Ex-Consul’s Tale of Voyage Healing Ailment on Ship
An ex consul recounts a voyage to New York aboard a Cunard steamer where a young man suffers a severe back and chest ailment. A physician treats him nightly with oil applications and rest, and the patient recovers enough to travel home. He gifts the doctor a box of Saint Jacobs Oil and promises to introduce him to his mother in Sedalia Missouri if the doctor ever visits.
