such pain that had to let my fireman take
the engine. found after getting home that

vsed me to use Hunts Remedy, which we
had used before for other troubles. | sent to
BisselPs drug store for bottle, and after
using it short time the pains in my back
and kidneys were fast disappearing The sec
ond bottle cured mo completely, and can
most heartily recommend Hunts Remedy to

The Theory OF Advertising.
The Inter Ocean.


One of the most marked peculiartics OF
modern business is tho place newspapers oc-
cupy in the mechanism of trade. They are,
in very large measure, tho connecting link
between seller and buyer, and that through
their advertising columns. The Importance
of newspaper advertisements is rapidly in
creasing. Instead Of being haphazard sort
of thing it has been raised to the rank of ex-
act science, and that very largely through the
medium of newspaper advertising agencies
Ofthe numerous houses in this line of business
pro-eminenco is due to N. w. Aver g. Son, Of
Philadelphia. There is probably no other
concern of the kind in the world which does
so large business.
Tho orders received by their advertising
agency during the'thirty-nine days from Sept.
/, 1852 to Oct. o. 1883, amounted to $239, ,6i6.41.
1t requires the good will secured by years of
faithful intelligent, and judicious work to
reach high figures.
The truth is that N. w. Aver & Son under
stand and act upon the theory that whatever
ia worth doing ut all is worth doing we'll, and
no interest intrusted to them is allowed to
suffer from inattention. They know that in
order to hold and increase their business they
must place their advertisements where their
patrons will derive the most benefit. The
lilotdho olJSu llduSi uOI Only Dy aSeuClcs, Dub
by advertisers doing their own business, is to
get most space for the least money neglecting
the that supreme consideration ofall others,
the real value of the mediums used.
The secret Of tho success of N. w. Aver &
Son is the fact that they scrupulousy avoid
both the general scramble for business and the
too common fault Of such agencies of having
specialties which their own selfish interests
require that they should press upon adver-
tisers without regard to the actual interest Of
the advertisers themselves. Instead of such
short sighted and unfair methods they care
fully consider what mediums are best adapted
to the wants of each customer in other words,
what investment will yield to the largest re-
turn. To hold customers trade it is necces-
sary to show him by practical demonstration
that he gets the worth of his money, and it is
largely because of their success in this respect
that N. w. Aver 81 Son not only hold their
trade, but SO rapidly increase it from year to
wear,
