A resident in this d istrict was recommended by me to try St. Jacobs Oil, being confined t« her room with rheumatism—in two days «he was quite free from pain. 3. Chancing to stay one night with a selector, about 30 miles from hero, tlio wonderful power of this oil was discussed, und I saw a pet lamb which had burnt one of its fore legs severely .in faot, quite dried up the sinews. St. Jacobis Oil was applied, and tho Mmb is now as well ana sound ns evor. _. Not far from Wugga Wag. a a friend of mino recommended this Oil to a young fellow who had been laid up for nearly four months with an injured kneecap.
