A SKETCH or 111 Z COMMIND KKKKK AND PROD/1M

riurroa.—So many inaccuracies have been written and
quoted concerning tbe origin end first appearance of
in, medicines, as to indooe me to 'apply the following
few facts to those whom they may interest It waa on
the 15th of October, 1837, that my first advertisement
appeared. The medicines were not offered to the
public, or, indeed, known to them until this period.
My beginning was in a email way—my task very diffi-
cult end disheartening. I may add, as proof of my
early distouragements, that I had expended in on*
week the sum of 1300 in edvertisioc, and various other
ways, for the purposes of my business, and all I sold
IN that tune was two small pots of Ointment. In feet,
no person would then have aceepted the medicines as
a gift. I had to practice the most rigid economy and
to work most assiduously. By four o'clock in the
morning I had generally oommenord my day, not to
cease until ten at night, in order to do that myself for
which I else mast have paid others. Yet so strong
are the fetters of prejudice, that my Pills end Ointment
for a considerable time obtained little or no favour.
But I did not suffer my energy to be readily daunted ; I
went on advertising, not only with determination, but
indicion.ly and carefully, and in the end succeeded
in cresting for my preparation. • limited reputation
throughout the British Isles. This might have satis-
fied me at one time ; hut, as our desires increase with
our success, I made up my mind to be content with
nothing less than girdling the globe with depots of my
remediee. For this purpose I used to go down to the
Hocks to see captains of shit. and passengers railing to
all tarts of the world, collecting from them such infor-
'nation as no necessary. It was a rule with me front
. the commencement to spend judiciously all the money
I I could spare in publicity, which went on increasing.
when, in the year 11141 I expended about £6,030 in
advertising. Time rolled on, and from the hitherto
unthought-of yearly outlay of £5,000, I increased it to
£lO 000 in the year 1845. At the time of the Great
Exhibition in London in 1861 my outlay was alO,OOO
per manual, and in the year 1855 the coot of
publicity bad ripen to the ram of 230,000,
and now. in the present year 1883, it has
reached £40,000 in advertising my medicines in every
arailable manner throughout the globe: For the
proper application of their use I have had most ample
directions translated into almost every known
such as Chinese, Turkish. Armenian, Arabic, ranatlet,
and most of the vernaculars of India, and all the lan-
wyne„,,,,ta., on It.. European Continent. Among my
correspondents I number kinp and pettiest equally
