' )"■ i << i: t-';3t -';3 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 juft-basement? on lmdgate Hill, from •whence he dispatched his goods on trial to all parts of the country. Success attended his efforts — so much i so that but a short time had elapsed before increased business necessitated,, the, addition of another , basement; and, this prosperity continuing,' he ultimately bdcamV 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, hundred's 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 Jbecame 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 i,t has been achieved with ljttle_or no advertising; for the read^r.will bear in mind that he has seldom, if > ever, seen an' advertisement/in. the newspapers concerning'thb &rtide, which, by the ; way.is an "Extractof 'American Roots," otherwise called " Mother Siegel's Curative fciyfup," the proprietor of which is A. J. White, of 21, Furringdon Boad, London, E.C. The sale of the article is now so great 1 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 i receipts have averaged £1,000 during the present year, and show the some decided upward tendency *hat i they did twelve months ago, when they were but £100. An increase of tenfold in twelve months is •ehus , shown to have taken place : may it not, therefore, be assumed that another twelve months will show a still ,1, 1 further increase ? The question that will now occur ib — "How has this rapid and great success" been ' attained?" We answer— ln the same manner by which* news travels in India— from mouth to mouth, so j 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 Imown the fact to their , friends 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, whicli thus continued to spread by means of a little ; army of those who had suffered from dyspepsia, or indigestion, and obtained relief, gratefully acknowi ledged. It is supposed that there never was such a wonderful achievement, in this or any country, in so short ' a space of time, and what other inference can be drawn therefrom than (as is the case) that the article possesses real merit ? For upon no other supposition can it be imagined that those who had, as it were, J constituted themselves into animate and walking advertisements would voluntarily, and without pay, 5 advocate to all within their influence the " Extract," as a means of escape from the dzßtressingißymptoniß of disease. This flyspep'uia,' 1 so prevalent in the country, steals upoA t utf tinaVares? ' PatientS-have pains in , the chest and side, sometimes in the back ; they feel dull and sleepy ; the mouth has a disagreeable taste, especially in 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 gone " sensation at the pit of the stomach, which food .will not satisfy.- .Thet-eyes.are sunkenr, thejhands , and feet'bedpme cold ana\,f eel clammy— a' sort of cold sweat' in' fact. The patient, feels tiredrallftheswrnle, ; and sleep.fails to afford rest. After a time he . becomes nervous, irritable', 5 and 'gloomy; and 5 ln^nimd^ filled . with sad forebodings. There is a giddiness— a species of whirling in the head— when rising up 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 iearfr disease.* The vision becomes impaired with nibs or spots beford the eyes, and' there is great prostration and weakness. After a while, a cough sets in, at first diy, 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. Sufferers from 'these' distressing symptoms will usually give , their last penny to obtain relief, and no doubt many will be'induced to write to Mr. White and leanLthe ■ ? , full particulars of this wonderful remedy: perhaps they, too, will finrt relief, and become' members' of the , little army of those whose good word has so efficiently made the worth of the article known ; for sufferers ifrom a disease, when finding relief, are almost always anxious that others who suffer may also have relief brought within their reach. Testimonials" from such people, as to a fact, have more weight than pages of argument, and herein lies the secret oi the rapid and wonderful success above described. , To be obtaiiied^from,all Chemists, and Wholesale pf I MS?SR'3 J KiEtfPTaOBt!T.B, GROSSER; & 00, Dunedin.
