THE DORSET COUNTY EXPRESS AND AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE, TUESDAY, MAY 4, 1880.

A .most•gratifying statement was that which the
Mayor was pleased to make on Tuesday, with refsrenos
to the conduct displayed by the police force during the
recent election. •
Ifs alluded to the prevalence of
drunkenness during the contest, and this fact alone
maY have justified His Worship in making use of the
observations he did. Their conduct from the Inert
unto the greatest is deserring much pmisey ecellidert
the exceptional forbearance they exhibited, and whi%
entirely flouts the stigma which has been hurled at
them from quarters which should have protected the
police, instead of attempting to incite pepither feeling
against them. Let It be remembered that the police
were neither biased, nor did they countenance riotous
proceedings, but, on the contrary, wisely •'"
in a manner which prevented the chances of a riot.

A number of evils have lately been remedied, thanks
to the Local Board and Town Council ; but at least
one more remaineth, which if remedied by shop-
keepers, may prevent an order from one of the above
municipal bodies. Fixed to the pavement, in front of
many of our shops, are a number of tiny iron rings,
which protrude above the foot-way. Now these little
necessaries, to which are affixed the supports for
awnings, might just as well be sunk beneath the
level of the pavement where they would be in
nobody's way—and no one would find them a
"stumbling block." Even in the broad light of day,
people are apt to, and indeed often do, stumble over
them. One night last week a gentleman proceeding
home from the elite rooms in East-street, nearly lost
his equilibrium over one of these treacherous little
irons, opposite the Town Hall. Luckily a doctor was
with him, or he would certainly have struck an
attitude which would have enabled him to study
astronomy at his leisure. However, he was luckily
unhurt, and after passing a few affectionate eulogiums
on the shop-keeper, paned on. When some fine day
an unfortunate timid is precipitated through a plate-
glees front, and the owner of the head coolly oaks

Column Facie itatarmo To PATES? Manicures—Few
can form an adequate idea of the statistics of patent
medicines in general, but the history, or rise, progress,
and present date of one of there—we mean Holloway's
pills and ointment—may be considered one of the most
Interesting episodes of modern civilisation. Nothing
=easier—no mode of business seems readier at hand
the establishment of • potent medicine. Only •
slip of paper is required, with a prescription upon it, and
• few drugs. Such is all the general public think
necessary ; and so • great many have tried the thing over
and over again to their great lom and huge disappoint-
ment. True, • patent medicine only results from a
prescription written on • piece of pope?; but then the
thing must prove itself worthy of the confidence of the
c publ , and its verdict depas upon the efficacy of the
medicine—in a word, its success in the cure of disease.
Fortunately, the rise of the far•famed Holloway's pills and
ointment was like that of • Napoleonic idea—a design
that nothing could withstand in ita march towards uni-
versal conquest. When Professor Holloway, some thirty
years ago, spoke to the principal of an eminent firm about
bringing out a patent medicine, the
hail
gentleman shook
his head, and asked the.prelem i or f he any money.
" Yea" was the reply. "Then you had better keep it,"
reioined be. In spite of this discouraging hint,
however, Holloway, conscious of the importance of
his great discovery, knowing that it was not merely • slip
of paper with a prescription upon it, but something
destined for • great future, persevered against all opposi-
tion and very soon discovered that not only the entire
British public, but all the world, were reedy to support
him in his great design of doing battle with disease in
every form, and with the most efficient weapons, although
only in the shape of simple pills and ointment The
progress of this patent medicine was not slow. On the
contrary, it was commensurate with the greatness of its
object, and it. all-powerful efficacy, and as for the
present state of Holloway's pills and ointment, according
to the statistics of patent medicines, we may truly
declare that it is astounding. It may suffice on the
present occasion to poiat to the fact that the number
of drugaste and medicine vendors throughout the United
Kingdom with whom Professor Holloway is connected
Is over fourteen thousand, and that not one of them would
remain for an hour without a supply of his pills and
ointment—so great is the demand for them amongst all
classes of the community. Such has been the success
of this patent medicine_ project, against which so eminent
• connoisseur as Mr. Barclay shook his head, but who
lived to test it, and to congratulate its fortunate
designer. Nor can we avoid remarking that Holloway's
is a double sitcom—not only to himself, by its ample
rewards, but also to the community and the world at
large who have derived the greatest benefit from his
decitnines. —TAit Pkilosopkiall 4dsoeei..
