In Offering this new-yet world-old
remedy to the public, it is not like
bringing out an untried remedy. For
over twenty-five years it has been put
to the severest test of experience.
Fully understanding its ingredients,
DR.. r. F. is prepared to say that not
only will no injurious results follow,
but that absolute success must ensue.
He has never known it to fail to eth
er relieve or cure the disease for which
it was taken. He has letters from all
parts of Great Britain and Ireland,
Germany, France, Belgium, Holland,
Spain, Portugal, Italy, Russia, Tur-
key, and Greece, from those that have
been cured of different complaints,
which he will be proud to show to
any one who desires to see them. Con-

1t was really amazing to see how
my door was besieged with persons
desirous Of having dust thrown in
their eyes after this advertisement had
circulated. Money poured in. | was
engaged in blowing dust into the eyes
of my patients all day and till late at
night 10 p. M. was too late to re-
ceive; p m. too late to knock off
work. Patients of all classes came to
me. Some paid guineas, some half
guineas, most fve-and-sixpence. |
was now easy as to my future; it was
secured. I.was secured a week after
I had trampled on Tommy.
AS time passed, and I found that I
had more patients than I could attend
to, [ extended my operations. [ ad-
vertised in every country paper | could
hear Of. spent hundreds of pounds
in advertisements, and every hundred
| spent thus, brought me in ten per
cent-that is, thousand pounds. Of
course could not attend to all who
sought an interview. [ therefore did
up little parcels Of dust in blue, red,
and gold paper. | had them stamped
as quack medicines, and sold them at
2s. I'D. per packet. The injector I
sold separate at Sc.
But even this did not satisfy me. |
announced that [ would give away a
packet to every one who would apply
to me gratis. [ put this advertise
ment in something like three hundred
newspapers, and the result was that
applications poured in to me from ev-
cry quarter.
I am afraid to say how many thou
sand packets of common road-dust [
thus distributed free of charge. With
each packet | enclosed a printed form,
to the effect that though the powder
was given gratis, yet the necessary
apparatus for its injection into the
eyes could not be given away without
a small charge of five, shlllings to
cover the outlay Of its manufacture.
These little squirts of glass and india
rubber cost me three-halfpence each,
Of the manufacturer. | knew that l
sold 5000 of them, which alone
brought in 1900, less their cost, which
was e22, 1Os.; so that the net profit I
made was e977, los. After that had
numerous orders for packets Of eye
dust. On an average | sold five to
each syringe; and that, at Is. 1 I'D.
each, amounted to e1912, los. By
visits and personal attendance on cases
I made as much as e25 per week, or
