HEADING THE POLL BY 212 VOTES

{From Modern Truth.) The f T©at success and popularity of an article has now beeD confirmed by a Post Card Competition inaugurated by The Chemist and Druggist, a copy of which retches nearly every dealer in medicine in thu United Kingdom, the colonies, the' Continent, and in the United States. The publishers recently conceived the idea of ascertaining from the trade the moßt popular preparation for outward application sow being mannfaotured and sold. With this object in view they invited a post tard competition, "each dealer to name the preparation which was most popular with his customers. The publishers received 635 post cards with the following results :—: — 8- Jacobs Oil 384 Elliman'e Embrocation ... 172 Holloway's Ointment ... 32 Alcock's Porous Plaistera ... 19 Bow's Liniment 7 Perry Davis' Pain Killer ... 7 j Vaseline ... ... 4 Cnticura - 2 while eight other outward applications bad 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 preeminent among all other proprietary medioines for outward application. In fact, tbe 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 is advertised only for uucb ailments as it will cure, and htmce 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 ol large and influential papers have b&en do voted to the details ot what Bee in to be almost magical cures effected by tbe use of St. Jacobs Oil in local cises 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 tveiy. v?alk of life. The curative powers of St. Jacobs Oil I are simply marvellous. It conquers paia j quickly and surely. It cures even when everything else has failed. It has cared thousands of cases of rheumatism and j neuralgia which had resisted treatment for the greater port of a lifetime. It has cared people who have been crippled with pain for moie 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 j Majesty's troopships and the Canard Steam Ship Company's fleet.
