The Arkansaw traveler., 1884-12-06

New York business agent, Mir. A. F.. Richardson, which explains the condition of affairs:
 NEW YORK, Nov, I2, I8s4.
 PH6Hshey of Peck1 Sas Please suspend at once the advertisement of -'s Remedy. as they are of the opinion that the times will not warrant them in continuing at present. We are in receipt of the following;
 -, October 30, 1884.
 Dedy Sir It is my opinion and firm con viction that from returns that have from all uarters of the country, in connection with the present depressed condition of business, that it will be unwise to continue the adver- Using of-'s Remedy for the present, but that the same be deferred and stand null, until such time as the financial condition of the country will admit of our resuming.
 Very ttuly yours,
 This you see is conclusive, and the best thing we can do is to suspend the advertise ment for awhile.
 Respectfully yours,
 A. F. RICHARDSON.
 The letter was shown to the bald headed editor, who wiped away tear on his coat tail, run his fingers through the two hairs that still remain on his head, and chunk" He could see that if an impression that business was ruined should be allowed to exist, that business would be ruined, and that if the financial condition of the country would not admit of patent medicine firm advertising its goods, the very deuce would be to pay, so he wrote the following letter to the New York agent:
 SUN OFFICE, Milwaukee, Nov. IA
 Deay Richayd Your lettc: ordering Il Al ! 1 D l.. continued, on account of the financial condition of the country, is received. l have toe much patriotism to discontinue that ad. without a protest. Not that care particularly for the five hundred dollars that would lose, but don't want to see such an example set before the business men of the country. You want to go and see the boss of the patent med icine company, and show to hip that he is all wrong. He seems to think because the presidential question is being monk eyed with, and business is taking little needed rest, that nobodyis going to have any more liver complaint. He was never more mistaken in his life. can show him, by statistics that defy any man on earth to gainsay, that liver complaint is going to b we the biggest kind of run this season. Some of our best citizens are going to have it, and have it bad. see that his remedy is advertised to cure diabetes and Bnght's disease. Does he think, poor man, that because the crop of wheat has become choked in the elevators of this land, and does not move, owing to the tying up of money temporarily on account of the uncer- tainty of tue result on president, that the-eis going to be no more diabetes and Brghts disease of the kidneys? Does he think that people afflicted with such diseases can remove the diseases as they would their overshoes, and that owing to the excitement of politics they are going to quit taking medicine Why, they take more medicine when under excite ment. They have to have 1t. This patent medicine man, no doubt, regrets that business is at stand still, but he is taking the very course to make it worse His medicine is alleged to cure pain in the back. Does he expect that men are going to stop having pains in the back because some iron foundry has laid up for the winter, or if he knows people are going to have pains in the back, does he expect they are going to endure the pain until he resumes his advertising in the SNn No! The man with the pain in the back will seek another remedy which does advertise. The patent medicine man should be the last to admit that business is bad. Suppose the dry goods man lets up on business, and the men in all branches of business let up, and howl about hard times, there will be nobody left that has any sand, except the saloon man, who never lets up. This patent medicine m m is destroying confidence in the stability of his country, and should be arrested. What you want to do is to take shotgun and go and call on this patent medicine man, with blood in your eye. Argue with him ar fr$t as to the wrong he is doing to suffering country, and promise to go and acquire any dis ease that his medicine is alleged to cure, and promise to induce all your friends to do the same, and do all that you can to show him that you are willing to do the fair thing, and then if he refuses, cock both barrels and point them at his vital parts, shut your eyes and pull. If his friends can cure him after that, if his medicine will go wandering around amongst his liver and pick out a teacup full of buck-shot, and stop up the skim mer holes in his liver, and make a new man of him, or even make a pretty fair old man, it will be the biggest kind of an advertisement for his liver cure, and will then advertise it for nothing but we must maintain the integrity of our busi- ness some way. 1t will not do for a liver cure man to stop the wheels of the busi- ness car of progress because people have temporarily rehained from falling over each other to gel patent medicines. Otherwise am well. Burn this letter.
 Yours truly, GEO. w. PECK.
