A, r. Stewart Career,

Mr.. Stewart commenced his career in
this country rs sch0ol-teacher, and af-
ter Il brief experience in that line start
ed small dry-goodS store in Broadway,
near Chambers Street, on what would
now be considered very small plan.
His prosperous career is known TO the
world. His business qualities will be
better appreciated, however, when it is
stated that in that first enterprise on
Broadway his capital was 1880 his
store twenty-five by thirty feet, and his
domcile n small room over the store,
which he occupied with his wife.
When Mr., Stewart died on the 10th
of April, 1876, his retail store, which
cost nearly $4,000, 600, occupied an en-
tire block and covered an area of two
and a quarter acres. 1t contains eight
floors, making total of eighteen acres
for business purposes. The combined
sales of the wholesale and retail estab-
lshment were about $4,000, zoos year,
and the expenses over S1,000,000. In
Mr. Stewards time he personally super
vised the different departments, and
maintained such direct control of his
subordinates that he could always dis
Germ the active and deserving employees
and reward them accordingly This
keen discernment will be better UNDER
stood when it is stated that his employ
es numbered nearly three thousand at
the time of his death. His Fourth Ave-
nue. store is the largest in the world in
the dry-goods business.

Dear Sir-My son has been cured OF Consump.
tion by the use OF your medicines, and wish to
give you an account OF his case. His sickness be.
gan with heavy cold, which soon brought on a
harsh, dry cough. This kept him awake nights
so much that he became very weak from loss Of
sleep. Then he had night sweats, with great loss
OF flesh, pain in his lungs and he frequently raised
bloody matter from them. He was obliged 10 give
up all work, and afterwards was confined 10 his
room and bed for a long time. He was advised
10 take cod liver oil, and did take several bottles,
but this seemed to take away what little appetite
he had, and make him worse generally
AT last, from reading in the papers Of the many
cures you had made 10 serious lung diseases, we
concluded TO give your medicines a trial. He took
the Pumonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic, and Man
drake Pills as you direct and believe that II is
due TO their use that my son is now alive and well
