EXETER ADVOCATE. THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1396, The Week's Commercial Summary. Wheat is very dull, with prices at Chi- cago Monday the lowest of the'season. The cash demand is light. The stocks of wheat at Toronto are Steadily increasing.• The total is now 181,303 bushels as against 24,657 bushels a year ago. • Twenty-two failures are reported in the Dominion last week; two less than the previous week and one more than corresponding week last year. The net profits of Canadian Pacific for the month of May show an increase of $142,841 on the corresponding month of last year, and net earnings -for the first five months of this year increased $643,- I00. • The net earnings of leading western roads across the • border are un- favorebie for May. The visible supply of wheat in the United States and Canada is now 47,860,- 000 7,860,- 000 bushels, a decrease of 950, 000 bushels last -week. A year ago the total was 44,561,000 - The amount on passage to Europe d.'creased 1,5::0,000 bushels last week, and the tetal is now only 06,000,- 000 bushels as against 41,5.20,000 a year ago. There has been a quiet business in Wholesale circles at Toronto - during the Week. Polities and the Dominion holi- day are responsihte in a measure for the dulness, but it must be remembered that this is usually the dull season: °pinions as to future prospects of course differ, but until the ineotnin_s Govern- ment's trade policy is definitely settled so long will the feeling of uncertainty exist. It is generally thought that the grain crops, will be up to the average, but the present low prices of cereals are • discouraging to growers. The cattle and che. expert trader have been very disappointing se far this sc aeon owing to extremely low prices, which leaves little or no profit in these industries. tjpon Le:ng asked if he had seen a certain letter published in a Western Canada newspaper controverting what he had said as to the possible expansion of trade between Japan and Canada, Hon. Mr. Nesse, consul fur japan, Writes to The Monetary Times from Vancouver. Be says: "I. have not seen the paper referrt(l to, controverting my views upon the possibility of greeter Canada -Japan trade. and saying it could not be done.. That sort of thing is the very thing, however, your big neighbors (United States of America) want to have said,and that is the very re sen why the Cana- dians cannot so far get the extent of the Oriental trade they alight to have; it is • that they do not .sufficiently look after it. So long as a nation, or a Haan, leaves things to their own destiny and makes no eriurt to change it, how can the man or the nation accomplish its own destiny or purpose? I believe the Canadians should try their chances and see whether they may succeed in one item- or an- other, but should not say simply, "it is out of the .question." One has to build up business. Nobody is likely to bring you business if you sit and wait for it, but it is you who should go and get business abroad."—Monetary Times. Mr. Hague in his admirable address last week to •the shareholders of the Merchants' Bank, made- the following pertinent remarks on "Lessons of Experience," in hotness which cannot be too well learned by many of our traders: One thing, however, I muss emphasize, and it is this: That no metier ' whether trade generally is prosperous, or adverse, the old-faasfiloned rules that were the result of generations of experi- ence still prevail. Ietelligenee, prudence and industry will enure success, and the reverse will bring failure. In the same line of business, in the same place, and at the same time, some men succeed, while others fail As one of our country • Managers well ol.=_erves: Large profits and lucky speculations are things of the past, but capable men and -thrifty can still make money. • New if one man succeeds and another fails under- the same circumstances, in the same piece, in the same line of business, the fault cannot be attributed to the country. These things have been said before, and you may think it is a waste of time to utter such truisms. But, after all, the main part of our business is with indivi- duals. It is with the success or failure of the individual customer that we are concerned, and the whole secret of our business Iies in our power to discrimin- ate bewteen the prudent trader and the imprudent, the industrious and the idle, the foolish and the venturesome, and the calculating and economical. We have had some experience, but in such matters we may go on ever learning. Here and There. TOPICS OF A WEEK. 3'.�.Inlattsttant Events: in a Few Words For Busy Readers. CANADIAN.

