should unite one witli the other in
righteous wedlock, after the manner
<j! every free man and every wise
woman, therefore I have given thee
four dollars in gold as a bridal gift,
that thou mayest come and enter
uiy house as a free woman. And for
my part I wilt not neglect thee more
than aB it were my own body.
Neither shall I bo able to put thee
forth without a cause, having legal
ground. But should I wish to put
thee forth, I will pay 17 dollars for
'he matter” !
OUCH! LUMBAGO!
RUB PAINS FROM
SORE, LAME BACK;
Back hurts you? Can't straighten
up without sudden pain, sharp aches
and twinges? Now listen! That’s j
lumbago, sciatica, or maybe from a
strain, and you’y get relief the mo
ment you rub your back with sooth
iiiR, penetrating St Jacobs Oil.!
Nothing else takes out soreness, j
lameness and stiffness sc, quickly ;
You simply rub It on your back, and 1
out comes the pain. It Is harmless,1
and doesn’t burn the skin.
Limber up! Don't sufTer! Get a
small trial bottle of old, honest St. j
Jacobs Oil from any drug store, and
after using it Just once you’ll forget
that you ever had backache, lum-l
baso or sciatica, because your back
will never hurt, or cause any more
misery. It never disappoints, and
has-been recommended for 60 years
