STARTLING DISCLOSURE. 0YES TWO'l'Y THOUSAND BOLLABS LOST -AIT OLD PIOITEEB'S STATEMENT. How a Fertane was Spent in Vain An Event ful Career KeMued at Last. San Francisco. Cal. The Daily Chrori- icle publishes the following editorial com munication from Captain W. F. Swasey, the oldest pioneer in San Francisco, a gen tleman weil-knewn throughout the coast, which will be self-explanatory: Editor of the UnronteleaiR: Anytning concerning the history oi an old Laiiior nian. especially if he is extensively and fa vorably known tnrougnouc tne xraciuc Coast, never fails to attract attention, but when the circumstances attending his ca reer are of such a peculiar character, that a knowledge of them will benefit the pub lic at large, the imparting of such knowl edge becomes not only a pleasure, but a duty as well. Therefore, the writer deems the following brief sketcn not oniy emi nently proper, but also feels confident that it will prove deeply interesting and bene ficial to thousands who will read it. Colonel D. J. Williamson, the subject of this letter, entered the Union Army in 1861 as Regimental Quartermaster of the Fourth California Infantry, and in 1863 he was appointed by President Lincoln, Cap tain Quartermaster of the United States Army. He served with distinction to him self and honor to the government nnui 1867, at which time he left the military service and became a prominent operator in stocks in ban rancisco. - in this busi ness he continued until 1870, when he re ceived from President Grant the appoint ment of United States Consul at Callao, Peru. In 1874 he was appointed by Presi dent Grant, Consul at Valparaiso, Chili, and also Charge d' Affairs of that Repub lic, which latter positions he was com pelled by ill health to resign in 1878. In the winter of 1861-2, a winter that was unusually inclement, while on mili tary duty at Sacramento, Colonel William son was obliged to sleep in tents, and then first contracted the terrible scourge of rheumatism, from which he at times suf fered excruciating pain, although he was not incapacitated from duty. After he had left the service and entered upon busi ness pursuits, the disease pertinaciously clung to his system, although he re sorted to the most eminent medi cal advice and to every known remedy for relief. When he arrived in Peru, where rheumatism is very prevalent, the disease assumed a still more virulent type and his sufferings became so utterably in tolerable that he was obligedto submit to the application of hypodermic injections of morphia, frequently administered as often as twenty-five times in twenty-four 1 T T j i r i -1 uours. xxe visiieu ine iamous uauis oi that country without avail, and when he reached Chili, resorted to the baths Co quenes and afterwards to the baths on the summit of the Andeswhich latter are celebrated throughout the world for their efficacy in the cure of rheumatism. He still found no relief, however, and in 1878 his knees and lower extremities became so powerless from the- disease that he was obliged to resign his position and return to California. He at once repaired to the Paso Robles Springs, in San Luis Obispo County, where he received but slight tern porary relief, the malignant complaint continuing to torture and rack his frame almost without cessation. From 1878 un til about two months, he has been totally deprived of the use of his lower limbs being absolutely unable to perform the most simple physical act without assist ance. Some six months ago he was in duced by his friend, Ferdinand Vassault. Esq.. Secretary of the California Pioneers, to try St. Jacobs Oil. It is fortunate he did so. for to-day, after long years of intense agony and utter prostration, he is able to walk about with comfort and without the aid of either cane or crutches. He has dis continued all medical treatment and the use of all narcotics, and he gratefully and emphatically attributes this happy result solely to the use of St. Jacobs Oil. The writer of this letter having himself been a sufferer from rheumatism, and having been thoroughly cured by the same reme dv. feels impelled by a; sense of duty afflicted humanity, to impart thisinforma tion to the public. Yours respectfully W. F. Swasey. San Francisco, Cal. Cavtain W. F. Swaew. Pioneer HalL.Citu. Dkar Captain Having carefully "read the foregoing. I cheerfully add mv unqual ified attestation to the truthfulness ot the statements contained therein. Of course no language Is adequate to convey a real istic sense of the fearful sunering and agony I have passed through in the last eight years, during which time I have ex pended at least 20,000 for remedies, med ical attendance, and an enforced residence at different bathing resorts. I cheerfully add this testimony because I feul perfectly certain that a knowledge of my cure by St. Jacobs Oil will prove the means of re lieving hundreds of sufferers from .the pangs of the dreadful disease alluded to Confident of being soon again able to re sume my former active life, I remain al ways your friend, D.

