1t IL now about three months since you sent
me package Of your Ssmaritan's GIFT for my
trL lble (althou h had 20 confidence In 1t
when sent 1t, as had tried SO many
different cures and doctors that l gave up
hope of being cured at ALL but 1t cured me
in about Ave days. would have written
sooner to inform you but thought had better
walt to see that 1t did not break out again or
leave any i'll effect after so quick cure but
/ can now state without fear of contradiction
so far that 1t has not left any Of the il.effects
that medical men so urgently impress upon
the minds Of their patients OF too quick a
cure. Thanking you for your promptness In
sending the Gift, remain yours
The above letter explains itself. 1t shows
that the Samaritan's Git is positive cure
for any case OF gonorrhea in q short time.

erous heart. with q view to benefit others
similarly situated.

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
Our Advertis.ng Rates.

There is one thing that many we'll
meaning people cannot properly under
stand in regard to advertising. They
cannot see why one local paper should
charge little more than another local
paper In the same city. They never
seem to think that there is q possibility
of one paper having more circulation
than another, and that, consequently,
~ worth'to the advertiser more than the
differences in the price. Owing to this
several persons have come to the Re-
PUBLICAN Office and complained that we
charged more for advertising than other
local papers, but they seem to forget
that the REPUBLICAN, has double the cir
culation of the next highest paper pub
lished in the city, and three times the
circulation of either Of the other two
papers.
II charges for advertising were made
in proportion to the local circulation OF
the papers published in Wilmington,
the charges would be something like
this proportionstely: Gazette, sl.25 );
Morning News, s1.5o; Every Evening,
$3.50 and REPUBLICAN $500. These
amounts are based upon the calcula-
ton that the Gazette has 1900 circula'
ton, the News 1000, the Every Even
ing 5000 and the REPUBLICAN $500.
With the exception Of the REPUBLICAN,
the circulation Of which we know to q
certainty, that Of the other papers may
vary somewhat from our estimate, but
not more than 200 or 300, and are more
likely to get under the numbers We
have named than over. Should there
be any dispute upon this subject our
press rooms, our books and all else con-
nected with our Office are open for in
vestigation in any manner which may
be determined upon.
We hope our readers and patrons will
see now why our rates for advertising
may be a trifs higher than that o.
other local papers, but they at the same
time cannot help but see that an ad'
vertissment in the REPUBLICAN is wortt
much more than the difference II
the rates charged. Notwithstanding al
this we believe the transient rates fol
advertisements in all the city papers
are the same six cents line for tht
first insertion and three cents line fol
every subsequent insertion. 1t will b.
seen from the foregoing that the rstel
of advertising in the REPUBLICAN, tax
ing circulation into consideration, is a
least fifty per cent. cheaper than in an!
other daily paper published in the city
We de rot take advantage Of our larg
circulation to make exorbitant charge
but we admit tina t on permanent advel
tisements a small advance on the price
paid in the other papers is asked. /
doing this we think no reasonable bus
ness man can find objection, and "
deem it eminently right and props
that We should make the foregoing 81

in sizs aud weight alike-the normal proper

ton and memory arc taxed to slight degree
only.
with decreasing years, the gray ubstaucs
bec1ming more and more developed, their
thiokiDe powers are gradually evolved. The
cres of a thorough education lies in the uniform
development of all powers. To develop one at
he expense OF the others, is to cripple all.
