    YjEALTH, Good-Humor and Happiness go hand-in-hand through life. This fact M induces the undersigned to present annually, in connection with their St. Ja cobs H Oil Family Calendae, a series of original, humorous, copyrighted sketches, B written and illustrated expressly for this purpose, by the leading humorists and comic artists of America. These sketches, which contain nothing of an adver¬ tising nature, are pure in thought and word, and will afford amusement for old and young. As the Calendar is issued for free distribution among the million, every one is thus enabled to enjoy the wit of America's funny men at the fireside. It is, how¬ ever freely admitted, that while this little book is immensely funny, it is not pub¬ lished for fun. That, although it is full of comfort and joy for mankind in general, it is not issued purely as a matter of public philanthropy. The undersigned produce it in the interest of their business, and they conduct such business, primarily, for the purpose of making money. They conduct it, however, upon methods based on commercial fairness and right, and while in every branch of their vast enterprise—which is, by far, the largest of its kind in the world—their Policy is Honesty, it is not that honesty which is merely based upon policy. They show their own faith in the marvelous power of St. Jacobs Oil to Con¬ quer Pain, by expending millions in making it known over the entire Globe, and placing it in open competition with any and all other agencies of healing. But their phenomenal success could never have been achieved had not their claims in favor of this -wonderful remedy been, everywhere, realized by the public. Apart from their novel literary feature, the following pages cannot but demon¬ strate how Happiness—which is the absence of pain—may be secured by thousands, by the timely use of the Great Gekhan Remedy.
