SEVEN WISE MEN BAFFLES.
The N. Y. Morning Journal says that
Mrs. F. G. Kellogg, 50 E. 86th St., was
partially paralyzed, and lay for seven days
in convulsions. Physicians were engaged
and discharged until seven had failed to
help or cure Ther. She was unable to leave
her bed, and was as helpless as a child,
After using all sorts of salves, ointments,
lotions and plasters, her case was given up
as hopeless. She was induced to try St.
J acobs Oil as a last chance. She began to
improve from the time the first application
was made, and by its continued use, she
has completely recovered.
NEURALGIA.
A lady in Virginia, after using the Treat
ment for two weeks, writes:
"I am a great deal stronger than when I
commenced its use. One thing I must
tell you. It stopped the neuralgia. 1
took cold and feared that I would have it
for two or three weeks, as I generally stood
the pain for that long before I would take
cm oral, ine oniy tmng mat eversioppea il
before, and I disliked to take it so much
that I would put it off until I thought I
could not live for the agony. But this time
it only lasted txco days. When I began
the Compound Oxygen I could scarcely sit
up an hour; now I can sit up most of the
time."

A CURE OF PNEUMONIA.
Mr. D. H. Barnaby, of Owego. N. YM says
that his daughter was taken with a jyjolent cold
which terminated with pneumonia, and all the
beet physicians gave the case up and said she
could live but a few hours at most. She was in
this condition when a friend recommended DR.
WM. HALL'S BALSAM FOR THE LUNGS,
and advised her to try it. She accepted it as a
last resort, and was surprised to find that it
produced a marked change for the better, and
by persevering in its nse a cure was effected.

Mrs. W. K. Sidley, No. 3848 Ellis avenue,
Chicago. HL, says: " We have used Papillon
Cough Cure for all kinds of coughs in our fam
ilies. We have never known a case of whooping
cough that the syrup failed to cure. We rec
ommend it to every one and wish every family
had a bottle of it on hand."
Mrs. Mary E. Richards, No. 3827 Ellis avenue,
writes June-30, 1882: "I owe you many thanks
for the courtesy last Saturday evening in send
ing me the medicine I so much wished for. I
was first enabled to try your whoopine cough
remedy(Papillon Cough CureKthrough the kind
ness o my neighbor, Mrs. W. K. fcSidley, and
it gave such great relief to my little girl that
when the second child was attacked, I coveted
the same relief for her. I know of no other
medicine which so much mitigated a malady,
generally so distressing, and feel very appreci
ative of my good fortune in obtaining it.
Mrs. M. D. Davis, No. 383fl Ellis avenue, and
Mrs. Jas. M. Buchanan, No. 3831 Ellis avenue,
also recommend Papillon Cough Cure for
whooping cough; it cured their children, one an
