Any patent medicine, however worthless, will make its advocate
rich if he will only persist in advertising it. The dear
public succumb in the long run. They can not stand up under
the continuous force of his big-lettered suggestions. They
rather enjoy being humbugged. What splendid advantage the big
stores take of this weakness on our part! All they need do is
to keep offering suggestions of cheapness or of the supposed
worth and imagined usefulness of their wares, and multitudinous
innocent ones, whose sole interests the advertiser seems to
have at heart, take hold of the tempting bait.--ROBERT
MACDONALD.
