The Verdict Of the People.

The American people are broad-gaueed
anu liberal minded. They are ready to hear
any remarks. listen TO any song, read any
book, try anything new, and they pass their
verdict promptly and infalibly. Anything
that becomes popular is good. and nothing
can become popular that is not good. The
people never make mistake. Newspaper
advertising will induce the readers to try
anything that's advertised-once Merit does
the rest. A shining example of this prin-
ciple Is that of CaScarets, Candy Cathartic
sale Of over a million boxes q month.
