Tho Sure Road TO Fame and Fortune

We take il 10 be demenstrable fact that
no discovery or invention worth advertising
at all can be advertised too extensively. -
The man whose mental vision is darkened
by misery instincts, whose soul lies in his
breeehes pocket, cannot understand this;
and ii such All one in his melc.like CROP
inas, should chance upon some new aud
useful truth, he would be afraid 10 take the
sure road 10 celebrity, which lies through
the columns of the press, lest he should be
ruined by the tolls What 4 contrast does
the brilliant and beneficial career Of Prof
Holloway present To the blind stupidity OF
such man. Having perfected, alter many
years of laborioas research aud experiment,
two remedies which he kpe4, 0jta positive
certainty, we've absolute specifics for near
lv every internal and external malajy iacl-
dent 10 humanity, be determined at once 10
siye them a wider Publicity than any other
medicine had ever attained. His motive
vas noble aud benevolent He felt that he
| possessed the power al mitigating suffering
and waging successful war with diseases
heretofore ansoRquerable, and like good
champion he tesriessly entered the lists
Had he been moved bs asariee instead OF
philanthropy he could not have taken a su-
r,r or shorter path 10 wealth The plan oi
advertising preparations, which actually &c.
cosnplsshei all tia, empirieism had ever pro-
| miseJ or medical orthodoxy attempted, al
course proved self remunerasye. H. food
ed every hat,an With his adv eftisemeats, be
| per, aided the whole world with bis medi-
c,nes, aud the world repaid him with a
shower OF gold. We yerly believe that
| there IS ao possible means vi disseminating
| information among them that he has moi
adopted 10 giving Rotorety TO his pills ans
| ointment.
The Hon. Mahlon Dickinson, OF New

10 big fagstsiis, aud We have lutte don6i

each with his name and address inscribed
upsn il. In fact. such j. the enterprise ant
irreptessble energy Of the man, that wt
should scarcely be surprised to hear OF thu
| virtues OF his medicines being inscribed OF
| the desert sands OF md Africa or traced il
| the eternal snow that caps the peaks o
the Andes. His central office for thi
hemisphere (he maps out his advertising
| ground BY hemispheres) SO Maiden Lane
| has only been established about two years
and yet probably there are not five hundree
adults out OF our population Of thirty mil
| lions who have not heard OF Holloway ;;
| Pills and Ointment. Be this a. il may, il
| is a statistical fact, verified by the books o.
! the establishment, that more than halt Q
million OF persons have within that time
purchased the preparations al the New fori
Office anu its Country Agencies. Could the
amount OF good they have effected in tina
period, in the United States alone, be com
| puted and placed on record, il would Of It
sell form one Of the prsudest monuments Q
success to which jealous philanthropy OF
one hand and popular appreciation on TN
other, have ever contributed.-A. y, Da!
