IMPROVEMENTS IN BROADwAY-HELM-
BoLD's NEW DRUG STORE.-If the lordly
Secesh who were wont to promenade Broad
way in the Summer and Autumn, and who
so confidently predicted that grass would
commence growing in that thoroughfare so
soon as they decided to shake the dust off
their feet and stop shaking the dust out of
their pockets for our benefit, could just
take one glance back upon their old prom
enade. as many of them, we doubt not,
would be glad to do, they would discover
two things-tirst, how silly and self-con-
celted they were, and second, how easily
we can dowithout them. They would tind
changes in Broadway, to be sure, but in
stead of grass and weeds they would find
marble taking the place OF brick, iron the
place of wood, and all the evidences of i'm
provement and prosperity, instead of di-
lapidation and decay. Not the least among
the recent improvements that would strike
their attention would be the magnificent
new drug store and chemical warehouse
lately opened by the renowned Philadel-
phia pharmaceutist, Mr.. II. T. HELMBoLD,
at No. 594 Broadway, adjoining their old
favorite resort, the Metropolitan HOTEL
This establishment is just now. the lion
among the attractions Of Broadway, and
is daily and nightly drawing crowds to
witness its novelty and splendOr. If any
thing can make drugs palatable il is this.
and it would almost compensate one for
fit of sickness to know that the healing pre-
scriptions were to be compounded in such
gorgeous place. Mr., HELMBoLD has
leased the entire building, which is % feet
front, 235 feet deep, and stories high
The front half of the first floor is fitted up
for the retail department, and the remain
der is used for the wholesale business and
as laboratory for the preparation of the
various extracts which the name Of HELM
| BOLD has made so celebrated. The drug
store proper is unlike any other heretofore
| in the world. It would be a work of SUI
pererogation to give detailed description
of what everybody is fiocking to see for
himself, but it may not be amiss to men,
ton one novelty connected with the estab-
lishment-the reception room. Who ever
heard of a reception room in a drugstore
And yet, who has not wished while stand
ing, Frequently a long stand,l waiting for
his prescription to be prepared, that the
keepers of these shops had been con-
siderate enough to furnish more comforta-
BILE accommodations? HELMBoLD has sup
piled this desideratum in his new estab-
| lishment, and customers detained there
have but to step to the rear of the store
where they will find luxurious chairs, So
fas and lounges on which to recline, while
their feet rest upon the softest of velvet
carpeting. This feature is only in keeping
with the other novelties, and with the gen.
eral splendor of the establishment. Mr..
HELMBoLD, we understand, still continues
his large establishment in Philadelphia, OF
which the store just opened here is only a
branch made necessary by the extensive
| sale in this market OF the popular extracts
which bear his name.-N. 7. Daily Times,
