THE CESAR OF THE PRESENT DAY

The Gloryof Civilization. Caesar has been
characterized by Shakespeare as ''the foremost
man of all the world" We Judge Of men
by a different standard now, for VIC have a
man much greaterthan Cesar. The triumphs
and glories of all the Caesars were as nothing
compared with the triumphs of Professor
Holloway. When 'the great Cesar was
dispatched to Gaul By the Roman Senate, the
first communication they received from him
was the eplgrammatic announcement, 81
came, | saw, conquered" When Holloway
under the influence of noble philanthropy,
and guided by sound philosophy, entered
on his mission Of happiness to man, his sue
cesses might well have been recorded in the
words, 81 came, | saw, | saved" Caesar,
during his campaign in Germany, determined
to rise up with his army against the State;
his first step was to cross the Rubicon. n
chaos of bloodshed, wickedness and anarchy
ensued, which the world has seldom seen
since then Holloway, disgusted and shock
ed with the futility of the means commonly
employed to counteract disease and preserve
health, set his energies to work to devise a
new and universal curative; his first step was
to consult Nature. Nature responded and
his medicines, scattered over the face Of this
broad and beauteous earth, shed their bles-
sings on suffering myriads, and brought
health to countless homes from which other
wise peace and happiness would have forever
fed.
When Caesar entered Rome in Triumph,
the envious Marcellus exclaimed;
what tributaries follow him to Rome
To grace IN captive bonds his chariot wheels
We all know how the imperial despot's
wretched prisoners we're made prominent
feature of the savage ovations by which his
victories were celebrated. Mark how the
times have changed. Our Caesar rejoices in
no tributaries purchased with tears and
blood. Holloway's laurels have not been
bought by human slaughter and desolated
homes. His triumphs have been triumphs
over disease and death; and his most Valua-
bic reward has been the prayers and blessings
of thousands of grateful hearts with whom
his name and fame have become household
words"
Cassius, though one of Caesars foes, ac-
knowedged his greatness when he said:
'Ye Gods, it doth amaze me how he should
So get the start OF this majestic world
And bear the palm alone ....
But what hollow greatness was Caesars
compared with Holloways. What cruel
end he had. lie lived by the sword, and
died by the sword. He was murdered by his
friends" Thus ended the career of the
greatest ruler of the greatest republic the old
world and the old times have ever had. But
here in this new world and in these later
times we have a republic CREATE, truer purer
than that OF Rome III her palmiest days.
And here, too we have new Caesar whose
deeds and fame will be commensurated with
its greatness, and whose claims to the admi-
ration and respect Of the world now and in
future times do not rest upon the number of
human beings he has slain or the desoation
lie has made, bat on the number of human
beings he has saved, and the blessings Of
health and happiness which he has bestowed
on humanity in the discovery Of his miracu
lous remedies Boston TrareLLer.
