The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1882-05-30

A gentleman once ask d a distin-
guished dispensing druggist to explain
the secret of the almost universal de-
mand for DIR. Richmond's Samaritan
Nervine. He said that it was i'm fact
a genuine medicine-such a compound
as every good physician would prescribe
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 PHYSICIANS pre-
scriptiOn, and besides, there was q saw
ing of the DOCTORS fee in addition.
Moreover, by buying the drugs in such
enormous quantities, and having per-
feet apparatus for compromising the
mixture, he was not only enabled to
get better articles i'm 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 allie
Walton of human suffering. With this
end i'm view, and with his whole heart
i'm 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 q man and
physician does not deteriOrate, and the
fact that there is a steadily increasing
demand for his Samaritan Nervine
proves that 1t is no nOstrum, but q re-
liable remedy. He has repeatedly in
formed the public that it is no patent
medicine, and no patent has ever been
asked for or obtained. Neither does he
advertise it as cure-all. 1t may be
urged that some of these diseases are 50
widely different that il 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 consideration the fact that remedies
may possess various properties. Thus,
some medicines are both tonic and al
terative; others may be tonic and
laxative, the properties differing accord
ing to the quantity administered and
the time and circumstances which de.
mand its employment.
In the manufacture of any phar-
maceutical preparation the purity and
strength of the materials used, and the
requisite machinery to be employed, are
among the chief essentials. The firm
is insured by purchasing heterogeneous
in large quantities, whereby the exercise
of greater care in selecting the materials
can be afforded and the second can
only be accomplished where the BUSH
ness is sufficiently extensive to warrant
large outlay of cap ital i'm procuring
chemical apparatus. These facts apply
with especial force to the manufacture
of our medicines, their quality having
been vastly improved since the demand
has become SD great as to require their
manufacture i'm very large quantities.
These ideas are not mere speculative
remarks to mislead the reader, or to
Undue him with false views of the
of our medicines. While
inspecting DIR. RichmOnd's establish
ment you would be surprised to see the
facilities, both chemical and
which he employs i'm the
of his business. Everything
is arranged i'm the most perfect system
attic order, and while to the general OBJ
server there appears to be no room for
yet new apparatus and
appliances are constantly
being procured for the establishment
