Former generations lived in villages
and towns, thickly settled together,
where physicians were plenty and near
at hand. Now the people are widely

good and competent physicians can not
be had at all. They cannot visit patients
enough, many miles apart, to live by
their profession, nor can they carry
medicines enough with them on horse
back, for their requirements. Hence
the necessity has arisen for remedies

is done by advertising. Mark its extent
An advertisement, taking the run of the
newspapers with which we contract

such numbers that when piled upon

The circulars measured eniwise, reach
1894 miles, and these are matters of
mathematical certainty. Whatever the
estimation in which these publications
may be held here, they reach the fire

Not only over these western conti-

villages as large as this, which are not
familiar with the name you have cho-

Thus, gentlemen, have I strivcn in
