“Show me a man who thinks he has a bad cold, gentlemen,” exclaimed the stranger who had secured the town hall for a free illustrated lecture, “and I’ll show you a fraud !” Instantly sixty-three men in the audience rose up. 1 “There’s your fraud, gentlemen !” said the lecturer, throwing a picture of the celebrated Cardiff Giant on the screen. “And now, my friends,” he continued, “while you are locking at this monumental example, my assistant will go through the audience* with small sample of my J l rt 11 -'r r for the Cure of ancT which I guarantee—remember, ladies and gentlemen, I absolutely guarantee—to cure each and every ease,- or yourraoney will be cheerfully refunded. Small samples 5 cents, to assist in paying for the rent of this hall. Larger bottles, 25 cents. After I have sold $25 worth of this wonderful remedy, ladies and gentlemen, we will have the moving pictures of the San Francisco earthquake.”-—Chicago Tribune.