Gen Weyler, commander of the Span - LIFE OF A DRUGGIST. Re is Expected to Know a Little of Every- thing. "It might seem to the superficial ob- server that the life of 'a druggist was ex- ceedingly monotonous," said a drug clerk, "but from the time that a young, man begins his studies in the College of Pharmacy to that day when he is the master of a business of his own, he is likely to get soiree views of and experi- ences with many phases of'life. Just sit down here and I will spin. you 'a yarn of some of the things 'that came to me in my early days. My first work as a drug clerk was in the Italian quarter. I had been studying only three months, and was not allowed to put up prescriptions alone: I had to sleep, over the store; and attend' those who might come in the night. • This:was' thrusting a great deal of responsibility upon. my youth and in- experience; for night calls generally rep- resent emergency oases, people who are taken suddenly and violently ill, or have taken poison. "It was a tough neighborhood. The Itnlitaih women used , to bring their sick Nibble into the store and want us not alone to sell them the'medicine that the child was in need of, but to prescribe for it as well. One time 1 assisted at a' minor surgical operation. One afternoon three men, under the influence of liquor, mule into the store. One of the mon had a bad cut running from the base of his thumb nearly up to his. wrist, which ye eluhcd about three stitches. There was another clerk on duty with me that af- ternoon. We told the niau that he should go to a doctor. lie answered: 'Doctor for that? Nixey.' What's de matter with you puttift'" do stitches in yourself? Go Rhea's,' We wonid-unt,_but ho insisted So we got some black thread which we kept to sew mi an occasional button, waked it, anti tack the three stitches with it. '.l'he fellow never flinched, and the wound healed up beautifully. "The night bell is supposed to be for cases of emergency. But you would be ' surprised at the liberal construction some people put on extreme cases. I re-' member having been c.•all�ed, up by a Man Who wanted a bottle of ink.

Mrs. Jolt: Beaumont, Elora. Ont, says: "For 10 years I have been an intense sufferer from rheuma- tism. At times confined to my bed, I doctored with all the local physicians, but with little or no relief. My recofery was almost despaired of, I was induced by a friend to try South American Rheu- matic Cure. After taking a few doses I was able to sit up, and when four bottles had been taken I was as well as ever. When it is remembered that the pain was so intense at times that I could not be moved in my bed, 'I can but say that my cure has been a wonderful one.", The most insidious of all diseases are perhaps those of the kidneys, anti it is only within a few years that advanced medical science has stepped in, and has successfully coped with the ravages of these dread disorders. Tho thousands of eases which harm been helped: and abso- lutely cured in the' rise of the great South American Kidney Cure is proof that the proprietor of the formula which gives to the World this valuable healer has mate a thorough study of such diseases, and the cure speaks the groat truths he dis- covered. A. Williamsen,Custotns Oflieer, Kincardine, Ont., a prominent citizen of that town, lends his testimony to the great benefit derived front its use: "I can highly recommend this specific as the greatest of boons to suffering humanity for all affections of the bladder and kidneys. It cured mo when all else failed," The dyspeptic—Who does not pity him? Emaciated, weary, gloomy, suffering agonies in mind and body.

South American Nervine never fails in such oases. Jr gives collide relief, and persist- ency in its use isalways rewarded by a cure.

"Then there is a great deal of discre- tion and tact and good judgment re -1 quired. Many, many times the druggist gets a prescription in which he is sure that the doctor has Made a mistake, and that there is a dangerous amount of some i drug, some poisonous drug. It then be- comes necessary to get the customer to have the medicine sent home. This gives the druggist time to call the doctor up • on the telephone and ask further instruc- tions about his prescription. If the cus- tomer is willing to allow you to send his • medicine home all goes well. But some - thins he is in a great horny, the patient is very ill—there are many things that will cause him to insist upon having the medicine at once. Of course, you cannot give it to him. No more can you tell him the reason. "A fashionable neighborhood often sends in very small orders. A few days ago a lacy wrote a note to me asking me to send something by the bearer for her baby's earache, something that she could use in a syringe, and to send a glass syringe. She sent fifteen cents with which to pay for the medicine and the glass syringe. In a cheap neighborhood this might be expected. But you see the houses are all good for blocks around. It is curious how a druggist can follow the course of a disease when he makes up the medicines from start to finish. I fre- quently make up my mind as to the fatal or happy termination of a disease by the prescriptions the doctor writes. It is funny, zoo, how much people take a druggist into family secrets—almost as fully as the doctor or the confessor. And you are supposed to know all about the diseases of cats, dogs and canaries."— New York Tribune. been harried Thomas McDonald. a U.
