sums BY the simple process Of continuous ID

but TO suppose that men in general must, a. Q
matter of course,acquire wealth by such means,

article referred to would lead people to sup

text: fortunes made by advertising Undoubt-
edly the greatest man Of the day as an adver-
ser is Holloway, who expends the enormous
sum of twenty thousand pounds annually in
advertisements alone his name is not only to
be seen in nearly every paper and periodical
published in the British Isles, but as if this
country was too small for this individuals ex-
ploiis, he stretches over the whole of India,
upper, central. and lower provinces of that
immense country, publishing his medicamenis
in the Hindoo, Oordno, Goozratee, and other
native languages. so that the Indian public can
take the Pills and use his Ointment according
to general directions, as a Cockney would do
within the sound OF Bow Bells. We find him
again al Hong Kong and Canton, making his
medicines known TO the Celestials by means
of Chinese translation. We trace him from
thence 10 the Philippine Islands, where he u
circulating ms preparations in the native lan-
guaees. Al Singapore he has large depot:
his agents there supply ali Inc Islands in the
Indian Seas. His advertisements are publish
ed IN most of the papers at Sydney, Hobart
Town, Launceston. Adelaide, Port Philip, and
indeed in almost every town of that vast por.
non of the British empire. Returning home
wards. we find his Pills and Ointment selling
al Valparaiso. Lima, Caliao. and other ports
in the Pacific. Doubling the Horn, We track
him in the Atlantic-Monte video, Buenos
Ayres, Santos, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, and Per-
nambuco; he is advertising in those parts in
Spanish and Portuguese. In all the British

Lower Canadas, and the neighboring provin-
ces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, his

Holloway's medicines are regularly advertised
and selling throughout. the Turkish empire;
and even IN Russia, where an almost insuI-
mounrahle barrier exists. the laws there prohi-
ting the entree of patent medicines, Hollovay's
ingenuity has been at work, and obviafes this
difficulty by forwarding supplies to his Agent
al Odessa, port situated on the Black Sea-
where they filter themselves surreptitiously
BY various channels, into the very heart Of the
empire. Africa has not been forgotten by this
indefangable man. Who has an agent on tho
River Gambia also al Sierra Leone. the plague
spot of the world the inhabitants readily avail
themselves of the Ointment and Pills; thus 20
can show our readers that Holloway has made
the complete circuit ofthe globe, commencing
with India. and ending, as we do. with the Cape
of Good Hope, where his medicines are pub
, ished in the Dutch and English languages:
and while speaking of Dutch, we have heard
that ne has made large shipments to Holland.
and is about advertising in every paper or Pc
/ riodieai published in that kingdom we might
add that he has also started his medicine II
some parts Of France; in some portions Of
Germany as also in some of the Italian states.
We have been a, some little trouhIe to collect
all these facts. because We fear that the article

is calculated to lead people TO spend their means
in the hope (as the author states) Of making q
hundred thousand pounds in SIX years for their

a Napoleon in his way. Many may have the

Failing in any one of these requisites, q tof
