"In the three worth, 'painsand panaceas,'
5s59.,!'Pr'mSS .thf-Jrhjjle .subject of
patent medicines, " saidaprominent whole
sale druggist of this city to a reporter in
rearch of information on that woi Id
known topic "People are bound to have
the former, and as long as there is an
earth the latter will be manufactured as
cure-alls. Patent medicine have become
one of the staples of the wiirid's producls,
and areas certain now of being found on
the market as Wheat or baly carriagis or
com. Where and when the patent medi
cine, as it is now undcrstoc 1, originatrd,
is bald to tell. I am incline 1 to the belief
that, like Topsy, it just growed.
"In regard to the sJicacy of patent
medicines I have this much to fay: While
a large number of them nre, of course, ab
solutely worthies, it must be admitted
that many of them bate a great deal of
merit and will do nearly what is claimed
for them. A manufacturer finds a recipe
which, in its cures of certain sicknecs,
has become almost a tradition m a locality,
or a physician makes n study of some
sptc'al disease and prepares his formula;
it stands to reason that in either case the
medicines "must have merit. Many of these
preparations arc compounded of herbs
which the Indian, through a natural in
stinct, has been using f in iher back than
the memory of man goeth; others are
really what your phvsiclan would give you
at a higher price, while ihe many are but
simple decoctions, wmen, romwneu wita
the good hygienic advice they make you
follow', effect their cures.
"TLere arc patent medicines without
end. In this catalogue I have here there
are 3,00 varielics listed, which arc ac
tively before the trade, and there nre fully
4,000 vaiictics knowu. Then consider the
vast numb, r which have on'y a Iceil repu
tation, and I have no doubt the total would
be biought up to G,0J0. Ihe amount of
manufactuiing done is tremendous, bur a
larger number of the firms Iucn't much
capital to put into (.dtertising, find conse
quently their prcducls never Acure any
thing but a local n-rrrrtatioit; The lug
eastern firms have extensive numufactories,
in which they emp oy thousands of peo
ple, and many of them have even armed
at that point where they own large print
ing offices and get cut their own"advertis
ing matter.
"It would he a hard matter to gucsat
tlm toialwaasrit- rr.s-.r'' -y'j'Vrtittt
Idea can be obtained by referring to a few
of the more prominent of the medicines
now before the public. Last year the
value of the product of a well-known.
Pochester firm was 3.0C0,000,- of a
Philadelphia Lrm, f.'.CCO.COO; of another
Philadelphia firm. $1,500,000; of a Balti
more firm. jl,000,CW); of a liuiTalo rnn.
$1,000,00-3; of Lowell firm, &l,OiK),0GO.
Nearly onc-Unth of this entire product
was handled for the Wl stern trade by the
seven principnl drag hevscs of Chicago.
One of these firms serds about five car
loads, or 37,500 bottles, of its medicine to
this city c cry month to be distributed
through the west, northwest and south.
This getting medicire in car-load lots i,
of course, an exceptional case, but it serves
as an initance to shoiv to what a magni
tude this business has grown.
" Tha amount of advertising done in the
interests of patent medicines, tUrou!;:i
almanacs, newspapers, circular;, show
cards, posters, etc., is simply enormous, "
Eaid a well-known adve-tisirfgawnt whom
the reporlei subie-jueutly isitcd, "and the
money paid outruns im":nto the millions.
Almanacs ere printed by the ton. and
wh'n j ou figure out that these almanacs
will average sixteen or seventeen to the
po and you can realize wiut tttat means;
and not one ton or five tons, hut hundred
of them. I know se era! linns who is"e
from fifty to three hundred tons of printed
matter every year, and, besides, do an im
menre amount of newspaper adverting.
"About a year ago one of the more
prominent of the patent medicine manu
facturers was interested in a trial in this
city, and swore on the wittwss stand that
his advertising e-penscs for the pzeenhag
year were 'J50,000; a prominent Kalti
morc film I know experded nearly 2f0.
000 last year, and there aro many firms
who pay out from 50,000 to $100,000.
Why, take yesterday's Chicago chilis and
figure up the number of pa'ect medicine
cdverlLments therein. That will give
you an idea of the extent of the business. "
The reporter did so; he scanned the
columns of the papers and foad therein
ncarlj- thirj columns of display advertise-.
ments --cttiiig forth the nierils of pitcnt
medicines. -Th:.t is exclusive of reading
notices and could have coit no less than
1,200, Continued the agent. "It gives
you an idea of the extent to which 'his ad
vertising is carried. In fuet, ithi-s been
pushed so much that patent medicine ad
vertisers arc constantly devising new
schemes and experding money out of the
ordinary channels."

