Wool. Very few manufacturers
have been seen in the market, and
those who have been in have bought
very sparingly. This tendency to cur
tail, coupled with the fact that this
year is year of presidential cleo
ZION, which alone naturally makes for
conservatism, creates cautious feel
ing all around. Dealers, however, are
not making much effort to force the
market. One reason is that stock of a
number of grades and varieties of
wool are very nearly cleaned out. OF
good domestic quarterblood and braid
wool there are practically none left.
Three eighths and half blood stock is
also In very small supply, and the
same may be said of staple wool and
strictly fine wool. Staple wool would
meet with a ready call, probably, if
there were STABLE lines here. Trade
has been very slow in feeces. Some
manufacturers who bought SO freely

Mr.. @. e. Janvrin, of Hampton Falls,
N. H., whose recovery furnishes con-
vincing evidence OF the power of the
new remedy.
Mr.. Janvrin was attacked about
three years ago by what he at first
thought was rheumatism. He did the
usual thing-applied liniments to his
legs, which were thu parts affected,
and got temporary relief. But the
trouble always returned and. each
time, with greater severity. He
realized that the disease was gaining
a firmer hold of his system all the
while, and after he had endured the
pain and discomfort for more than
a year, he began to consult physicians
in great anxiety.
He was startled by the verdict,
which they agreed in pronouncing in
his case. He learned from them that
he was in the grasp of fearful dis.
ease, already far advanced, from
which there seemed to be no possible
