WHAT LEARNED AT DIR. BRANDRETH's.
Almost every man whose life is or has
been q failure is quick to sneer at success
in others as an accident or 'fooPs luck. F"
Last week l saw promising study for this
class of sickly eynics. Probably no bust
ness is SO generally believed to be founded
on pure luck as the manufacture Of pills
and plasters; yet this was the subject of
my study, and it taught me lesson which
it were well for many another man to
learn,
Selecting Brandeth's Pills and Allcock's
Plasters as my study, went to Sing Sing
to learn, if could, the secret of their com
mercial success. A hundred men and
women are engaged in their manufacture;
$50 to 300 pounds Of pills are made up
daily one piece Of machinery alone
rolls out
THREE MILES OF POROUS PLASTER
a yard wide, every week. The Government
has received over 5000, 600 for revenue
stamp upon these products. The Brand
reth Works are an undeniable success.
Now why? Did DR.. Brandreth stumble
over lucky accident and pick up fortune?
Not at all.
ManyIyears ago his medical experience
satisfied him that the great secret of health
is good blood-that 'tEe blood is the life. 5"
After years of patient study and expert
ment, he made the compound bearing his
name now so widely used over the world.
II is purely vegetable, and its great Office
is to eXpel all impurities from the blood
and thus render ordinary disease impossi-
bic. 1t proved last year, when taken in
time, a certain preventive Of that fearful
scourge, yellow fever. Slowly but surely
it won its way, as it did its work of healing,
till the business grew to its present i'm
mense proportions. Yet, to-day, this
wealthy doctor and his son personally mix
every ounce of drugs used in the pills; they
weigh out the ingredients upon a huge
marble table, and perform themselves the
manual labor of mixing them thoroughly
together before they pass into the factory
to be rolled, dried, counted, packed and
labelled. Likewise every strip of porous
plaster is spread under the personal super
vision Of Col. Brandreth or the General
Superintendent. Every part of the factory
buildings is kept with a surprising and i'm
msculate neatneSs. l have seen many
workshops, but never saw such scTupulous
purity Of floor, shelf, table and counter.
Every girl is required to be as neat and
tidy as feminine ingenuity and taste can
make her-and every hand, male or female,
receives as high wages as during the
Flush" times of ten years ago. Every i'm
plement Of her work shines and glistens in
its cleanliness and purity, and
NO HUMAN FINGER
touches Brandreth pill in the whole of its
manufacture. Even the counting and box
ing are done by a shining little metal in-
The rooms are light and pleas
ant, not a speck of dirt or refuse lies on
the polished, slippery floors, and between
the windows hang paintings, Autographs,
engravings, chromos and notices by the
score, giving a most attractive cheerful as
pect to the whole.
Now do you wonder success follows such
management? Dare any grumbler at his
own lucklesS fate call the success which
follows such conditions an accident? The
lesson is a valuable one to men impatient
Of the tardiness of life's success. Few men
ever struck the royal road to fortune; but
almost any man can win an honorable
competency by doing or discovering some
thing Of real value to his fellow men, and
then carrying a cool but busy head, an hon
est heart, and a considerate energy into his
chosen work. MORLEY.
