I HEAPING THE POLLBY 212 VOTES {From Modern Truth.) The great success and popularity of an article has now been confirmed by a Post Card Competition inaugurated by Tbe Chemist and Druggist, a copy of which > reaches nearly every dealer in medicine in the United Kingdom, the colonie3, the Continent, and in the United States. Th« publishers recently conceived the idea of ascertaining from the trade the most popular preparation for oatward application now being manufactured and sola. "W Hn this object in view they invited a post card competition, each dealer to name the preparation which was moat popular with bis customers. The publishers received 635 post cards with the following results :—: — S* Jacobs Oil 384 Elliman's Embrocation ... 172 Holloway'B Ointment ... 32 Alcock'B Porous Pluisters ... 19 Bow's Liniment 7 Perry Davis' Puin 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 preeminent among all other proprietary medicines for outward application. In f sct. the sales are more than double those of any other proprietary medicine in the world, and 10 timeß 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 tiuch ailments ns it will cure, and hence it possesses the confidence of ail classes of people, and has become a household word in every civilised country. Its success and popularity has become the_ subject of comment by ulmost the entire presß of the country ; in many instances the leading articles of large and influential papers have been devoted to the details of what seem to bo almost magical cures effected by tbe use of St. Jacobs Oil in local cases coming under the mmediato attention of the publishers. St. Juoobs Oil is endorsed by statesmen, judges, the clergy, the medioal profession, uh well as by people in every walk of life. The curative powers of St. Jacobs Oil aro simply marvellouß. 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 ourod people who have been crippled with pa!n for raoie than 20 years. At'ter the most thorough and practical test, St. Jucobs Oil has received Six Gold Medals at different international exhibitions for its marvellous power to conquer pain. It is useri^ extensively in the leading hospitals and dispensaries of the metropolis and provincial cities, and also on board her Majbsty'e troopships and the Cunard Steam Ship Company's fleet.
