HIS PHOTO.
The venerable benefactor of mankind, intent upon his good works, is known as we see him here. His familiar face and
°form have become a trade mark, and the good he has done is illustrated in the following marvelous instance: Jan. 17, 1883, j George C. Osgood & Co., druggists, ix>well, i Mass., wrote: ‘‘Mr. Lewis Dennis, No. 136 I Moody st.. desires to recompiend St. Jacobs Oil to any afflicted with rheumatism, and desires especially to say that Orrin Robinson, of Grantvilie, Mass., a boy of 12 years, came to his house in the summer of 1881 walking upon crutches, his left leg having been bent at the knee for over two months and could not be bent back. He could not walk upon it. Mr. Dennis had some St. Jacobs Oil in the house and gave it to him to rub on his knee. In six days he had no use for his crutches and went home well without them, and he has been well since St. Jacobs Oil cured him.” In July. 1887, inquiry was made of the Messrs. Osgixxl to ascertain the condition of the little cripple, which brought the following response: “Lowell, Mass., July 9, 1887. The poor cripple on crutches, Orrin Robinson, cured by St. Jacobs Oil in 1881, has remained cured. The young man has been and is now at work every dav at manual labor. Dr. George C. Osgood, M. D.” No other remedy car, make the same showing.
