WeII.Merited Success.

A gentleman once asked a distin-
guished dispensing druggist to explain
the secret of the almost universal de-
mand for DR.. Richmond's Samaritan
Nervine. He said that it was in fact a
genuine medicine-such compound
as every good physician would pre-
scribe for the disease which it was
advertised to cure. Of course it cost
less than any druggist would charge
for the same article supplied on a
physicians prescription, and besides,
there was a saving Of the doctors fee
in addition. Moreover, by buying the
drugs in such enormous quantities,
and having a perfect apparatus for
compounding the mixture, he was 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 could
be possibly obtained from any other
source. DIR. Richmond has devoted
all his energies to the alleviation of
human suffering. With this end in
view, and with his whole heart in his
great labor for the benefit of the
afflicted, he has achieved marked aud
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 a steadily increasing
demand for his Samaritan Nervine
proves that it is no nostrum, but a
reliable remedy. He has repeatedly
informed the public that it is no
patent medicine, and no patent has
ever been asked for or obtained
Neithes does he advertise it as a cure
all. Thereare hundreds Of diseases that
he acknowledgment willnot cure. Itmay
be urged that some Of these diseases
are so widely different that it seems
absurd to prescribe the same remedy
They may differ in symptoms, yet in
character be precisely similar; and
then we must take into consideration
the fact that remedies may possess
various properties. THUS, some med.
lcines are both tonic and Alternative
others may be tonic and laxative, the
properties differing according to the
quantity administered and the time
and circumstances which demand it,
employment.
In the manufacture of any pharma.
ceutical preparation the purity snd
strength of the materials used. anc
the requisite machinery to be EN-.
ployed, are among the chief essentials
The FIRST is insured by purchasing tho
ingredients in large quantities, where
by the exercise Of greater care in Sc
lecting the materials can be afforded
and the second can only be accom-
phshed where the business is suff
GENTLY extensive to warrant larg,
outlay Of capital in procuring chemi
cal apparatus. These facts apply will
especial force to the manufacture O
our medicine, their quality havinl
been vastlyimproved since the demant
has become SO great as to require thei
manufacture in very large quantities
These ideas are not mere speculativ
remarks 20 mislead the reader, or /
Undue him with false views Of tn
superiority of our medicines. Will
inspecting DR.. Richmond's establish
ment you would be surprised to Sc
the admirable facilities, both chemic,
and mechanical, which he employs i
the prosecution of his business
Everything is arranged in the mo,
perfectly systematic order, and Will
,, to the general observer there appear
. to be no room for improvement, y,
. new apparatus and mechanical appl
! ances are constantly being procure
for the establishment.
