Well.Merite.l Success,

4 gentleman once asked a distinguished
dispensing druggist TO explain the secret OF
the almost universal demand for Dr.. Rich
monds Samaritan Nervine. He said that it
was in fact q genuine medicine-such com.
pound as 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 on physicians prescription, and be-
sides, there was saving OF the doctors fee
in addition. Moreover, by buying the drugs
in such enormous quantities, and having q
perfect apparrtns for compromising the mix.
lure, 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
alleriation..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 and mcrited success. There
can be no real success without true merit.
Thathis success is real isevidenced BY the fact
that his reputation as man and physician
does not deter!orate, and the fact that there
is steadily increasing demand for his Sa-
naratan Nervine proves thatit is no nostrum,
but reliable remedy. He has repeatedly In.
formed the public that /. is no patent metii
cine, and 10 patent has ever been asked 10,
or obtained. Neither does he advertise 1t as
cu5e.all. There are hundreds OF diseases
that he Acknowledges it will not cure. 1t mag
be urged that some OF these diseases are SC
widely different that 1t seems absurd to pre-
scribe the same remedy. They may differ ir

In the manufacture OF any pharmaceutical
PREPARATION the purity aad strength OF tn
materials used, and the requisite machiner,
to be employed, are among the chief essen
tials. The first Is insured by purchasing III
ingredients in large quantities, whereby tn
exercise OF greater care in selecting the ms
terials can be afforded; and the second chi
only be accomplished where the business /
sufficiently extensive to warrant a large out
lay Of capital In procuring chemical appars
tus. These facts apply with especial force /,
the manufacture OF our medicines, thei
quality having been vastly improved since tn
demand has become so great as to reauir
their manufacture in very large quanti,ie.
These ideas are not mere speculative =,

with false views Of the superiority OF or

the admirable facilities, both chemical an

in the most perfectly systematic order, an
while to the general observer there seems
be no room for improvement yet new app
ratus and mechanical appliance are constan