"Do you think American ladies ilivss

La Princcsco was stitching away for
dear life; hernccdlo described wondor
ful evolutions through the sir; her line
s m mi incredioiy-suort space of time.
"l-ashion is an absurd, mtaniblo
will-o'-tho wisp," answered LaPrincesse,
so vehemently that her broken, but
delightful English failed her, and sho
had to sek roinforctmeut from her
native Parisian. "English and French
ladies follow this will-o'-tho wisp blindly.
American ladits don't. They're too
original. Ihcy don't run in a lurd
after some silly stylo that can never suit
them. Ticns!"
La Prinees3 ran her needle into her
littlo white thumb in her enthusiasm.
Her listener was obliged to stanch the
liow of blooel.
"I don't believe what you say about
the Europeans," said ho who listened,
indignantly. lie knew nothing of tho
cause of fa-diion only its effect.
"Petit idiotl" exclaimed tho lady
angrily; "listen, and I'll give you as
many examples as you can require.

and at last, in despair, pasted n piece of
black plaster over tho offending spot.
Result: All tho hdies of the court' :it

plaster on thrir faces. A fashion was
established, and it was kept up a long
time. The same lady, as I suppose jott
know, was exceedingly diminutive in
stature. To remedy this defect she in
vented high-heeled boots. They were un
known before her time. Result: Tho
ladies of the court tGok to high-heeled
boots, and another fashion lmd birth."
"I'm nearly convinced."
"O, but l'vo not finished yet. Marie
Antoinette had enormous quantities of
hair. Sho didn't know what to do with
it. She was waiting for a barber ono
day with tho intention of being shorn,
and had piled up her hair in a neglige
manner when sho suddenly found that
this style ot heaeldress set off her small
features to advantage. Result: Mons
trously high confutes came into fashion,
and were worn for a very longtime.
Anne of Austria had exquisitely formcel

"Well, where's England in this con

heel of their shoo mado lower than the
other. Result: The 'Alexandria limp'
becamo the height of fashion. The
'Grecian bend' was another result cl
this unfortunate defect. Well, this rame
noble lady has some slight deformity in
tho neck which prevents her wearing
dresses cut low. Result- Tho fashion,

