There is TO be found in every eommuni.

few so smart in their own conceit. that to
appear wiser than their fellows they
adopt the rule TO believe nothing that is
said, and agree with no one in anything
they do. A.aong the thousand things
which they deprecate in business it Is a
special fashion. where their ignorance is
most conspicuous, to criticise adversely
all advertised articles. They spread
themselves" on these as their greatest
forte" The compass OF their wisdom is
this: that because an article is extensively
advertised 1t must necessarily be a fraud;
for, as they say, IL IL was not fraud the
proprietors could not afford TO spend such
enormous sums in making their wares
known TO the public. The absurdity of
such pretense will be best illustrated by
a conversation which the writer had a
few days ago with a member of a large
concern, in which this very question was
discussed
Why" said the gentleman, take our
own case, for Instance We are spending
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a
year In placing our goods before the trade
ana public. Now. is il reasonable TO sup
pose that we would spend this amount OF
money in q worthless article, without
merit of any kind, when by the mere out
lay OF one thousand dollars or less, we
eould buy the best prescription or fOrmulst
My long experience and observation"
he continued, have been that a person
trying an article that has no merit, upon
the strength Of newspaper advertising.
and talking against such an article can
do more harm than a column of Rdyertis-
ing in its favor. On the contrary, 3 good
opinion expressed In like manner, from
one to another. on an article that has
merit, Is the best form of advertising"
In the past four months we have re-
ceiyed over 5000 unsolicited testimonials
unqualifiedly endorsing the merits of our

fully $500 of the writers state that they

In the Concert Rooms.
Life at a German bath begins early: at n
m or a. n. at latest, the majority of health
seekers walk down to the Homburg wells to
take their prescribed quantity Of water. The
scene then in this charming valley is interest
ing and lively. The long alloy leading from
the Kaiser 10 the Elizabeth spring is thronged
with people Of every age and nationality, all
slowly paTnding up and down, listening to
the music of an excellent band near the pTin-
cipal well. thus shortening the intervals
necessary between the single doses Of water.
AT 9 o'clock the environS of tho springs are
nearly empty; every one has hurried home
for breakfast After pause Of pleasant rest
the remainder of the forenoon Is generally
employed in the use of the baths, which are
crowded, often OverCrOwded, Ill fact, from ii
TO l, at which time lunch again emPties the
streets and calls visitors TO the different hotels
and restaurants.
The afternoon is employed in different
ways English visitors flock in large numbers
to the lawn tennis ground, one of the finest in
Germany, splendidly situated in the middle
of the park, and carefully kept in order by
the administration. Others prefer excursions
to the mountains, where there Is much To
interest and amuse, and no one will omit
visit to the ruins of the Saalburg, an ancient
Roman ''caStellum." Between / and > O'Clock
the neighborhoud Of the springs again grows
lively; many patients now take their after
noon dose of water, and now, just as the
Elizabeth well was the most frequented i'll the
early morning, the greater number of visitors
are gathered around the Ludwigsbrunnen,
or the iron waters, the Luisen and StahL
brunnen.
After dinner, which takes place generally
at or C;::D, the kurSaal forms the center Of
attraction. 1t Is a splondid building, the sur
