We have no doubt he will give full infor-

The Sure Road to Fame and Fortune.
We take lit be demon trable fact that
no discovery or invention worth adver-
tising at all can be advertised too exten
sively. The man whose mental vision is
darkened by miserly instincts, whose soul
lies in his breeches pocket, cannot under
stand this; and if such an one in his mole
like groupings, should chance upon some
new and useful truth, he would be afraid
to take the sure road to celebrity, which
lies through the columns Of the press, lest
he should be ruined by the tolls. What
contrast does the brilliant and beneficial
career of Prof Holloway present to the
blind stupidity of such a man. Having
perfected, after many years of laborious
research and experiment, two remedies
which he knew, with positive certainty,
were absolute specifics for nearly every
internal and external malady incident to
humanity, he determined at once to give
them wider publicity than any other
medicine had ever attained. His motive
was noble and benevolent. lie felt that
he possessed the power of mitigating suf-
fering and waging successful war with
disease heretofore unconquerable, and like
good champion he fearlessly entered the
lists. Had he been moved by avarice
instead of philanthropy he could not have
taken surer or shorter path to wealth.
The plan of advertising preparations,
which actually accomplished all that en-
piricism had ever promised or medical
orthodoxy attempted, of course proved
self remunerative. He flooded every ma
ton with his advertisements, he peryaded
the whole world with his medicines, and
the world repaid him with shower of
gold We verify believe that there is no
possible means of disseminating informa-
ton among men that he has not adopted
in giving notoriety to his Pills and Oint-
ment.
The Hon. Mahlon Dickensen, of New
Jersey, once satirically likened the poles
to big Aagstaffs, and we have little doubt
that if they acere iagstaffs Holloway would
contrive to have bit of bunting nailed
to each with his name and address in
scribed upon it, In fact, such is the en-
terprise and irrepressible energy of the
man, that we should scarcely be surprised
to hear of the virtues of his medicines
being inscribed on the desert sands Of
mid Africa or traced in the eternal snow
that caps the peaks of the Andes. His
central office for this hemisphere Che maps
out his advertising ground by hemispheres)
$50 Maiden Lane, has only been establish
ed about two years, and yet probably
there are not FIVE hundred adults out Of
our population of thirty millions who have
mot heard of Holloway's Pills and Oint-
ment. Be this as it may, it is a statisti-
cal fact, verified by the books of the estab-
lishmenr, that more than half million of
persons have within that time purchased
the preparations at the New York Office
and its Country Agencies. Could the
amount of good they have effected in that
period, in the United States alone, be
computed and placed on record, it would
of itself form one Of the proudest monu-
ments of success to which Jealous philan-
thropy on the one hand and popular ap-
preciation on the other, have ever con-
tributed.-N. Y Day Book.
