Thrown from His Cub end Killed.
The following Is a most interesting and, in one respect, pathetic tale:— Mr. J. Pope, 42 Ferrar Road, Streatham, England, said: “Yes, poor chap, he Is gone, dead — horse bolted, thrown off his seat on his cab he was driving and killed—poor chap, and a good sort, too, mate. It was him, you see, who gave me the half-bottle of St Jacobs Oil that made a new man of me. ’Twas like this: me and Bowman were gjieat friends. Some gentleman had given him a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil which bad done him a-lot of good; he only used half the bottle, and remembering that I had been a martyr to rheumatism and sciatica for years, that I had literally tried everything, had doctors, and all without benefit. I became discouraged, and looked upon it that there was no help for me. Well,” said Pope, “You may not believe me, for It Is a miracle, but before I had used the contents of the half-bottle of St Jacobs Oil which poor Bowman gave me, I was a well man. There It Is, you see, after years of pain, after using remedies, oils, embrocations, horse liniments, and spent money on doctors without getting any better, I was completely cured in a few days. I bought another bottle, thinking the pain might come back, but it did not, so I gave the bottle away to a friend who had a lame back. I can’t speak too highly of this wonderful painkiller."
