A WEEK or two ago, Helmbold, the Drug.
gist, in New York, filled whole page OF the
Herald with advertisements concerning his
Extract of Buchu, which is speciality in
his business. The cost for each days pub
lication must have been at least three thou
sand dollars. Yesterday, full page of the
Tribune and Times was filled by him with
the same advertisement, at an equal, if not
greater cost, in each paper. Many persons,
no. conversant with the theory and practical
results of advertising will say this is use
less way of spending money. But Mr.. H. is
a man of large experience in this business,
and will tell you that for every dollar thus
invested he receives two, four and ten fold !;
in fact, that he could not do hundredth
part of the business he docs, if he did not
advertise. In this way, he makes himself,
his store, and his articles known, and creates
a demand and sale for them. From small
beginnings, he has thus built up stupen-
dous business, and made himself a million
aire. For years he has been an advertiser in
the Standard, to the extent of column, and
has always told us he found it profitable.

COdifcatiOn.

There are now before the British Parlia-
ment three short bills, framed by the Gov
ernment which will probably pass into the
statute book within the next fortnight. They
relate to the national debt and to bank note
forgery, and have been prepared, in conjunc-
tion with the Bank OF England, as part OF a
contemplated expurgation of the said stat
ute-book. BY the first of these bills between
three hundred and four hundred acts of
Parliament, from the time of William and
Mary down to the present time, will be swept
away. AS for the forgery of notes, whether
of national or private banks, such crime is
now almost unknown in England, though,
at one time, it was no unusual thing for half
dozen persons to be executed in front of
Newgate, in London, not alone for " forg-
ing," but also for uttering" limitations of
paper currency.
We notice this subject because it shows
that, however slowly, England is trying to
do something towards the codifcation of
her multitudinous laws. To supplant three
or four hundred obsolete statutes by single
short one is step in advance. The British
laws count not by hundreds, but by thous-
ands. 1t is to be borne in mind that there
were three distinct legislative bodies annual
ly at work in law making. First, from the
Norman conquest down to the present date,
for Southern Britain. Next, from the year
1895 to 1901, for Ireland. Lastly, from 1175
to the Union of England and Scotland in
1907. Thus, in three centuries, each having
its own Parliament, there was an immensity
of simultaneous law-making for five or six
hundred years. To this day laws passed by
the respective Parliaments of Ireland and
Scotland are in operation in those countries,
just as VIC have State laws in Pennsylvania
and Federal laws enacted in Washington by
the National Congress.
There has been a great deal of codifca-
tion since the Christian era began, and if we
include the Twelve Tables at Rome, even
earlier. There were the Theodosian, the
Justinian, and the Gothic codes. In France,
during the reign of Louis XIV, codifcation
was ably effected, but early in the present
century the ruling mind Of that eventful
period created that vast edi6ce known as
the Code Napoleon, which now constitutes
the jurisprudence of France, Holland, the
Hanse towns, the Rhemish provinces, Bel
gium, and Italy. Very little has been done
as yet towards effective codifcation in Eng
land, though Brougham and Peel labored
long and anxiously in that direction. 1t is
gratifying to see another step in advance

THE upaIN KuIEp -

The foreign and domestic demand for Perry
Davis & Sons great medicine-the Pain Killer
was never before SO large as it has been of late;
and we think the time has arrived when the de-
claration may be made, without the possibility
OF reiutation, that the city OF Providence, in the
State of Rhode Island, Of the United States OF
America, has furnished the entire habitable
globe with a medicine, which, in point of Uni.
versatility of demand, extent of usefulness, com
plcte efficiency for all the purposes for which it
is designed and wide spread, enduring populari
ty, has never been equalled by any medicine In
Europe or America.
The ani0erSality of the demand for the Pain
Killer, is a novel, interesting, and surprising
feature in the history of this medicine. Its " fame
has gone out" into every quarter of the habita-
BILE globe. The Pain Killer is now regularly sold
in large and steadily increaSimJ quantities, not
only to general agents in every State and Terri.
tory of the Union, and every Province of British
America, but to Buenos Ayres, Brazil, Uruguay,
Peru, Chill and other South American States to
the Sandwich Islands, to Cuba and other Wost
India Islands; to England and Continental Eu-
rope; to Mozambique, Madagascar, Zanzibar
and other African lands; Australia and Calcutta,
Rangoon and other places in India. Ithas also
been sent to China, and we doubt II there Is any
foreign port or any inland city in Africa or Asia,
which is frequented by American and European
missionaries, travellers or traders, into which
the Pain Killer has not been introduced and
been sought after.
Tie catsat Of lis ,;sefslaess is another, great
feature of this remarkable medicine. 1t is not
only the best thing ever known, as everybody
will confess, for bruises, cuts, burns, &C., but
for dysentery or cholera, or any sort of bowel
complaint it is a remedy unsurpassed for efh-
cheney and rapidity of action In the great cities
of British India, and in the West India Islands
and other hot climates, it has become the stand.
ard medicine for all such complaints, as well as
ordyspepsia, liver complaints and other kindred
disorders. For coughs and colds, canker asthma
and rheumatic difficulties, it has been proved by
the most abudiant and convincing trials and
testimony, to be an invaluable medicine. The
proprietors are in possession OF letters from
persons Of the highest character and respccta-
bility, testifying in unequivocal terms, 10 the
cures effected and tile satisfactory results pro-

Franco versus Prussia-A Novel Wager
Between Landlord and Tenant.
The approaching shock of arms between
the French and Prussians has given rise to
various predictions regarding the result,
even at this point SO remote from the field
Of combat. An indication Of this is afford
yesterday: -a-i--i 4 ~ y
Mr.. Longuemore is Frenchman and owns
a store at No. 1900 Broadway. which he has
rented for three years at 81 800 per year. As
the lease will expire in few weeks he ma
turally became anxious to know if the Ger
mans who held the lease would be willing
to rent it for longer period at former rates.
The party declined paying the old price,
saving it was too much, while on the other
hand Mr.. Longuemore refused to make any
reduction. At length the lessees made a
proposition to the landlord that if the Prus-
slams whipped the French they would pay
$3.50 less than before, or $1,65O, but if the
French were victorious they would pay 81,
800 rent. Mr.. Longuemore responded
Gentlemen, the proposition is not fair; il
the Prussians whip the French will give
YOU my store for 81, 500 rental per year, but
it the French win the rent must be 81 800 as
usual" The latter proposal was agreed to
and the contract accordingly, was drawn
up yesterday. Both parties, it appears, art
| equally confident as to the result of this
novel wager 81. Louis Republican, July 30
