THE CROPS.

Tie Crops in Jackson's Purchase KentucKy. A correspondent writing from Paducah, June 7th, says: " The result of my investigations as to the wheat crop in this section is, that it will be above the average of the past eight years. While the amount sown is considerably more than usual, the yield is about twothirds of what would be a laree croD. There were great fears, up to within a week, that the rust would amost en tirely destroy the wheat, but . our- re cent weather ha? proven beneficial, and we are all right. SOUTHERN IILIX6IS. Prospects for Wheat, Corn, Tobacco, - toiion, d:c. A correspondent, writing -from Shawneetown under date of the" 10th inst., gives us the following very" satisfactory report of the agricultural prospects ia Southern Illinois: The wheat crop, prcfmises well, and in many counties the crop .will be far greater than it has .been for years, and in every county an average crop will be harvested. Cora has oeeu planted abundantly) and some ia the lowlands, which have -recently been overflowed, looks well "and promising. About the usual amount of tobacco will be grown. Cotton will fall a little short of the amount of last season, though in many counties where heretofore but little cotton - has 1 been grown. the farmers are planting largely? Castor beans will be grown very abundantly in nearly all the counties of Southern:' Illinois this season. This crop has been somewhat neglected for Several years past. As a general thing the farmers are laborr ing hard, and in earnest, and if the season continues good, the earth will groan with the fruits of their labor. The wheat harvest "will commence about the lth o this month. ,.. , ,,. , ... .., THE PATET-MEBICIXE BlSIiESS. How Forfanes Have Been Made. The profit of patent medicines " is illustrated ' by some statements made in a recent report upon the manufacturing resources of.liuffitlo. It first mentions the success of Mr. Loveridge, the inventor of the Wahoo Bitters." , Another instance is that of a sMr. Swaim, a poor Philadelphia book-binder. lie had a kiud of Bore on his leg that troubled him very much. One day as he was running over the pages of a book he was binding, his eye came across a recipe for making a syrup which was said to cure scrofula, king's evil- and other diseases of the blood. He copied it, got some of ; the materials at a drug shop, took the. medicine, and in time was cured. He then made some for bis friendsrand acquaintances, and finally left his binder's counter an i entered uppu the manufacture of "Swainxs panacea." It began to sell, and finally its fame spread wherever civilization fhad gone, and in some parts where fthe people do snot enjoy that blessing to this day. He paid enormously 4'or advertising, and after many years he .built blocks of stores and? splendid mansions in Philadelphia, where they appear .in all their magnificent , proportions, the pride of the city and a monument to the memory and enterprise of a patent medicine man. He died and left his heirs a million or more. - , ; . Dr. David Jayne died in Philadelphia a few days ago, leaving $3,000,000. He commenced thirty-five years since, as poor as, he could be, in putting up a round of what he called family medicines," such as sanative pills, carminative balsam, worm medicine, expectorant, and a score of other curative preparations. Philadelphia is dotted with towering structures erected by him. He had great taste for the tall and massive order of architecture .His residence stands on Chesnut Street," near the Schuylkill bridge. The edifice is of pure marble, and is the most exquisite mansion in Philadelphia. V, , Dri Schenck was a Philadelphian. He put up a syrup for curing con- ; sumption, and at one time kept s small office in Courtland Street, &ew York. For1 many years it was up hill ' work to make the medicine take, but by dint of persistent advertising he weathered the sform, and has come out all rigfct- The Doctor owns a large farm on the New York and Philadelphia Railroad in New Jersey.' The station named after him is at that point, where the travelers see in large letters as they go by " Consumption Can be Cured." He is probably worth his hundreds of thousands by this time, all made from the sale of a patent medicine. There are scores of others in Philadelphia, whose names escape us at this moment, who have realized large fortunes, and built for themselves splendid mansions in that city, out of the same line of business. ' It may be thirty-five years ago that Dr. Benjamin Brandreth made nis de- 1 but in iNew Jtork, as a vender of pills. It was alleged at that time that he procured his recipe from an old man who came over with him in the ship from England, or that he became acquainted with it in New York. It makes no matter whichl When he first started in Hudson .Street he was too poor tor advertise and for some time sold his pills by the single box,, until he acquired a sufficient

