the day as an advertiser is Holloway. who
expends the enormous sum of twenty
thousand pounds annually in advertise

seen in nearly every paper and periodical
published in the British Isles. but as it

his medicines known to the Ceiestiais 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 sup
ply all the Islands in the Indian Seas.
His advertisements are published in most
of the papers at Sydney, Hobart Town.

about advertising in every paper or peri

might add that he has also started his

Of the Italian states. We have been at

, is calculated to lead people to spend their
means in hope (as the author states) Of
making hundred thousand pounds in six
years for their pains. by holding up as an
easy example to follow such a man as

have they the knowledge. ability. energy.
