DR. J.CAYER: A Warning to Advertisers. Druggist*’ Circular. The insanity of Dr. J. C. Ayer, of Lowell, affords a terrible warning to advertisers. Here was a man engaged in the manufacture of a pill, not differing much from a hundred otner pills which may be obtained at any drug store. In an unguarded moment he made up his mind to advertise, not in the picayune style of the ordinary dealer, but in the comprehensive sort of way by which he wo’d reach every pos ible purchaser of pills. He started with the idea of devoting half of his profits each year to advertising. The result might have been foreseen. He accumulated money so rapidly that he did not know what to do with it. When he had rolled together $15,000,000, and had vainly striven to find some outlet for his ever-increas-ing profits, his mind gave way under the absorbing cares of his vast business, and he is now a patient at an asylum for the insane. How easily this calamity might have been averted! If he had stuck to the conservative methods of many of our merchants and refrained from :advertisifig> he might have been passing quietly through bankruptcy npw, instead of being loaded down with his uncounted millions. It is a dangerous experiment for a man who does not want to become rich to advertise; or, if he advertises at all, he must adveitise grudgingly and at long intervals, lest his profits should grow out of all proportion to his requirements, and he should find himself burdened with wealth. Advertising, conducted on the principle of devoting half the profits of a busisiuess to it, is, we repeat, a dangerous experiment. It precipitates a fortune upou the advertiser so suddenly that the chances are even that he will not know what to do with his money. The multitudinous pleasures of bankruptcy, insolvency, and “shinning around” for the wherewithal to meet a note are permanently denied to the man who advertises. There never was, in Europe or America, a great advertiser who did not accumulate a great fortune. Let those who desire to live unburdened by the cares of wealth take warning. . < ■ Mr. Edgar Parker has about completed his portrait of the late VicePresident Wilson. It was about fourteen years ago last week that the artist, wounded at Gettysburg, was lying in a freight ear, hungry and thirsty, without attendance, awaiting transportation homewards, when he saw Henry Wilson go bv the train ou foot. Calling to him by name, Wilson went up and recognized Parker, He started off, and soon brought him water, crackers, and other comforts.
