gentleman once asked distinguished
dispensing druggist to explain the secret of
the almost universal demand for DR., Rich
hfonds Samaritan Nervine. He said that it
was in fact genuine medicine-such COM

TO cure. Ot course it cost less than any drug

cd ona 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 eompoanding the mix.
Iure, 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

and with his whole 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 hissuccess is real is evidenced by the fact
that his reputation as man and physician
does not deteriorate, and the fact that there
IS steadily Increasing demand for bis Sa-
maratan Nervine proves that it is no nostrum,
but reliable remedy. He has repeatedly in
formed the public that 1t is no patent medi-
cine, and no patent has ever been asked for
or obtained. Neither does he advertise it as
u cure-Rll. There are hundreds OF diseases
that he Acknowledges 1t will not cure. Itmay
be urged that some of these diseases are so
widely different that 1t seems absurd to pre-.
scribe the same remedy. They may differ in
symptoms, yet in character be precisely sim.

ttou the fact that remedies may possess vari-

both tonic and Alternative; Others may be
tonic and laxative, the properties differing

In the manufacture OF any pharmaceu-
teal preparation the purity and strength Of
the materials used, and the requisite ma
chinery to be employed, are among the chief
essentials. The trst is insured by purchasing
the ingredients 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 business is
sufficiently extensive TO warrant large out
! lay OF capital in procuring chemical appa-
ratuS. These facts apply with especial force
to the manufacture OF our medicines, their
quality having been vastly improved since
the demand has become 50 great as to require
their manufacture in very large quantities.
These ideas are not mere speCu alive 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 be surprised
to see the admirable facilities, both chemical
and mechanical, which he employs In the
prosecution Of his business. Everything is
arranged In the most perfectly systematic
order, and while TO the general observer
there appears to be no room for improve
ment, yet new apparatus and mechanical ap-
planes are constantly being procured ioE
