BAD ADVERTISEMENTS.

Fort WAYNE, Jan. 80, 1876.
To the Editor ofkhe National Era:
Believing that it is not by your consent tina,
the columns of the Era are employed either
for deceptive advertisements, or to advanc,. the
sale of improper articles, call your attes .tion
to the following advertisement, which appears
in the issue of January oath, the last a, ticle
but one on the last page:
Wdnted-Five hundred young men, e act
as agents in business light, pleasant, and hon
Orable, at salary of 500 per month. For
further particulars in regard to business, Ell.
close postage stamp. Address .
Oh. B. CARTER, Haverhll, NR5."
Now, the reply which received in ans,,er to
mine, was a list of receipts for sundry PURPOSES.
or articles to manufacture on sending SIS, or
an agreement to supply receipts for sale 4 81
per 100, or to become an agent, and to receive
from the agent all he receives over SlGb per
month for their pay. This looks little like the
salary of 500 per month but still, cannot
see how it is to be realized, and so / thtik it
is decept'oe in appearance, at any rata for
aught know to the contrary, the receipt, NAV
be truly catuable. l should not have nStced
this to you, but from the fact that thesp was.
besides the above list of receipts, CAL en-.
closed, on one side of which was printed, 8 Mat
rimony made easy, or how to win lovet-' DIR.
Sampson will send, to any address, on Ne re-
ceipt of one dollar, postpaid, plain DIRECTIONS,
to enable ladies or gentlemen to win the -devo-
ted affections of as many of the opposite sex as
their hearts may desire. This may be ,aarm-
less, but fear, if true, might be MAJ s,..se of
to do great mischief. But on the opp sts side
was the following, which / fear is g, sdedly
bad. copy the whole of it: y
"Dr. Montgomery's Celebrated Di c4esry to
Prerem Pegndncy.-No person KIN Mig of
the existence of such discovery, and q. ats re
liability, will be without it for 81 % ! day.
The application is convenient and ha, ID lnss as

both, neatly printed, upon fine pasteb ord, at
live dollars per hundred. Address, pos Eaid,
"DR. CHARLES A. SAMPs.y,
drawer No. 4, Haverhill, Mss"
Now, / cannot help concluding tbs !. these
latter are mischievous; if they are moi, xshould
like to be convinced of the fact. As al ri. d.,
you perhaps can solve this problem. I have
frequently seen advertisements which tppear-
ed to carry humbug on their face; but ..;eeting
with this advertisement in the Ndtion0, Era,
judged it from that circumstance 70 orabiy.
and replied to the advertisement, but asye pro-
ceeded no farther yet. Yours, respee sf4 lily,
