FORTUNES MADE BY ADVERTISING

persons Of ability, who no doubt would maxi

<upPote that men in general must, - ! matte

abstrd as to imagine that all the penniless an

paper and periodical published in the British
Isles, but as if this country was too small fol

whole Of India, having agents in all the differ

vinccs Of that immense country, publishing hi.
nsdicaments in the Hindoo, Oordoo, Goczra
tee, 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 at Hong Kong and
Canton, making his medicines known to the
Celeslials by means Of a Chinese translation
We trace him from thence TO the Philippine isl.
ands, where he is circulating in TIE native
languages. At Singapore he has large depot :
hisagenss there supply all the Islands in the
Indian Seas. His advertisements are published
most of the papers at Sydney, Hobart Town,
Launceston, Adelaide, Port Philip, and indeed
IN almost every town ofthat vast portion of the
British empire. Returning homewa,ds, 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 Allan
tic-Monte Video, Buenos Ayres, Santos, Rio
Dc Janeira, Bahia, and Pernambuco he is adj
yeriising in these parts in Spanish and Portu-
guese. In all The British West India Islands.
sssalso in the Upper and Lower Canadas, and
the neighbouring Provinces of Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick, his medicines are famii;arlr
known, and sold By every druggist, as they are
at home. In the Mediterranean we find them
selling at Malta, Corfu, Athens, and Alexan-
dra, besides at Tunis and other portions of the
Bxrbary States. Any one taking the trouble to
look al the ssJournal' and g Courier of Con-
sanlinople may find in hese, as WI II as other
papers, that Holloway s ased.cines are regularly
advertised and selling throughou. the Turkish
empire; and even in Russia, where an almos,
insurmouatable barrier exists, The laws there
prohibiting the entree Of patent medicines,
Holloway ingenuity has been at work, and
cbsiates this difficulty by forwarding supplies to
his Agent al Odessa, port situated on the
Black Sea, where they filter themselves sur.
reptiticusly by various channels, into the very
heart Of the empire. Africa has not been for. 1
gotten by this interchangeable man, who has an
agent on the River Gambia: also at Sierra
1keEe, the plague spot of the world, the inha. |
bls3nts readily avail themselves of the Oint |
naent and Pills; thus we can show our readers
that Holloway has made the complete circuit
81 The globe, commencing with India, and end
ing as We do, with the Cape Of Good Hope,
where bis medicines are published in the Dutch
and English languages: and while speaking Of
Dutch, We have heard that he has made large
shiplents 10 Holland, and is about advertising
n every paper or periodical published in that
kingdom we nigh. add that he has also start
ed his medicine in soEae parts Of France in
some portions Of Germany, as also in some Of
Tie Italian states. We have been at some little
trouble to collect all these facts, because we
lsat that the article before alluded to, ssthe Art

pie 70 spend their means in the hope .(as the
suthof states) IF making hundred thousand
pounds in six years for their pains, by holding

holloway, who is really Napoleon in his way.
Many have the means, but have they the knowl-

necessary Failing in any one Of these -equi-
tes, ato'al loss 10 certain. Holloway is man I
aieulated to undertake any enterprise requiring G
ainense energies Of body and mind He has
made large fortune BY his labours; and is, We !
1ould suppose, every day greatly increasing o
~ wealth. Ofcourse it is not to our interest y
deter the public from advertising; but as
guardians Of their interest, we think it our in
:unbent duty TO place lighthouse upon what a
se consider dangerous slloal, which may per-
apsSopner,or later prevent shipwreck and ruin b