After awhile he found the druggists were selling more than ! he was manufacturing, and an inves tigation proved that they were an imi tation article. This gave him a good chance to caution the public against counterfeits. In time he opened a central office .. in . Broadway, above Warren Street, which, for a long time remained his nrinciDal office. At leneth he made terms with the drug gists, and the pills became" a regular article On the price list of wholesale houses. Afterwards a site; was . purchased at Yonkers, where ' a factory was built, which suDDued the demand A sloop carried a load 'f hogsheads of mil boxes ud. and brought a load of pill in boxes back. The "doctor probably ewns-a steamboat to do his carrying business now. We have no means or estimating his riches. I he Brandreth House, corner of Broad way and Canal-Street. -is owned by him, and we presume he" owns whole sauares of other real estate in that city. t.t -:;i.v -...;. I,,.:;-,-! Dr. Ayers, of Lowell, came very near ruining all his relatives after he started his pills, saraaparilla and cherrv pectoral. It was a tedious time he had in fighting advertising bills and other expenses. He spent what little he had, borrowed all his relatives had, till finally the medicines1 began to make returns, and from that time, some twenty years, he has been mat king money. lie owns a paper mill, where he makes a peculiar paper, which he claims cannot be easily counterfeited in which he wraps his various preparations.? People who estimate his wealth run him into millions. At one time he was, if he is not still, aiheavy stockholder in the New York Tribune Association. . Such ,.meu are apt to leave their imprint, even if they make their money in the manufacture of patent medicines. - "" William B., Moffat was a silk mer chant in .New -rode liesides being a bankrupt his health had become Very much impahed from over r work and trouble of one kind and another. In his extremity he conceived the idea of making a pill and bitters. They cured his- infirmities rand made a millionaire of him" in less than twenty- years. Persons familiar with New York can tell the number of magnificent stores he owns on Broad way and other parts of the city. He died some years ago, but the pills and bitters didn't , The heirs carry on the business as usual. Perry Davis, the pain-killer man; Donald Kennedy, proprietor of the great medical discovery who has re fused one hundred thousand dollars for the right: Seth W. Fowle, who bought Wistar's balsam of wild cherry from Isaac Butts, of New York, the largest patent medicine depot in Amer ica ;iHostetter, Helmbold, the Mexican mustang liniment man. and a thous and others in the United States whom we have not time to mention, can count their hundreds of thousands. all made in the patent-medicine trade. Isaac Butt?, of Rochester, sold the right to manufacture Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry in the Eastern States to Seth W. Fowle, of Boston, for $25,000, and put the greater part of the money in telegraph stock, 'which stock accumulated so fast that with its dividends and what he had made in the Rochester Uniou he has retired with about a million and a half, a richer if ? not a nappier man. Jttows or stores and blocks of land .owned by him in Rochester, attest the truth of what we write. t Isaac commenced by selling Sherman's Lozenges and Peters' Pills on commission. Patent medicines have made him a princely fortune. Sound Sense About Advertising. We find the following array of good sense about advertising in the Cardington 'Republican: , A young man, just commenc'ng business, and wishing to advertise, sought the counsel of a retired merchant as to the best mode of procedure, when the following conversation ensued : Young Man" When is the best time to advertise? " .-' - Retired Merchant" When do you put your sign up?,, - Y. M. " Why.I don't take it dowu it is up all the time." ' . R. M. " That is just what you want to do in advertising do' so all the time never stop, and you are sure to win." , , -Y-3L " But why advertise during dull times?" h. .v . - t R. M. Because that is ' just , the -time to make new customers, and those you wish to make such have more time to read and will notice and read your advertisements, while in busy times they might not look at them or give them a passing glance, in consequence of being busy themselves." Y. M. " But the large majority of business men do not advertise during dull seasons," R. M. "This is just the reason why I advocate it in such seasons. You have fewer advertisements to contend with, and I verily believe that 1 made more new customers from well gotton up and conspicuous advertisements during dull seasons, telling the public what I was going to have when the busy season commenced, than at auy other time."l : Jr.H s i-U., German Eraslvc Soan if IS MA3TirrArTirKEI FROM FFRE materials, tin may be considered tbe standard of ExcELLEscE.
