An Oversight.

There was one oversight at the Great Exposition at Chicago in not having in full view;, by easy arrangement, some comparative vital statistics of our own general health as compared with other nations, and of our scientific facilities for the relief of human suffering, 'lhen it would have appeared how much we are misrepresented and how, even in all those minor ills which beset mankind, we are masters of cure and alleviation. In the Hue of general ailments which all nations have In common, such as rheumatic or neuralgic afflictions, there Is no prompt and permanent cure in tho world the equal of what we could have shown. St. Jacobs Oil, for instance, for this purpose, would have taken any premium that might have been offered. It has done so at many of the groat fairs of tho world. As for the ordinary casualties of every-day, busy life, such as sprains, bruises, burns, wounds, or cuts, of course it is well known as the superior remedy of the age. Perhaps doctors disagree, but the people are never mistaken In knowing what is best.
