© COMMERCIAL REVIEW,
General Trade Conditions,
R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: Although the shortest
month of the year was further curtailed
by two holidays and handicapped by the
most severe storms of the winter, in-
dustrial and trade results were most
satisfactory. The closing week brought
a general resumption of activity in lines
that suffered from the weather, and
preparation for an exceptionally heavy
spring business was reported at many
points.
Wheat came into sight rather more
freely than a year ago, and the Atlantic
shipment of flour made a better com-
arison than in recent preceding weeks,
but total exports of wheat from the
United States, flour included, were
3,185,052, against 4,324,240 bushels a
year ago. Corn showed a loss in both
movements.
Failures for the week numbered 215
in the United States, against 179 last
year, and thirty-five in Canada, against
thirty-one last year.

ANOTHER GRAND REPORT FROM "s |
MAJESTY'S DOCKYARD, AT
PORTSMOUTH, ENGLAND,
Where Upwards of 10,000 Men Are Con-
stantly Employed.
Sometime ago the Portsmouth Times
and Naval Gazette published, a most thrill:
ing and remarkable hed of the wife
of Mr. Frederick Payne, himself connected
with the Portsmouth Dockyard for many
years. The report produced a great sensa
tion, not only in Portemouth, but through-
out the country, being considered of suffi-
cient importance for reproduction and ed-
itorial comment by the leading Metropoli-
tan and Provincial Ingland, as
showing the marvelous powers which St.
Jacobs Oil possesses as a cure for Rheuma-
tism, its application having effected a per-
fect cure in the case of Mrs. Payne, after
having been a helpless cripple and given
up by several physicians.
We have now further evidence of its in
tringic value as a Pain Conqueror. Our
readers will do well to follow the intelli
gent and highly interesting details as given
in Mrs. Rabbets’ own words:
To the Proprietors St. Jacobs Oil:
Gentlemen—My husband, who is a ship
wright in His Majesty's Dockyard, met
with an accident to his ankle and leg,
epraining both so badly that his leg turned
black from his knee to his toes. The Dr
said it would be months before he could
put his foot to the ground, and it was
doubtful whether he would ever get proper
ase of his leg again.
A few days alter the accident I had
a book left at the door telling about St.
Jacobs Oil, sd I procured a bottle from ow
Mr. Arthur Creswell, 379 Com
Road. 1 began to use St
Qi}, and you may guess 1m)
when, in about another week
from that date, my husband could not
only stand, but could even wallt about
and in three weeks from the time I first
the Oil my husband was back at
work, and everybody talking about his
wonderful recovery. This is not all. See
ing what St. Jacobs Oi! could do gave mc
faith in your Vogeler’s Curative Compound,
also favourably mentioned in the book left
at my house. I determined to try the
compound on my little gir!, who was suf
fering from a dreadful skin disease, the
treatment of which has cost me large sums
of 1noney in going from one doctor to an
other with her all to no purpose.
She has taken two bottles of Vogeler’s
Curative Compound, and one would now |
hardly take her for the same child, hes
skin has got such a nice healthy colour
aiter the sallow look she has always had.
I shall never cease to be thankful for
the immense benefit we have derived from
these two great remedies of yours. I
think it a duty to reccommend these medi
cines now I have proved their value.

The above Lonest, straightforward state-

er and far more convincing than pages of
paid advertisements, which, though in
themselves attractive, yet lack that con-
vincing proof which Mrs. Rabbets’ descrip-
tion of her own experience supplies. St. |
Jacobs Oil has a larger sale throughout

Mrs. L.A. Torr a Prominent Member
of a Chicago Woman's Political Club, tells
how Ovarian Troubles may be Cured withs
out a Surgical Operation. She says:
“ Doctors have a perfect craze for eperations. The minutg
nothing but an operation will do them; ona
there is any trouble,
pain, and
hundred dollars and costs, and included in the costs are
agony, and often death.
“I suffered for eight years with ovarian troubles ; spent hundreds
of dollars for relief, until two doctors agreed that an operation was
my only chance of life. My sister had been using Lydia E, Pink
hess ‘egetable Compound for her troubles, and been cured,
and she strongly urged me to let the doctors go and try the Come
pound. I did so as a last resort; used it faithfully with the Sana-
tive Wash for five months, and was rejoiced to find that my troubles
over and my health restored. If women would only try Lydia
Vegetable Compound first, fewer surgical operations
would occur.” —MRrs. L. A. Harris, 278 East 31st St., Chicago, Ill
