with such ears like generally, and
are usually well.iitted, to conduct
large enterprises, To receive and
pay out large sums; In buying or
selling would prefer to leave a
margin rather than reduce the
quantity of any sort TO the exact
dimensions of the measure speci-
fed, and in giving would prefer
to give with free hand and with
out too strict a calculation as TO
the exact amount. Small ears, on
the contrary, desire to know the

with such ears would, in iaost
cases, peter a retail TO a wholesale

Mrs. Adam Grub. 23l Walnut

for a number Of years from ex-
IRENE pain in the feet. something
like rheumatism. She was also
very much troubled with corns
and bunions. 1T was with great
difficulty that she could walk, and
sometimes when she would visit
her husbands shoe store or.any Of
her children, she could not get
home again without assistance,
and often when she was walking
along the streets she would be
seized with such acute pain that
sic was compelled TO stop in at IT, Q
neighbors ON the way until she
got better. Some two weeks ago
she heard Of the wonderful cures
st. Jacobs Oil was eifecting and
she at once commenced 10 use ii
and experienced great relief i'm
medIately. The pains have left
her feet and ankles ald the in
fiammation has left the corns and

perienciug any pain.
