{rTBADING^THB POLL BY 212 VOTES, (From Modern Truth.) : The great success and popularity of an krticle has now been confirmed by a Posfi Card Competition inaugurated by -The Ohe« mist and Druggist, a copy of which reacbes nearly every dealer in medicine in the United Kingdom, the colonies, the , Continent, and in the United States. The publishers re« pently conceived the idea of ascertaining from the trade 'the most popular preparation for outward application now being manufac* tured and sold. With this object in view' Jthey invited a post card competition, each dealer to' name the preparation ,whicb wtf most popular with his customers. j The publishers received 635 post; cards fwith the following results : — St. Jacobs Oil ... ... 884, Elliman's Embrocation ... 172 Holloway's Ointment ... 32 Alcock's Porous Plaisters ... 19 Bow's Liniment ... ... 7 Perry Davis' Pain Killer ... 7 , ' Vaseline ... " ... 4 j Cuticura , , ... ... 2 jwhile eight other outward applications had 'one vote each. i It will thus be seen _that St. Jacobs Oil ;was named fty 384 different dealers as being jthe most popular remedy, leaving 251 (letf 'than half) to be divided among 15 othtf ; remedies; showing conclusively that Bt. • Jacobs Oil to-day stands pre-eminent among all other proprietary medicines for outward application. In fact, the sales are more than 1 double those of any other proprietary mcdi* "" cine in the world,' and 10 times greater than ; those of all other liniments and embrocv tions. . This wonderful success rests on the solid .foundation, of merit (acknowledged every* 'where). It is advertised only for such ailments as it will cure, and hence it possesses the confidence of all classes of peopk and has become a household word in ereiy civilised country. Its success and popularity has become tho subject of comment by almost the entire press of the country ; in many instances tha leading articles of large and influential papers haye been devoted to the details 01 what seem to be 'almost magical' cnrt« effected by the use of St. Jacobs Oil in local cases coming under the immediate atteDQ^ of the publishers. St. Jacobs Oil is endorsed by statesmen, judges, the clergy,' the meow" profession, as well as by people in every W&* of life. .■- ■ •The curative powers of St. Jacobs Ou aw simply marvellous.