It was during the darkness of the

Foremost among tho prolongors of

his intlnenco that even tho learned

Patients and pupils flocked around him
from every quarter of Europe. Notivith

On Their Track-
Tho sad case of Charles Certer, who
was a book keeper in ft Broadway,
New York, dry gcodtbons? aycarago,
and irbo, through his infatuation for a
concert saloon singer, stole his employ
er's money anal tank to tha lowaat
-cp:br"; ds5r.1J-.1ICu, 1 not n un
common one. The varioas UtapU
tions held forth to young men At the
myriad night resorto and deadly in
their effects in too many 'n3tances; and
this is so well understood by employers
tliAt tbey adopt ovary means at their
command to exercisa a certain surveil
ancc over their clerks, evea out of
hours of businnss. Many of the pri
vate detective agencies down town aro
particularly employed in keeping large
mercantile houses adviser of the noc
turnal rumblings ef their employes,
andi many a young clerk who thinks
that the friendly veil of night hides
him from all observation sf employers
or acquaintances, has his every wild
escapade, tdebauhery, and extrava
ganeo noted by some "shadow" from
an agency.
"Why," said the superintendent of a
dotcctive firm on Broad waj. "If
somo of those lads who frequent the
saloons and dives on Sixth avenuo and
the surrounding ncighborhoed at night
wero to know that they are constantly
under tho eyo of some nan from this
office, and that a careful report is readr
Made to their employers of every word
and action of theirs during their drun
ken sprees, they would think tics
baforo starting out to paint the town
red."
"So yau kerp a watch over clerks sn
a spree. Are yon engaged by their
employarsj" asked a reporter.
"Yes, tho very instant a merchant
or oihor employer suspects that a trust
ed oelc-ksepflr, cassifr, or clerk is
loading a fast lifr, and it'is sasy onoujh
to wake his suspicions, ho notifies this
or corns similar office. Tha employe
h shadowed, and ia a wsek wo can toll
how niuih money kho has spent, aad
the character of tha company he
keeps. Every word and action that
ha thinks hidden from tho world is
rovealed on the pages of our memoran
da. Consequently, a clork who is
hauled up by his employer some fine
morning and informed to his surprite
and dismay that his services are no
longer required, or perhaps is put in
charge of an oliicpr to answer for robb
ing tha firm, little knows that tho man
us vs ci the adjoining table in some
concert saloon was there especially to
watch him."
"We find it a necessary "precaution,"
said a merchant in tkt dry goods dis
trict when questioned on tho subject,
"to employ tha services of private de-
tactiTes when wc suspeat matters are
act going all right with some of our
clerks. It ia a check on thorn and
keeps us advised regarding tha char
actor of men wo are compelled to
trust. I have reports sent to mo
from a detective ageecy whenever any
one in my etaploy appears at a disre

Gossip About Blaine's Fu
ture Intentions-
Philadelphia, Novomler 23. The
Times has twe' columns of Augusta
specials on Blaine's home life. They
declare positively that Blaino did not
want tho Presidential nomination.
This;. 13 ntUs'.ed by Lis acighters. It
oppressed him mora than most people
will ever livable to understand. Ho
almost faltered in the presanee of tha
great responsibility thrust upon him.
He had not expected that, the uio of
his name in tho convention, which he
had permitted ia forder to defeat Ed
mundsand Arthur, could result in his
nomination. Instead of controlling
the convention for somo one else, as ho
anticipated, that hedy controlled itself
for him, end newfound himself with o
jawel that ho did not want.
In ajfewdays Blaine's family will
go"1 tog Washington for tha winter,
simply following his rule of the last 20
years. Thero'thcy will followtheir
customary babitil-of life, and receive
and be received'asthough they had
snStred no disappointments.
Feople'who expect to find him sour
and ill tcraperod after this defeat, havo
reckoned without theirhost. Th oth
er class whotboug&t he wonld weaken
and decline in health, if he failed to
reach tho Presidency, may be pra.
parrd to sat tkoanc fresh, breezy
man asjwhen he was an the higher
wavo of public favor. Ho intends to
remain in 'public viow,'' and it is more
than likely that he will accept a scat
in congress after his literary task has
been completed. Either Senator Halo
or Congressman Millikan would rotiro
to give p'aeo to Blaine, and in return
Hale could become governor. Frye
would not yield unless compelled to,
and it would keep Blaino busy to heat
him if he tried. There is a general
feeling that the matter can be ar
ranged to accommodate ail statesmen.
Tho Times' special says that Blaine's
antagonism to Edmunds and Arthur
grows oat of the latter's reflection up
on hit South American policy, and his
efforts to get Conklini; returned-to the
spnate after he had resignrd. He had
hoped to be sesretary of stato with
Arthur's eucccaior. Edmunds helped
to tako a part of New England from
him, twice, whan Blaino had been
within a shadow of the nomination of
the prHsidency.

nothing in the Icctura that can proper
ly be called new. Tho points made
are aa old, almost, as the discussion of
tho subject, and ths air at profundity
with -rhieh thty ara advanced is even
less convincing, it seems to us, and
cortainly less entertaining, than tha
air of levity and audacity that Col.

with the leisnro or inclination to ran
sack old books could easily construct
such a lecture; and on the other hand,
it would be no hardjr to draw from
