{From Modern Truth.) Tbe preat 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 tnedioine in th« Uaited Kingdom, tke colonies, tbe Continent, and in tbe United States. The publishers recently conceived the idea of ascertaining from the trade the most popular preparation tor cat ward application now being manufactured and sola. "WithW ith this object in view they invited a post card competition, each dealer to name tbe preparation which was roost popular with his customers. Tbe publishers received 635 post cards with the following results :— 8- Jacobs Oil ... . ... 384 Elliman's Embrocation ... 172 Holioway's Ointment ... 32 Aloock's Porous Plaisters ... 19 Bow's Liniment 7 Perry Davis' Pain Killer ... 7 Vaseline < 4 Outicura 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 tbe sales are more than double those of any other proprietary medioine in the world, and 10 times greater than those of all other liniments and embrooations. This wonderful success rests on the solid foundation of merit (acknowledged everywhere), It is advertised only for uuoh 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 tbe entire press of tbe 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 looal oases coming under the mmediate attention of the publishers. St. Jacobs Oil is endorsed by statesmen, judges, tbe clergy, the medical profession, as well as by people in every walk of life. Tbe 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 oured thousands of obbob of rheumatism and neuralgia which had resisted treatment for the greater part of a lifetime. It has cured people who have been orippled with pain for oaoie than 20 years.' After the most thorough and praotical 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 tbe leading hospitals and dispenßaiies of the metropolis and provincial cities. ! and also on board hor Shin Opiapaoy 0 fleet)
