HEADING THE POLL BY 212 VOTES. (From Modern Truth.) The great success and popularity of an article has n.ow been confirmed by a Post Curd Competition inaugurated by The Chemist and Druggist, a copy o£ which reaches nearly every dealer in medicine in the United Kingdom, the colonies, the Continent, and in ttic United States. The publishers recently conceived the idea of ascertaining from the trade the most popular preparation for outward application now being manufactured anil sold. With this object in view they invited a post card competition, each dealer to name the preparation which was most popular with his customers. The publishers received G35 post cards with the following results: —

St. Jacobs Oil ... ... 384 Ellirean's Embrocation ... 172 Holloway's Ointment ... H2 Alcock's Porous Plaisters ...- 19 Bow's Liniment ... ... 7 Ferry Davis'Pain Killer ... 7 Vaseline ... ... 4 Cuticura ... ... 2 while eight other outward applications had one vote each.

It will thus be seen that St. Jacobs Oil was named by 384 different dealers as being the most popular remedy, leaving 251 (less than half) to be divided among 15 other remedies; showing conclusively that St. Jacobs Oil to-day stands pre-eminent among all other proprietary medicines for outward application. In fact, the sales are more than double those of any other proprietary medicine in the world, and 10 times greater than those of all other liniments and embrocations. ..

This wpnderful success rests on the solid foundation of merit (acknowledged everywhere). It is advertised only for such ailments as it will cure, and hence it possesses the confidence of all classes of people, and has become a household word in every civilised country. Its success and popularity has become the subject of comment by almost the entire press of the country; in many instances the leading articles of large and influential papers have been devoted to the details of what seem to be almost magical cures effected by the use of St. Jacobs Oil in local cases coming under the immediate attention of the publishers. St. Jacobs Oil is endorsed by statesmen, judges, the clergy, the medical profession, as well as by people in every walk of life, ■

' The curative powers of St. Jacobs Oil are simply marvellous. It conquers pain quickly and surely. It cures even when everything else has failed. It. has cured thousands of cases of rheumatism and neuralgia which had resisted treatment for the greater part of a lifetime. It has cured people who have been crippled with pain for more than 20 years. After the most thorough and practical test, St. Jacobs Oil has received Six Gold Medals at different international exhibitions for its marvellous power to conquer pain. It is used extensively in the leading hospitals and dispensaries of the metropolis and provincial cities, and also on board her Majesty's troopships and the Canard Steam Ship Company's fleet. •
