(From Modern Truth.) The great success and popularity of an Article has now been confirmed by a Post Card Competition inaugurated by The Chemist and Druggist, a copy of which reaches nearly every dealer in medioine in the United Kingdom, the colonies, the Continent, and in the United States. Tbu publishers recently conceived the idea of ascertaining from the trade the most popular preparation for outward application now being manufactured and sold. With this object in view they invited a pußt card competition, each dealer to name the preparation which wus moat popular with bis customers. The publishers received 635 post cards wilh the following results :—: — S- Jacobs Oil 384 Ellimau'B Embrocation ... 172 Holloway's Ointment ... 32 Alcook's Porous Pluisters ... 19 Bow's Liniment 7 Perry DaviB 1 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 (lees than half) to be divided among 15 other remedies ; showing conclusively that St. Jacobs Oil to-day stands preeminent 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 wonderful success rests on the solid foundation of merit (acknowledged everywhere), It iB advertised only for tjuch ailments os 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 enres effected by tbe 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.
