Thomas Holloway, the great pill
and ointment man in London, writes
to fti. Prairie News on the subject
of advertising. He says:
"Dear Sir, A correspondent of
yours has recommended your paper
to me as an advertising medium. He
mentioned the circulation, but may
hare been mistaken in the amount.
Will you kindly Inform me as to the
circulation of your weekly, as I wish
to make a contract with you for the
insertion of my advertisement. I am
unlimited In my advertising; my list
of papers Is now 1S00 and I am pay
ing In advance. Yours respectfully.
To which the editor of the News
responds:
Very dear Sir, The circulation of
the Tralrle News, which has been In
creased with unexampled rapidity
for more than two years, now

amounts to forty-three, though 1 am
bound In honor to say that two of
my subscribers being very precarious
pay, I snail probably cut them off be
fore this letter reaches you, so that
you are at liberty to consider the list
reduced to forty-one. To this num
ber should be added seven gratis
copies, sent to as many friends of
mine at a distance, out of compli
ment to their indefatiguable exer
tions in procuring new subscribers.
This number should be further aug
mented by a permanent exchange list
of sixty-five, making In all a cpn
stant weekly circulation of one hun
dred and thirteen, besides an aver
age of half a dozen surplus copies
every week, which are sent with re
llelous scrupulosity to postmasters
and other distinguished Individuals
In benighted parts of the world. I
have good grounds for estimating
my reading patronage at forty-nine
persons per copy. You may safely
calculate that the 6537 readers of
nir naner would consume on an av
erage of 4en dollars worth per an
num, each, of your pills and oint
ment, particularly the pills, for I can
not promise you an extensive sale of
your ointment In this region, cuta
neous diseases being rare, as may be
inferred from the fact that the for

So you percelce I shall be the means
of onentng a market to you for $55,-
370 worth of the invaluable remedies
which have immortal-lles-ed your
name, on which, after deducting the
cost of materials, boxes, etc., your
profit will be about eighty-five per
cent, or 147.064.50. Upon this
handsome increase of your profits,
accruing through my Instrumental
ttv. I propose to charge the moder
ate commission of one per cent, or
$473,62 4. If these terms do not
suit you, come over by the next
steamer, and we'll talk about it. If
you are satisfied with them, for the
first quarterly Instalment of $117.

year's subscription to Punch, Diog
enes, and The Times, all of which
are good papers, and should be en
couraged, and send me the balance

stalments may be sent, at your op
tion, in Dank of England notes, or
any sort of truck except your med
icines. Give my best respects to
Queen Victoria, the next time you
see her; tell her she is a lady whom
I greatly esteem, and that I. often
think with what satisfaction, while
this disastrous war Is so thinning the
population of her realms, she must
reflect that she, at least, has done
her duty In the way of keeping it
up. Your obedient servant,
