A CHICAGO dispatch of the 18th, speak
ing of the recent failures in Chicago, in
augyrated by the collapse of the firm of
McGeoch, Evering_a.n X Co., says: “The
causes of the failure of the lard king are, of
course, due to the fact that he had over
weighted himself with a commodity of
which there was an enormous supply in the
market, and but little demand for shipment.
These facts forced themselves upon dealers
many days ago, and there has been for all
that time a steady pressure to sell, which
the McGeoch party, being already loaded
down to the guards, could not withstand.
They could not sustain prices, could not
take the lard offered, and could not, finally,
put up margins on what they had.
The result was inevitable collapse
and failure. - No doubt, too, the lard
investigation helped to bring it about,
in that the revelations made tended to de
stroy confidence in the intrinsic value of
the product and create general belief in the
probability of a break. Indeed, it is said
that at one bank where McGeoch had ap
plied for aid he was pointedly asked how
he could expect to borrow money on a col
lateral whose actual value he was trying
bis best to depreciate.

Saved Him 1,800 Dollars.
Apams, N. Y., Jan. 30, 1882.
Dr. B. J. KenpaLL & Co., Gents:—Having
used a good deal of your Kendall's Spavin Cure
with great success, I thought I would let you
know what it has dene for me. Two years ago
I had as speedy a colt as was ever raised in
W’@“‘fl‘m Couna-; When I was breaking him,
* KICBCaA uver o ¢rove-bar and gotfast and
tore one of his hind legs all to pieces. 1 em
ployed the best farriers, but they all said he
was spoiled. He had a very large thorough
in, and I used two bottles of your Kendall's
ggavin Cure, and it took the bunch entirely
off, anid he sold afterward for $l,BOO (one thou
sgand eight hundred dollars). 1 have used it
for bone spavins and wind galls, and it has
always cured completely and left the leg
smooth.
It is a splendid medicine for rheumatism. I
have recommended it to a good many and they
all say it does the work. 1 was in Withering
ton & Kneeland's drug store, in Adams, the
other day, and saw a very fine g)icture you
gsent them. 1 tried to buy it, but could not:
they said if I would write to you that you
would send me one. I wish you would, and I
will do you all the good I can.
Very respecttully, E. S. LYMAN.
From the Akron COMMERCIAL,
Ohio,.of Nov. 25th, 1882,
Readers of the Commercial can not well for
get that a large space has for years been taken
up by Kendall's advertisements—especially of
a certain Spavin Cure. We have had dealings
with Dr. Kendall for many years, and we know
of some large business houses in cities near by
who have also dealt with him for many years,
and the truth is fully and faithfully proven,
not only that he is a good, honest man, and
%hat his celebrated Spavin Cure is not only all
hat it is recommended to be, but that the Eng
lish language is not capable of recommend
ing it too highly.
Kendall Spavin Cure will cure spavins. There
are hundreds of cases in which that has been
proven to our certain knowledge, but, after all,
if any person confines the usefulness of this
celebrated medicine to curing spavins alone
they make a big mistake. It is the best med
icine known as an_outward application for
rhetimatism in the human family. It is good
for pains and aches, swellings and lameness,
and is just as safely agpliod to men, womeén
and children as it is to horses. We know that
there are other good liniments, but we do be
lieve this spavin cure to be far better than any
ever invented.
\DALL’S SPAVIN CURE

Dr. B. J. KEnpALL & Co., Gents:—Sample of
ecirculars received to-day. Please send me
gome with my imprint printed on one side
only. The Kendall's Spavin Cure is in excel
lent demand with us, and not only for animals
but for human ailments also. Mr. Jos. Voris,
one of the leading farmers in our county,
sprained an ankle badly, and knowing the
value of the remedy for horses, tried it on
himself, and it did far better than he had ex
pected. Cured the sprain in very short ovder.
Yours respectfully, C. O. THIEBAND.
