RATHER ENTHUSIASTIC.
The Wilmington (Del.) Daily Republican lately contained the following itein of popular interest: Dr. J. F. Speck, who is connected with the Wilmington Every Evening, speaks rather enthusiastically of St. Jacobs Oil. Dr. Speck states that he uses the Oil in his family as a household remedy, a sort of universal panacea for all aches and pains, and has always found it to act most happily. His attention was called to it by the many testimonials in its favor and he one day used it upon himself for sore throat. Two applications were sufficient to effect a cure. He ilso used it on his little girl for sore throat with gratifying success. The same child had scarlet fever this winter, which left the tendons of one leg much contracted. The little prattler couldn’t walk without assistance and suffered much inconvenience and pain. Several applications of St. Jacobs Oil restored her limb to its normal condition and she has not experienced any trouble since. Dr. Speck states that he has also seen the Oil act charmingly in toothache. He thinks St. Jacobs Oil is a sterling remedy, and does not hesitate to recommend it for rheumatism, etc.