Mo., Post-Disnatch savs A most remarkable case has just come to the notice of a reporter of this paper, who having been informed of the wonderful cure of Mrs. Phoebe Rice, 1208 Madison street, a sister of Hon. II. Clay Sexton Chief of the St. Louis Fire Department, visited that lady at her residence. Mrs Rice made her statement without the least reluctance and said that for the past seven years, she had been a sufferer from acute, inflammatory rheumatism, which had af fected the muscles of the hands, contract ing them so badly she could not comb her hair, hold a needle or pick up a pin, and rendered the lower limbs so helpless she required crutches to move about. During ten months she was obliged to carry the right hand in a sling. Physicians were called in, but gave her only temporary re lief. Some time ago one of her children was afflicted with a contraction of the muscles of the lower jaw, which turned her mouth to one side; a few applications cf St. Jacobs Oil restored the features to their natural condition, and Mrs. Rice be gan to look hopefully towards it for her own cure. A single application, she said, made her a firm believer in- its virtues, as the effect was instantaneous and she was greatly benefited. The continued use of it brought her to the happy state in which the reporter saw her, with the free use of her limbs and in perfect health, cured. She was very enthusiastic in her com mendations of the pain-relieving and cur ative powers of St. Jacobs Oil, which she said had accomplished more for her in a few weeks than all the other remedies the physicians had recommended in the past seven years. She can now run up and down stairs, she said, and her hands were as useful, in every respect, as they had be fore she beganto suffer, seven years ago. "God bless St. Jacobs Oil," the good lady exclaimed, as the reporter was about to leave. Mrs. Rice has lived in this city thirty years, and her statement, worthy of all credence, is fully corroborated by her friends and neighbors, and by her own children, who were fully cognizant of her helpless condition before she began to use the wonderful remedy.

Hew II wa Overcome and the Way by which II was Finally Sard. (Correspondence Spirit of the Times.) An unusual adventure which recently occurred to your correspondent while hunting at Brookmere, in this State, is so timely and contains so much that can be made valuable to all readers, that I ven ture to reproduce it entire: 'he day was a most inclement one and the snow quite deep. Rabbit tracks were Slentiful, but they principally led in the irection of a large swamp, in which the rabbits could run without difficulty, but where the hunter constantly broke through the thin ice, sinking into the half-frozen mire to his knees. Notwithstanding these difficulties, the writer had persevered, al though a very small bag of game was the result. While tramping about through a particularly malarial portion of ; the swamp, a middle-aged man suddenly came into view, carrying a muzzle-loading shotgun and completely loaded down with game of the finest description. Natural curiosity, aside from the involuntary envy that instinctively arose, prompted the writer to enter into conversation with the man with the followingjresult: xouve had nne success; where did you get all that game?" Right here, m the swamp. It's prettv rough hunting in these Earts, especially when a man goes up to is waist every other step." "xes, its not very pleasant, but i am used to it and don't mind it." How long have you hunted herea- boutsf' Why, bless you, I have lived here most of my life and hunted up to ten years ago every year." " "How does It happen you omitted the ast ten years?" uecause l was scarcely able to move, much less hunt." "I don t understand you. f ter I had been tramping around all day in this same swamp, l felt quite a pain in my ankle. I didn't mind it very much, but it kept troubling me for a day or two, and I could see that it kept increasing. The next thing I knew, I felt the same kind of pam in my shoulder and 1 found it pained me to move my arm. This thing kept going on and increasing, and though I tried to shake off the feeling and make mvself think it was onlv a little temoorarv trouble, I found that it did not go. Shortly after this my joints began to ache at the knees and i finally became so bad that I had to remain in the house most of the time.", Arid did you trace all this to the fact that you had hunted so much in this swamp?" jo, l didn t knw what to lay it to, but I knew that I was in misery. My joints swelled until it seemed as though all the flesh I had left was bunched at the joints; my lingers crooked m every way and some of them Became double-iomted. In fact. every joint in my body seemed to vie with the others to see which could become the largest and cause me the greatest suffer ing. In this way several years passed on. during which time I was pretty nearly helpless, l became so nervous and sensi tive that I would 'sit bolstered up in the chair and call to " people that entered the room not to come near me, or even touch my chair. While all this was going on, 1 felt an awful burning heat and fever, with occasional chills running all over my body, but especially along my back and through my shoulders. Then again my blood seemed to be boiling and my brain to be on fire." "Didn't you try to prevent all this agony? "Try. I should think I did try. I tried every doctor that came within my reach and all the proprietary medicines I could hear of. I used washes and liniments enough to last me for all time, but the only relief I received was by injections of morpnine. "Well, you talk in a very strange man ner for a man who has tramped around on a day like this and 1115a swamp like this now m the world do you dare to do it? "Because I am completely well and as sound as a dollar. It may seem strange, but it is true that I was entirely cured; the rheumatism all driven out of my blood; my joints reduced to their natural size, and my strength made as great as ever before, y means of that great and simple remedy v arner s bate Rheumatic Uure, which believe saved my life." "And so you now have no fear of rheu matismf "Why, no. Even if it should come on, can easily get rid of it by using the same 1 ne writer turned to leave, as It was growing dark, but before I had reached the city precisely the same symptoms I had just heard described came upon me with great violence, impressed with the hunt er s story, I tried the same remedy, and within twenty-four hours all pain and in flammation had diseppeared.
