STBITTT, BELPEB and iLOFDON. AH EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS. A little more than a year ago a man came to London from America to introduce an article hitherto unknown to this country. He commenced operations by renting a s«&-basement on Ludgate Hill, front ■whence he dispatched his goods on trial to all parts of the country. Success attended his efforts— so much so that but a short time had elapsed before increased business necessitated 'the 'addition of another basement; and, this prosperity continuing, he ultimately became ,the occupant of three basements and offices, exceeding in space, by six times, that first rented by him. ' In these extensive premises the business still further expanded, hundreds of parcels, almost, being dispatched daily from thence. In little less than one year it had grown to such magnitude that a still further increase of premises became absolutely neoes* sary ; and this man, once the tenant of a small sub-basement, now leases alarge and entire building, adapted, at great expense, to the requirements of his business. The most astonishing point about this rapid and wonderful success is that it has been achieved with little or no advertising; for the reader will bear in mind that he has seldom, if ever, seen an advertisement in the newspapers concerning the article, which, by the way, is an "Extractof AmericanKoots," otherwise called " Mother Siegel's Curative Syrup,! 'sthe proprietor of which is A. J. White, of 21, Farringdon Ebad, London, E.G. The sale of the 'article' is'now so great that no less than £200 worth of revenue stamps are weekly consumed in compliance with the law, which fact alone will indicate the enormous proportions to which the business has attained. The weekly cash receipts have averaged £1,000 during the present year, and show the same decided upward tendency *tat they did twelve months ago, when they were but £100. An increase of tenfold in twelve months is vhua shown to have taken place : may it not, therefore, be assumed that another twelve months will show a still further increase 1 The question that will now occur is—" How has this rapid and great success been attained V We answer -In the same manner by which news travels in India— from mouth to mouth, so that now the article can be found in nearly every chemist's shop in the land. The article, first sent out on trial for cases of dyspepsia, and the many painful complaints to which it gives birth, effected such remarkable results that those who had derived benefit from its use loudly made known the fact to their mends and neighbours, many of whom thus became persuaded to give the article a trial, and they, in their turn, finding its use beneficial, also added to its fame, which thus continued to spread by means of a little army of those who had suffered from dyspepsia, or indigestion, and obtained relief, gratefully acknowIt is supposed that there never was such a wonderful achievement, in this or any country, in so short a space of tune, and what other inference can be drawn therefrom than (as is the case) that the article possesses real merit ? Por upon no other supposition can it be imagined that those who had, as it were, constituted themselves into animate and walking advertisements would voluntarily, and without pay, advocate to all within their influence the >" Extract," as a means of escape from the distressing symptoms °* dl £ease. This dyspepsia, so prevalent in the country, steals upon us unawares. Patients have pains in the chest and side, sometimes in the back ; they feel dull arid sleepy ; ' the mouth has a.disagreeablUaste, especially m the morning; a sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth, making the breath offensive to others The appetite is poor, and there is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach, sometimes an » all gosc sensation at the pit of the stomach, which food will not satisfy. The eyes are sunken ; the hands ££* f m f C °Jf a ? -f ! c h? my 7; a st £ fc $ c^ old sweat ?n? n facfc - The P atient feels «red all the while, and sleep faUs to afford rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irritable, and'glooray, and to£ mind ■filled with sad forebodings. There is a giddiness— a species of whirling in the head— when rising \rp suddenly • the bowels become costive, and the skin dry and hot at times. ' The blood is now thick and stagnant'; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow ; there is a frequent spitting up of the food, oftentimes with a sour taste in the mouth at others with a sweetish taste. These symptoms are frequently attended with palpitation of the heart,; so that the patient suspects he may have heart disease. The vision becomes impaired with nibs or spots before the eyes, and there is great prostration and weakness. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but attended, after a few months, with a greenish-coloured expectoration All these symptoms are not necessarily prevalent at one time, but 'they are in turn, one after another and generally many of them at one time. Buff eras from these distressing symptoms will usually give their last penny to obtain rehef and no doubt many will be induced to writl to Mr. White and learn the f^L pa^- Cular + t Of thl £ wonder | ul . re i^dy : perhaps they, too, will find relief, arfd become members of thl little army of those whose good word 'has so efficiently made the worth of the article known ; f 01^sufferers . . • 2 from a disease, when finding relief are almost always, anxious that others who Buflto mS atoHSS rehef brought within their reach. Testimonials from such people, as to a fact, have more weight than pages of argument, and herein lies the secret or' the rapid and wonderful success above described: To bejobtained t from>ll Chemists, and Wholesale of MB3SR3iKBMPTaORNB, PJRO33SR, & 00, DaaeJio.
