stUCCESS OF TiE BUSINESS.
That the business, some of the queer
incidents of widich are here outli1ned,
is highly profitable is beyond doubt.
Aiong the throng of diruniiers scen
almost every idght at the lobbies are

sand dollars. Though they have got
rich the fatscination of th'eir litlong
purilit aid the exercise of sharpness
an( ingennity which it, calls forth
ChamIs them to its continuance when it
is no longer a question of bread and
butter to catch a customer. Two men
in the business aire said to be worth
in the neighborhood of $250.000.
These, of coitrse, aire exceptional in
sannces, but there is no doubt that,
with a little cleverness, persistence
and ingenuity, a very good living may
be secur by the tricks and dodges of
which the'drumnmer is a proud ex

who have taken the 8. 8. 8 medicine, and are

to refer the sceeptic privately, to those who w'ill
endorse everyihing that can be said In its
favor. Being professlonally much opposed to
