DR.. HelmbOld but few years ago was
famed throughout the whole civilized
world as probably the shreWdest business
man IN the line Of pharmacy the age has
/ yet produced. Mention Of his name viii
also recall to the minds of many the splen-
did establishments at Saratoga, Newport,
! Long Branch, BaltimOre, and many other
Eastern cities, Of which he was the owner.
The splendid parade, IN which the Doctors
/ SIX beautiful eduines Of the swiftest and
nimblest feet in the whole country formed
] the most prominent attraction, on The oc-
casiOn Of the celebration Of the peace iubi-
lee in New York city, between Germany
and the United States. in 1S71, viii also
bring into recollection. Owing to the bril-
\ liant history which Dr. HelmbOld has
made for himself, We suspected that he
was a silver-haired, tottering, broken
! down old man, but such is not the case.
He is as bright, as active, and as quick
Witted as ever. One can not be long in
conversation with the Doctor until he has
found that he is wonderfully versatile in
all lines Of thought, and very fluent in ex-
preston. A short biographical sketch Of
the Doctor seems Just now OppOrtune- He
was born in the city Of PHILADELPHIA In the
year 1881, and educated at the Central
High School Of the same citv. He after
ward graduated at the Philadelphia Col
lege Of Pharmacy, and on the occasion Of
his graduation at that institution wrote a
thesis on Extracts Of Buchu and Sarsa-
parilla, which drugs he afterwards brought
into such prominence. In 1913 he learned
the business Of pharmacy with George W.
Carpenter, and started up in that line for
p Tr1T 1870 tho
of Broad and Brown streets, Philadelphia,
where he carried on the business with such
wonderful success that he was soon COM
PEELED to move to a large i've story brown
stone building, No. $50 Chestnut street.
From that time he has met with every en-
and before be had attained
the age. Of thirty-fve he found himself pro
prietOr Of three Of the largest and most
handsome drug stores in America, and be
fore he reached forty he had handled
about S4O,OO0,OOO. The Doctor attributes
his almost incredible success to a liberal
use of printers ink, having paid upward of
So, 600, 900 to the press, one might say, of
the whole civilized world, for advertise
ments. His name has appeared in
LOCO journals in connection with extensive
which comprised those Of
the United States, South America, the
West India Islands, Canada, and the Old
World. BY the kind treatment which he
has received at the hands Of the press Of
Philadelphia, Baltimore, and other kin
ired cities throughoutthe Union, his con-
idence over the entire country viii soon
be restored. The great drugs which he has
50 much distinguished and brought to the
surface of the world, are the eEusets Of
BuchU and Sarsaparilla. These he first
discovered and brought to light their heal
ng properties. Before that time these
lrugs glutted the market in the inconve-
lient form Of leaves, and the only mode in
which they were administered as medicines
vas in teas The extracts are made in
7Ocuo. The Doctor deserves hepatr0nage
If the country, which undoubtedly be viii
.oon secure Cincinnati Times.
