In the vast amount of business transacted at the Baltimore (Md.) Postofflce Mr. M. V. Bailey, Superintendent of the Mails, is kept exceedingly busy, but somehow he finds a spare hour or day to go fishing, and from his experience he gives his testimony that St. Jacobs Oil is the best remedy m the world for rheumatism, sprains, sore feet and joints, bruises, etc. It is thq remedy for fishermen and gunners, who should always keep a bottle on hand.
