II. r. STEVENS: Dear Sir-In expressing my

VEGETINE, and TO benefit others. will stated
When eight or nine years old 1 was afflicted with
Scrofula. which made its appearance in my eyes, face
and head, and was very near blind for two years.
All kinds of operations performed on my eyes,
and all to no good result. Finally the disease princ
pally settled in my body, limbs and feet and at times
in an aggravated way.
Last sum ner | was, from some cause, weak in my
spine and kidneys, and it at times very hard to
retain the urine Seeing your advertisement in the
Commercial, l bought bottle of VEGETINE, and
commenced using according to directions. In two or
three days obtained great lelief After using four
or five bottles noticed it had wonderful effect on
the rough, scaly bl0tches on my body and legs.
still used VEGETINE and the humorous sores one af
ter another disappeared until they were all gone, and
and nothing else,
If ! am ever affected with anything iot the kind
again shall try VEoETINE as the only reliable rem

fixed, the next is TO ascertain the Journal
which has the widest and best circulation.
Let him then prepare his advertisement,
putting It into the most attractive shape,
and if he needs any assistance it can be OBJ
tanned at the publication Office. Writing
advertisements is an art in which some
men excel, and there are those in this city
who make it a speciality. Change the
matter frequently, because shooting stars,
though small, attract more attention than
planets or consultations. ArOcket makes
a sensation, and there is a rocket adyertis-
ing which always tells Advertisements
have wrought wonders. In the patent
medicine business they made Sarsaparilla
Townsend and Buchu Helmbold rich.
They walked into wealth with astonishing
rapidity by a judicious and liberal use of
the proper method. 1t is pity they did
not know how to keep their money.
Other instances of the same kind might
be referred to. Many valuable inven-
ton, and many deserving book has per
ished for lack of advertising. Many 4
young merchant has been dwarfed in de-
velopment, and finally extinguished for
lack of that notice which the papers would
have furnished. 1t might have been eco
nomy, but such economy is a species of
suicide. Better to go hungry for while
than starve your business.
The public loves the cheerful advertiser.
The public wants sympathy and assist
ance. Almost everybody is in trouble,
and is looking for friendship. Goldsmith
got off q severe sarcasm on society when
he made his hermit say, Man wants but
little here below" etc. There is another
hermit who takes a different position.
Our wants are legion, and people gene
rally turn to the newspaper TO find relief.
Who is the friend to whom the public so
readily applies? 1t is the cheerful adver-
tiser-the man who opens his heart in n
and welcomes you to all that
his talents and capital can furnish. Who
sells at the cheapest rate? Who has the
latest patterns ? Who has a new book to
sell? Who has invented another Yankee
notion? Who can correct our failing
health? etc. The reply is found in the
cheerful advertiser. This man, while re-
lieving human misery, will, like other
philanthropists, become happy, and he
will find that his efforts viii bring green
backs as well as gratitude. Such are the
men of noble destiny whose success has so
often been noticed.-Nelo York Letter to |
Troy Times.
