WelI-Merited Success.

n gentleman once asked distinguished
dispensing druggist to explain the secret OF
the almost universal demand for Dr. Rlch-
mond's Samaritan Neryine. He said that
it was in fact genuine medicine-such a
compound as every good physician would
prescribe for the disease it was advertised
TO cure. OF course il cost less than any
druggist would charge for the same article
supplied on physician prescription, and
besides there was a saving OF the doctor
fee in addition. Moreover, by buying the
drugs in such enormous quantities, and
having perfect apparatus for compound.
ing the mixture, he was not only enabled
to get better articles i'll the first place, but
also TO present the medicine in better form
and at less price than the same preparation
could be possibly obtained from any other
source DR.. Richmond has devoted all his
energies to the elevation OF human
suffering. With i.:s end in view
and with his who.c heart in his great
labor for 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 physician does not deteriorate, and the
fact that there is O steadily increasing de-
mand for his Samaritan Nervine proves
that il is no nostrum, but reliable remedy
He has repeatedly informed the public
that it is no patent medicine, and no patent
has been asked for or obtained. Neither
does he advertise it as a cure-all. There
are hundreds of diseases that he acknowl-
edges il will not cure. 1t may be urged
that some of these diseases are so widely
di tlerent that it seems absurd TO prescribe
the same remedy. They may differ in
symptoms, yet i'll character be precisely
similar; and then we must take into con-
sidcration the fact that remedies may pos
sess various properties. Thus, some medi'
Cines are both tonic and Alternative; others
NAV be tonic and laxative, the properties
differing according to the quantity admin
iStered and the time and circumstances
which demand its employment.
In the manufacture of any pharmaCuti-
cal preparation the purity and strength OF
the materials used, and the requisite ma
chinery TO be employed are among the chief
essentials. The first is insured by pur-
chasing the ingredients in large quantities,
whereby the exercise OF greater care IN Sc
leCting the materials can he afforded; and
the second can only be accomplished where
the business is sufficiently extensive TO
warrant large outlay of capital in procur-
ing chemical apparatus. These facts apply
with special force to the manufacture ot
our medicines their quality having been
vastly improved slHC' tiie NE''i'"" H'o "
come so great as to require their manufac-
Iure in very large quantities.
These ideas are not mere speculative re-
marks to mislead the reader or to Undue
him with false views OF the superiority OF
our medicines. While inspecting Dr. Rich
mond's establishment you would he sur
prised to see the admirable facilities, both
chemical and mechanical, which he employs
in the prosecution of his business. Every
thing is arranged in the most perfectly sys-
tematic order, and while to the general OBJ
server there appears TO he no room for i'm
provement, yet new apparatus and mechan::
iCal appliances are constantly being procured
for the establishment.
