A Business sketch Of q Business Man.

A Business Sketch Of Business Man.
We copy the following sketch of the life of a
very extraordinary man, from an editorial in NY
Gas an illustration OF business tact and talent
we may point to the career OF Professor Holloway,
the proprietor Of the most popular medicines of
the age. The rise and progress of this extraordi
nary man have had no parallel during the present
century. He has visited nearly every Court in Eu-
rope, and obtained permission for the sale of his
preparations from most of the crowned heads of
the Old World. The queens of Spain and Por-
tugal, the Kings of Naples and Sardinia, granted
him audiences; and in st. Petersburg, which city
he visited short time before the commencement
of the war, he was treated with marked considera-
tion by the late Czar and the nobility. a
Travelling in an elegant private carriage, at
tended by courier, his equipage attracted atten-
tion in the towns and villages through which he
passed. The hotels where he lodged were besieged
bypersons of the first distinction and the bestsocie
ty on the continent courted his acquaintance.
"The subject of these remarks is unquestienably
an ambitious man, and his skill and enterprise
have placed him far id advance of all his predeces-
sors and contemporaries in the same profession.
He stands alone; and the fact that he can main
tain his high position, despite the interested assaults
ofenvy and presumption, proves that his medicines
have an intrinsic value, which the world under
stands and appreciates
"The sums expended in advertising by Professor
Holloway would be incredible if they we're not
authenticated by his books. His payments to the
press range from $4,000 to $500, 900 per annum.
There is no printed language in which his adver-
tisements do not appear 81
"The ramifcations his business extend from the
focal point--his vast establishment in the Straiid,
London-over the whole face of the earth.
"Ths extraordinary man is now in this country
. 80 nsy, Tha IN - ,h,,ta 20
his matchess enterprise, says, that having, like
Alexander, subdued the Old World, he is now
preparing to conquer the New.
professor Holloway has not been tempted
hther by thirst for gain-for his wealth is suffi
cient TO satisfy the most erigeant worshipper of
mammon-but by philanthropic desire to extend
the benefit of his medicines among people whose
character he admires. Everybody is, of coure,
anxious to the greatest advertiser in the world
In very short period, the American reputation Of
Holloway's Pills and Holloway's Ointment viii ri
val their European fame"

Cholera Infantum, Common Bowel Complaint, Bron-

commend It as family medicine.

diseases. When given to children, have always
combined it with the syrup of gum arabic, say ten

Others have mixed it with milk and moasses, equal
