Wetl.Meritetf Success,

A gentleman once asked distinguished
dispensing druggist TO explain the secret OF
the almost universal demand for Dir. Rich.
monds Samaritan Nervine. lie said that 1t
was in fact q genuine medcne-such com.
pound MS every good physician would pre-.
scribe for the diseases which it was advertised
to cure. OF course It cost less than any drug.
gist would charge for the same article sup
piled en- PHYSICIANS prescription, and be-.
sides, there was u saving OF the doctors fee
in addition. Moreover by buying The drugs
in such enormous quantities, and having a
perfect apparatus for compromising the mix.
ture, 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. Dr.. Rich
mond has devoted all his energies to the
alleyiationof human suffering. With this end
in view, and with his whole heart Ia his great
labor for the benefit Of the afflicted, he has
achieved marked and mcrited success. There
can be no real success without true merit.
That his success is real is evidenced by the fact
that his reputation IS Il itan and physician
does not deteriorate, and the fact that there
is 4 steadily increasing demand for his Sd
maratan Nervine proves that it is no ostrum.
but reliable remedy. He has repeatedly in.
formed the public that it is ito patent niedt
cine and 40 patent has ever been asked for
or obtained. Neither does he advertise it as
/ cure-all. There are hundreds OF diseases
that he acknowledges it will not cure. 1t may
be urged that SOME OF these diseases are SO
widely different that it seems absurd to pre-
scribe the same remedy. They may differ in
symptoms, yet in character be precisely sim.
liar; and then We must take into considera-
ton the fact that remedies may possess vari-
Gus properties. Thus, some medicines 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
its employment.
In the manufacture OF any pharmaceutical
PREPARATION the purity and strength OF the
materials used, and the requisite machinery
TO be employed, are among the chief essen
,ials. The first is insured by purchasing the
ingredients in large quantities, whereby the
exercise OF greater care in selecting the ma.
terials can be afforded; and the second can
only be accomplished where the business is
sufficiently extensive to warrant large out.
lay OF capital in procuring chemical appara.
tus. These facts apply with especial force TO
the manufacture OF our medicines, their
quality having been vastly improved since the
demand has become so great as to require
their manufacture in very large quantities.
These ideas are not mere speculative re-
marks to mslead the reader, or TO Undue him
with false views OF the superiority of our
medicine. While inspecting Dr. Richmond's
establishment you would be surprised 10 see
the admirable facilities, both chemical and
mechanical, which he employs in the prose-
cutiOn OF his business. Everything is arranged
in the mos, perfectly systematic order, and
while to The general observer there seems 10
be no room for improvement. yet new appa-
ratus and mechanical appliance are constant
