Cromer, Germanton, N.S.W., August 16,1881, DEAh SIB,-Thlnk_>g the following cures effected by St. Jacobs Oil may be of Interest. I now forward them. 1. Borne time ago my wife was laid up with a severe attack of rhenmatism, which Anally settled in her left hand; after suffering great pain for nearly a month, she was induced to try the above, and the first application gave relief, and one bottle completely cured her. 2. A resident in this district was recommended by mo to try St, Jo cobs Oil, boing confined t« her room with rheumatism-ln two days she was quite free from pain. S. Chancing to stay ono nicht with a selector, about 30 miles from here, tho wonderful power of this oil was discussed, and I saw a pet amb which had burnt ono cf its foro legs severely,!!) ' fact, quito dried up the sinews. St. Jacob s Ull was applied, and the lamb Is now as well and sound sb ever. I. Not far from Wagga Wagga a friend of mlno recommended this Oil to a young fellow who had boen laid up for nearly four month* ; with an injured kneecap. Ho had wasted time ■ and money on various remedies Inellidually. ' A few days after, my friend pasting that way again, was astonished to soo the young follow hard at work on his selection. One bottle of St Jacobs Oil had completely cured him. and the gratitude shown was very great.—lours Bin -oe^e!y• JOHN LANNINGTON. To tho Editor " Germantown Times and Turn berumba Advocate." [This letter was received by me a few days ago, and the writer holds a good position here, and is personally known to me.
