Ilersee, Esq., teal estate agent, No. 5 Newark street, IIo boken, New Jersey, says: 1 was taken with severe pains in the shoulders and right arm. After us ing everything 1 could, and seeing that instead of improving, it be came worse, and that my arm was beginning to become of little use to me, I determined to make one more attempt by using some St. Jacobs Oil. Before the second bot tle had been exhausted I was re lieved of all my pains as if by mag ic. I recommend it to all.
