'THIS IS THE FASHIONABLE AMERICAN BELLE who recently returned to London..to "complete her education"; can repeat in fourteen different languages the words "A little yellow dog with a short stumpy tail"...A little learning is dangerous...To deserve and achieve success, a medicine, like a man, must concentrate its forces...There is one remedy which does one thing thoroughly. It conquers pain. It penetrates to the root of the disease. It is St. Jacobs Oil. It is used externally. It is simple. It is safe. It is sure. Dr. R. Butler, M.A., Cambridge University, was a great sufferer from rheumatism. He used St. Jacobs Oil. He says the effect was simply marvellous...The Sydney Daily Evening News says: "Never in the history of Australia has a medical discovery been accepted with such general approbation as St. Jacobs Oil. It is the talk of the town. Divines, judges, legislators, merchants, and athletes give their approval to this remarkable remedy. It has rescued thousands from years of torture." The foregoing are plain, stubborn facts. The genuine St. Jacobs Oil...has our name blown in the glass of the bottle. Beware of worthless imitations. The Charles A.
