AS TO ADVERTISING.
The Merchant Who Builds up His
Business Through Publicity and the
Doctor Who Does the Same.

The most peculiar thing in life is
human nature and its contradictions.
What is right for one man or woman
TO do is quite wrong for another. ASK
those who approve the one and con-
denim the other why and they will not
he able to give a reasonable answer 1t
is all right for one man, for instance, to
advertise his business. but it is equally
wrong for another man to do so. Ii is
al right for the. merchant to inform
the public that he has some 81 silks
which he is selling for "a cents and a
package of toothpickS thrown in, but
let a doctor advertise that he has n
particular remedy for a particular
form of trouble and see what a howl
will go up frOm-the other doctors
And yet all doctors adVertise-Whcn
they get Il chance. The only difference
between doctors in this matter is that
some Of them pay for their advertise
ments and the others do not. But in
both cases the value of the advertising
is recognized.
one Of the greatest advertisers in
this country is Or. Ray V. Pierce. of
Buffalo. n. ", head of the famous
Worlds Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton. which manufactures those widely
and favorably known remedies, the
"FaEorite Prescription and the Gold
en- Medical Discovery" DR.. Pierce,
like other men who have dealings with
the public, knows that the only way to
sell goods is to let the people know
that YOU have them to sell 4 merchant

the world and ut the right prices. but
if he did not let the people know
about them those goods would STAY
right on his shelves. And it is so with
the patent medicine business. The
proprietor must let the people know
that he has remedy which will ac-
complish certain results. that he is
prepared to give them careful and sci
entiiic treatment by mail and the
terms on which he will do so. Then
those who need his services Will go to
him. They can't be reached any other
way. Then why condemn the man who
ndvcrtiS"S II cure any more than the
man who advertiscs 4 necktie?
Hut there is another point about this
business of advertising. Fake adver-
tlSemenis may carry business for
time Dut not for long. Lincoln used to
Say that YOU could not fool all the peo-
ri" all tho time. That has been proved
many times. \ business which. like
ipr. PIcrce's, has stood the test of near
ly 40 years. which has borne the br1Int
of many an attack directed bv igrlo-
ralIc" or malice. could not have
reached its present mammoth propor-
tons ON Misrepresentation or fake ad-
NcrtlSelncntS. There must lie some
thing more than that as its foundation.
1her" must be honor and honesty i'm
dealing with the public; else there will
be failure.
The Pierce Remedies were among
those which a certain prominent Jour
nal recently charged not to be what
they were advertised to he. But an
immediate libel suit for $500. 600
brought by DR.. Pierce led to a speedy
retraction Of the charge.

Mobile, Ala, Feb. 13.-Fire that has
thus far caused a loss of quarter of
a million broke out in this city, early
today, and is still burning. The ia
nous Battle House, one of the largest
hotels in the South, is in ruins and has
swept on to adjoining buildings. The
flames spread so rapidly that a number
of guest lost all their belongings and
not a few of these on the fifth floor
were compelled to take to the fire es-
capes in their nightclOthes. Two ee-
vator boys, Joseph Parks and Bernard
Constantine, stuck to their posts until
all the guests had reached safety, al
though the elevators caught fire and
the young men were burned about the
face and hands.
An hour after the fire started all the
electric lights in the business portion
of the city went out, due partly to the
turning off of the power to save the
tiremen from danger and partly to one
of the mann feed wires being broken.

The article has been translated into many
languages (including Chinesel. and has
been the subject OF editorial mention in
papers all over the globe.
