and his operations, which We extract from the
pictorial Times, printed at London.
FORTUNE MADE BY ADVERTISING
From small pamphlet, entitled "rhe Art
of making Money an extract has been taken,
and is going the round OF the provincial pres,,
pointing out the facility Of making illm. ns
sums by the simple process of continuous al
vertising. Doubtless large sums have been,

make their way in the world if called upon to
play different parts on the great stage of life
but to suppose that men in general must, as
matter of course, acquire wealth by such means.
is as absurd as to imagine that all the penniless
and shoeless of London are capable Of rising to
the dignity and wealth Of alderman or the
lord mayor of London simply by reading the

alone /; his name is not only to br seen in nearly
every paper and periodical published in the
British Isles, but l's it this country was too small
for THIS individuals exploits, he stretches over
the whole OF India, having agents in all the diff
ferent parts of the upper, central, and lower
provinces of that immense country, publishing
his medicaments in the Hindoo; Oordoo, Gooz-
ratee, and other native languages, so tina. 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 70 the |
Celestials by means of a 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
a large depot: his agents there supply all the
Islands in the Indian Seas His advertisements
are published in most Of the papers at Sydney, |
Hobart Town, Launceston, Adelaide, Port Phil |
ip, and indeed in almost every town Of that vast
portion of the British empire. Returning
we find his Pills and Ointment |
selling at Valparaiso, Lima, Calao, and other
ports N the Pacific. Doubling the Horn, we
track him in the Atllnic- Monte Video, Bue-
nos Ayres, Santos, Rio de Janriro, Bahis, and
Pernambuco: he is advertising in those parts in
Spanish and Portuguese. In all the British
West India Islands, as also in the Upper and
Lower Canadas and the neighbouring provinces
of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, his medi-
cines are familiarity known, and sold by every
druggist, as they are at home. In the Mediter-
ranean we find them selling a. Malta, Corfu,
Athens, and Alexandra, besides al Tunis and
other portions of the Blrbary States. Any one
taking the trouble to look at the journal and
'Cour er of Consantinople, may find in these,
as well as other papers, that HolloWay's medl- |
cines are regularly advertised and selling |
throughout the Turkish empire and even in |
Russia, where an almost insurmountable barrier |
exists, the laws there prohibiting the entree of
patent medicines, Holloways ingenuity has
warding supplies to his Agent at Odessa, port
situated On the Black Sea. where they filter
themselves surrepttiously by various channels,
into the very heart of the empire. Africa has
not been forgotten by this interchangeable man,
who has an agent on the River Gambia also
at Sierra Leon, the plague spot of the world,
the inhabitants readily avail themselves Of the
Ointment and Pills; thus we can show our
readers that Holloway has made the complete
circuit of the globe, commencing with India,
and ending as we do, with the Cape of Good
Hope, where his medicines published in the
Dutch and English languages aud while speak
ing Of Ouch, we have heard that he has made |
large shipments to Holland and is about adver-
tising in every paper or periodical published in
that kingdcm we might add that lie has also
started his medicine in some parts Of France in
some portions of Germany as also in some of
the Italian states.
We have been at some little trouble to col /
lect all these facts, because we fear that the
article before alluded TO-. sthe Art Of making
Money" is calculated to lead people to spend
their means in the hope (as the author s,ates) of
making hundred thousand pounds in six years
for their pains, by holding up an easy example |

means but have they The knowledge, ability, |
energy, judgment, and prudence necessary
Failing in any one Of these requisites, a total
loss is certain Holloway is a man calculated
to undertake any enterprise requiring immense
energies Of body and mind. He has made a
large fortune BY his Iabours; and is should
suppose, every day greatly increasing his wealth
OF course it is not TO our interest to deter the
public from Advertising but, guardians of
their nte rest, we tbink.it our incumbent duty to
place slighthouse Hpon what we consider a
dangerous shoal, which may perhaps sooner or
later prevent Ghipwreck and ruin to the sang
uine and inexperienced about to nav gate in
such waters.
