FORTUNE MADE BY ADVERTISING.

FRoM small pamphlet, entitled "The Art
of making Money!" an extract has been taken,
and is going the round of the provincial press
pointing out the facility Of making immense
sums by the simple process of continuous ad-
vertising. Doubtless large sums have been,
are, and will be made by such system by
certain persons of ability, who no doubt would
make their way in the world if called upon
10 play different parts on the great stage of
life; but 10 suppose that man in general must,
as a matter OF course acquire wealth by ssch
means, is as absurd as TO imagine that all the
pennIess and shoeless of London are capable
Of rising 10 the dignity and wealth Of an al
derman or the lord mayor OF London simply
by reading the "Young Mans Best Compan-
ion.n Money is not so easily made as the
writer of the Article referred TO would lead
people to suppose il it be 30, few need be
poor But 10 our text: fortunes made by adj
verlising. Undoubtedly the greatest man of
the day as an advertiser is Holloway, who
eypends the enormous sum Of twenty thou
sand pounds annually in advertisements
alone his name is no, only to be seen in
nearly every paper aud periodical published
in the British Isies but as il this country was
too small for this individuals exploits, he
stretches over the whole Of India, having
agents in all the different parts of the uppeF,
central, and lower provinces Of that immense
country, publishing his medicamenls in the
Hindoo, Oordoo, Gnozraiee, and other native
languages, so that the Indian public can take
The Pills and use his Ointme1t according 10
general directions, as a Cookney would do
within the sound of Bow Bells We find him
again al Hong Kong and Canton, making his
medicines known 10 the Celes,ials By means
of Chinese translation. We trace him from
thence TO the PHILIPPINE Islands, where he is
circulating his preparations in the native
languages. At Singapore he has large de-
pot: his agents there supply all the Islands
in the Indian Seas. His advertisements are
published in most Of the papers at Sydney,
Hobart Town, Launces,on, Adelaide, Port
Philip, and indeed in almost every town Of
that vast portion Of the British empire. Re-
turning homewards, we find his Pills and
Ointment selling at Valparaiso, Lima, Callao,
and other ports in the Pacific Doubling the
Horn, we track him in the Atlantic Monte
yideo Buenos Ayres, Santos, Rio de Jancrio,
Bahia, and Pernambuco he is advertising in
those parts in Spanish aud Portuguese. In
all the British West India Islands, as also in
the Upper and Lower Canadas, and the
neiehbouring provinces of Nova Scotia and
| New Brunswick, his medicines are as famii-
arly known, and sold by every druggist, as
they are at home. In the Mediterranean we
find them selling at Malta, Corfu, Athens,
and Alexandria, besides at Tunis and other
portions of the Barbary States Any one
taking the trouble 10 look at the Jonrnal'
and Courier of Constantiuople, may find in
these, as well as other papers, that Holio'
ways medicines are regularly advertised
and selling throughout the Turkish empire
and even in Russia, where an almost insur
mouniable barrier exists, the laws there pro
