on his face a frown his age appeared to be less thau eight ramed and pinched no cap on his pate his otothes were dirty sparse arid torn with toes exposed where his shoes were worn s h tbns he trudged along tfie drifted way with shoulders droopedi as if by decay crying and sobbing iu deep distress as if something dire did him oppress at length a lady who rodfilbng very kindly asked liim what was wrong whew he wa coing and tolieuw lva swae who ww his father snd what was luai name his tale was sad when the whole was told whowouldnt pity a boy in the cold l he was called he saidi the draukards

in general but the histo ry or rise progress and present state 1 if one of them we mean holloways pil is and ointment may be considered on s of the most interesting episodes of m deirn civilization nothing appears easier- no mode of business teems readier at- har d than the establishment of a patent medicine only a slirvof paper ia required with a prescription nponit and a few drugs such is all the general public think necessary and so a great many havetrifd the ttihig over and over again to their great loss and huge disap pointment true a patent medicine only results from a prescription written on a piece of paper but then the thing must prove itself w rthy of the confidence of the public and its verdict depends upon the efficacy of ths medieinoin a word its success in the cure of disease fortunate ly the rise o the farfamed holloways pills and oi itment was like that of a napoleonic i leaa design that nothing could withsti tnd in its march towards universal cciquest when professor hoiloway soi aeforty years ago spoke to the- principal of an eminent firm about bringing out u patent medicine the old gentleman sh xk his head and asked the prof easor if lie had any money yes was the reply then yon had better keep it rejoi ned he in spite of the dis- conraging hii t however hoiloway con- scions of the mportahce of his great dis covery know og that it was not merely a slip of paper mth a prescription upon it bat somethin destined for a great future persevered against all opposition and very soon discover edthav not only the entire british public but all the world were ready to support him in his great design of doing battle with disease in every form and with the roost efficient weapons al- though only in the shape of pills and oint ment thejnrogress of this patent medi- cine was not slow i on the contrary it was commensurate with the greatness of- ts object ani its allpowerful efficacy and as for the present state of holloways pills and ointment according to the statistics of patent medicines we may truly declare that it is astounding it may suffice on the present qccasin to point to the fact that the nnniber of druggists and medicine vendors throughout the united kingdom with whom professor hoiloway is connect ed ia over fojirteen thousand and that riot on of them would remain for an hour without a supply of his pills and ointment so great isj the demand for them amongsjt all classes of the community such has been the success of this patent medicine project against which so eminent a con noisseur as mr barclay shookhii head hut
