I felt glad for my error, but the poor little woman mistook my silence and broke down completely, sobbing so pitifully that I knew then that some great cause was hidden beneath her desire to reclaim the old cabinet. “It is more to me than life or death,” she crled out, passionately, looking straight before her. ‘‘It means my children’s honor.

Mr. Van 8. —Certaloly; firo away, R — Lo they sell weli? Mr. Van 8 ~-The sale of the Catl- cura, Catleura Rosolventand Caticura Soap have been unpresedented. R.—What reasons do you give for n0 iarge a sale? Mr. Van 8. —Iglve four reasons, First, they aro original and revolu- tionary tn’ their composition and mode of treatment, Second, they undoubt- odly possoss groat curative propertios. Thitd, thore are thousands upon thou- sands of sick and sutfering who have trled and found wanting the usual remadios and modes of treatment, and who aro roady to weloome a really groat and successful medicine. Fourth, the price of them {s within the means of every Invalld. R.—Are your large sales of these modiclnes through your agents? 0| Mr. Van S —-No; they are legits mate mail orders Wo employ no travelers on the rond—are fundamen- tally opposed to that way of selling goods-—the retaller has to stand such expensos, and such staple goods am these riqulre no one to foros them off, R.--DJ you class the Cutloura remodion as patent mediolnes? >-| Mr. Van S.—I do not. They are proprietary, so far as their names are concerned, theso boing held as trade marke; but their composition and preparation are eolentific, and In aocordance with the most advanced pharmaceutioal knowledge. R - Can you tell us something about the orielnatore? Mr. Van 8.—Weeks & Potter, Bos- ton, are importers, wholesale drug- gists and chemists, and for twenty- five yosrs have been the foremost house in the trada in New England. The Cutienra remedles have grown to such an extent that the business has beon transferred to a five-story labra tory, built and fitted expressly for the purpose, and conducted under the name of the Potter Drog and Chemi- oal Cu,, In compliment to Mr. Potter, the real dlecoverer of Cutlcara. R.—Itis popularly supposed that advertising will sell anything, regard- less of merit. Is it trac? Mr. Van 8 —No, A remedy false- ly claiming to possess virtues of which 1t 18 fact destitute, will surely fall, as it ought to. No reputable firm--and drugglets arc the most competent judger—would thik of rlsking fame and fortune la any medlolne, unless it had under the most trylng olrcum- stances proved itself to possoss extra- ordinary medicinsl valae, The expense attending the introduction of such remodles s enormous. A for- tune must bo spent before any re- turn can be expected. And |if, ‘| after a wide distribution, they are found to be all that is clalmed for them, those who have been cured will recommend them one to another, and thus make them remunerative. may safely say that over £500,000 have been pald tho newspapers alone for advertising Cutloura, besides all that has boen expended for pamphlots, clrculars, signes, otc. When a man backs his statements with his own movey, you may generally rely upén them, This the Potter Drug and Chemleal Company are now dotng. R. Havo they over before originated remedles for popular use? Mr. Van 8. I belleve not. are, like ourselves, agente for a great many, but we think the Cutlcura rem- edlen are the first that they propare themselves, Itls but once in a life time that a dlscovery is made of a remedy that such a firm is willing to stake reputation and fortune on. R.—Are their prospects flattering or otherwise? Mr. Van 8.—Very flatterlng. Al- ly | though they have as yet reallzed but a | bare interest cn the amount of money invested, they will in time meet with large returns, because, as 1 sald be- fore, the remedles undoubtedly pos- great merit, and besides, they treat blood and skin diseases accordini to a new and thoroughly rational plan that must take & firm hold on the con- fidence of those who suffer trom chron- fo dissases of the blood, skin and scalp. n d 0 or io ft Id = e g - in | 455, MARK TWAIN, SSISSIPPL" A rich ot t all the ration e i TO AGENTS.
