ADVERTISING

There are a great many points IN com
mercial or trade matters as to which the
average British manufacturer would be
willing to admit the decided superiority
of American concerns, says an English
journal In few respects the mannfact-
urers of The United States are cheeTfully
admitted to he abreast Of the best prac
tice we can show in the same line, and
IN two or three items our cousins across
the Atlantic are undoubtedly moving
ahead. In one department only do we
on this side concede the unmistakable
and pronounced superiority of the gen
tlemen on the other side of the water.
That department is advertising, which in
the United States has been developed and
systcmatized to an extent almost unknown
with us. There are individual advertis
ers in this country, it Is true, whose eX-
epdture is greater than that Of any
American house, yet taken as u whole
the art of advertising is more cultivated
AID more successfully tudied I'M The States
than in the country, The American peo-
pie are thorough believers in the efficiency
and necessity of advertising and their
practice fully and completely vindicates
all the theories they enunciate on the
subject. They look upon suitable an
nouncements of this class as being indis
pensable, and no business is started or
continued without liberal allowance for
advertising Xpenses-Neithcr their mod
esty nor experience ever limits this ex-
penditure, which they know to be produc
tive of the best results when properly
and systematically regulated.

brought into CompeIition with lhSf cfiu,
the Best Carries of the Honors.
At the great Centennial Exhibition of 1875, the
leading products of all the branches of the Worlds
industry were assembled at Philsdelphi. To carry
of a prize in the face of that tremendous compe-
tition was task Of no ordinary difficulty. Iuven.
tions and preparations for the alienation OF pain
and the cure of disease were present in the great
est possible variety, representing the skill and
profoundest study or the age, and 1t may be Of
vital Importance 10 you, personally to Know that
the highest and only medal given TO rubber Po
rous plasters. was awarded to the manufacturers
of BENsoN'S POROUS PLASTER, by the fol
lowing jury:
DIR. VIM. RoTH, Surgeon General, Prussian Army.
J. Fl. THOMPSON, A. NJ, NJ D., Washington, pc.
c, WHITE, M. D., New Orleans
ERNEST FI.EIsCH, NJ. d, Austria.
The decision was afterwards confirmed by the
medical jury at the last Paris Exposition. Know
ing the valne of such high and unbiased testimony
the medical profession, both in the United States
and in Europe qaickly threw aside the old, slow
acting plasters they had been using, and adopted
Benson's in their regular practice. That physi-
clans and surgeons of the broadest reputation did
this, distinctly proves the intrinsic merit of the
article
II is no more than just to add that the average
physician of to-day is not dominated by the pref
udices which retarded the progress and modified
the successes of his predecessors Of not more
than twenty-five years ago. He accepts hints
from all quarters and endorses and adopts demon
strated healing agents wherever ne finds them.
