsudied for iwany | years. When questioned as to the merits of whe | remedy he referred ths writer to oag of their em- intormod the news eatherer that sbout six weeks a0 he had | asavere attack cf rheamatiam with waich ho was | laid up for some days. Tho St Jacobs Oil was used on him, and he stated with much satisfaction that it promptly banishsd all pain and discomfort. | His mother was also cured of rheumatism by its uae. It should be remarked here that the houses of Strong, Cobb & Co. and Benton, Myers & Co. are two of the cldest and largest in the West. They have both existed here for nearly a quarter of a. century and from their statements a correct idea can Le formed of the popularity of this great Gisr- man remedy. Mr. Theodore Hively, tobsceo and cigar dealer, located at 109 Beneca strest, was recently laid up with rheumatism so that ho coulan’t walk. after & liberal use of various preparazions he purchased bottle of St. Jacobs Oi, and, to use nis own expreerion, was the first thing to afford him anything like reiet.” He bas si mpletely recovered and now regards the oil as foremost thing of its kind in existence. Mr. Byron Pope, formerly Depnty Sheriff, is s gentleman who has put St Jacobs Ui. toa thorough tent. A memberof his family was afilicted with rheumatisia of the most severe character, pattica- Jarly in ber shoulder and the fingers of bota hands. For days sta time she was anabie to mova the fingers without undergoing great pain, and it was not watil an application cf this Oil had been made that she exper enced s change for the better. Bae is now free from the dreaded ailment, and does not hesitate to accord full praise whore itis due. Mr. Fope, in bis present po-ition in the busiaess de- partment of this oilice, has succee’ed in gettiax no icconsiderable portion of tue #/ain Dealer force tojoin the *‘innumerable caravan,” waich, swall- ing daily, shout aloud in ful*ome praise of the vir- tues of this deadly enemy of pain. Our reporter wes impressed with the unanimity of public sentiment regarding this remedy. All who were approsched spoke readily, many even ea- thusiasticas, of its excellent workings in the mos: sericus cases of bodiiy aiment. ** Never saw any- thing like it,” and ‘‘all thst itis claimed to ba,” were the most common remarks from gentlemen whose utterances carry weiht. Atl ia all, when summed up, it must be plaia to every falr-minied mau thit never in the history of our country has a medical discovery beon bronght b fore the publi and acce;ted with such universal expressions of favor as tcis treat German remedy. it STONE ABERT, ATTOBNEY-AT-LAW, No. 408 5th st. a.
