The doctors are dumbfounded, the druggists astonished, and the people excited and joyful over the wonder- ful cures and tremendous sales of the great remedy, St. Jacobs Oil. Every case of Rheumatismâ€"some of many years' standingâ€"has given way to this powerful remedy. Thousands of certificates like the following can be furnished as to its value : George Scleycr,.'publisher of the Chilton, Wis, “Volksbote,” used St. Jacobs Oil for “almost unbearable pains in the back, which had comâ€" pletely prostrated him." A few ap- plications cured him entirely. Mrs. Fred. Eberle, Bellaire, 0., Was for a long time severely trou- bled with Rheumatism. St. Jacobs relieved and entirely cured her. Rev. Dr. 13. Pick, of Rochester, N.Y., suffered so intensely from Rheumatic pains that he was unable to preach. Several applications from a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil “relieved him." F. Radder, Cleveland, Ohio, says 2 .â€"â€"“Two applications of St. Jacobs Oil cured me of great and long-conâ€" tinued pain in my foot.” Messrs. C. L. Brundage and Son, druggists, Muskegon, Mich, write â€"“St. Jacobs Oil has a wonderful sale. We sold eight bottles at reâ€" “Would you object t‘o'tail yesterday. This will give you some idea of how well it is liked in this section." Mr. Louis I-Iinkcl, of East Pocsten, Kill, N.Y., says :â€"â€"“I call St Jacobs _Oil the best liniment I ever used. It cured me of Rheumatism and pain in the back.” Herman Ilittner, Manchester, NIL: ~â€"“I have tried St. Jacobs Oil, and found it excellent. All those who have purchased it speak of it as ‘simply incomparable.’ " Geo. G. Eriflc, Palestine, Ill. :â€"â€"“I was in bed suffering from a swollen leg. I used St. Jacobs Oil, its efâ€" feet was wonderful. The following day I attended to my business again." Dr. Otto Fuls, Reading, 0., writes :â€"â€"‘.‘The sale of St. Jacob Oil is constantly increasing ; it is praised by everybody, and never fails to give entire satisfaction.” n..- .....~..-.-....'â€"....__ 7 w _ _ 3’51 with the Higher Education in Canada to-day is the increasing recognition of the value of umvesbarv assistance Those who have investigated the plan of boardingâ€"house life for students in a strange city are keenly alive to its undesirable fca- ,_.I of first-class Residential Colleges ‘- are'enthusiastic in their advocacy of the life of such Colleges as an of young men and young women. i N HY ” IS ' ESSENTIALLY A RESEEENTIAL.

A. remarkable article appeared in the issue of December 12th of the Monetary Times on the state of the cement market in Canada and the crash that is likely to follow upon the formation of so many new com- panies. The Canadian production of ce< ment in 1901 was 445,000 barrels, the imports were in that year 550,- 000, making in all 945,000 barrels. In 1902 the total output in Canada had risen-to 815,000 barrels, and the imports 486,000 barrels, a. total supply ens-the market of 1,301,000 barrels. . The article then goes on to Show that whereas the market is growing at a normal rate, thelsupply will have risen to an alarming figure. The estimated production for 1903 of the nine factories in operation last year will be 1,515,000 barrels. In addition to this the five new com- panies that are setting up in On- tario are estimated to produce 825,â€" 000 barrels. Thus the output of On- taiib is likely to be well over 2,- 000,050(l barrels. The new factories opening in Quebec and Manitoba bring the Canadian output of cement to about 3,000,000 barrels. As the demand is about 1,200,000 barrels, one can easily imagine that the tre- mendous excess of production over demand is likely to cause a crash in fOOIiSh dog! the market that will be fatal and far-reaching. The collapse that has occurred in the German market (where cement is selling at 20 per cent. below cost price) through the number of facâ€" tories rushing into the business, is pointed out as a Warning to Cana- dians to go slowly and be sure of the demand before building costly factories and producing three times GOLD IN WALES. Some interesting experiments are being conducted on the Good Coch Estate, belonging to the Hon. Mrs. Brodrick, in the vicinity of Llane- lian and Bettws, by a goldmining exâ€" pert.
