$20,000 Gone!

Sa.n Francisco, Cal.— The Chronicle publishes in substance the - following marvel: Capt. W. F. Swasey, the oldest pioneer of the coast, makes a statement of the intense suffering of his friend, Col. D. J. Williamson, an army officer of distinction and an ex-U. S. Consul, who was attacked in the winter of 1861-2 with violent rheumatism. So great was his agony in after years he became a helpless cripple, and after trying numberless remedies, the baths of other countries and spending' a fortune of $20,000, the disease seemed to assume a more virulent type. Finally he was persuaded to try St. Jacobs Oil, the great conqueror of pain. It worked a .miracle of cure. In a letter to the Chronicle he confirms Capt. Swasey’s statement and adds: “I cheerfully give my unqualified attestation to the truthfulness of the statement, because I feel perfectly certain that a knowledge of my cure by St. Jacobs Oil, will prove the means of relieving hundreds of sufferers. ”
