Well--Merited Success.

A gentleman once asked distinguish | ed dispensing druggist to explain the secret of the almost universal demand | for Dr. RiehmOnd's Samaritan Neryine. | He said that 1t was in fact genuine me- dicine-such a compound as every good physician would prescribe for the disease which it was adyei tised to cure. Of course it cost less than any druggist would charge for the same article SUD- piled on a physicians prescription, and besides, there was a saving of the doctors fee in addition. Moreover, ny buying the drugs in such enormous quantities, and having a perfect apparatus 'Or com pounding the mixture, he wss not only enabled to get better articles in the first place, but also to present the medicine in better form and at less price than the same preparation cOulu be possibly Ob- tained from any other source. Dr. Rich mond has devoted all his energies to the allevatIou of human suffering. With this end In view, and with his whole heart in his great labor foI the benefit of the afflicted, he has achieved marked and merited success. There can be no real success without true merit. That his success is real is evidenced by the fact that his reputation as man and physi- elan does not deteriOrate, and the fact that there is steadily increasing demand for his Samaritan Nervine proves that it is no nostrum, but reliable remedy. He | has repeatedly informed the public that | it is no patent has ever been asked for or obtained Neither does he advertise it as d cure-ail. There are hundreds of diseas- es that he acknowledges it will not cure. It may be urged that some of these diseas es are so widely different that it seems absurd to prescribe the same remedy. They may differ in symptoms, yet in char acter be precisely similar; and then we must take into consideration the fact that remedies may possess various pro- | perties. Thus, some medicines are both | tonic and alternative; others may be tonic and laxative, the properties differing ac- cording to the quantity administered snd the time and circumstances which de- mand its employments.
 l In the manufacture of any pharmaceuti- cal preparation the purity and strength of the materials used, and the requisite machinery to be employed, are among the chief essentials, The first is insured by purchasing the ingredients in large quantities, whereby the exercise of great CT care in selecting the materials can be afforded; and the second can only be ac- com plished wh ere the business is suff1- ciently extensive to warrant large out lay of capital in procuring chemical ap- I.aratus. These facts apply with special force to the manufacture of our medicines, their quality having been vastly improv- ed since the dem and has become so great as to require their manufacture in very large quantities.
 These ideas are not mere speculative remarks to mislead the reader, or to m- bue him with false views of the superiOri- ty of our medicines. While inspecting Dr. Richmond's establishment you would be surprised to See the admirable facili- ties, both chemical and mechanical, which he employs in the prosecution of his bus mess. Everything is arranged In the most systematic order, and while to the general observer there appears to be no room for Improvement, yet new appara- tus and mechanical applan ces are con- stantly being procured for the establish ment.
