How to tbli. the Genuine Article. —Prof. E.
Lyon, while traveling ia Asia, discovered a flower,
which, when powdered, Is Bore death to ©very kind oi
Insect, from a Cockroach to a Fly. He protected hla
discovery by lettere-patent, government medals, &c~,
pat his signature upon every flask of the article and
named it Lyon’s Magnetic Insect Powder. He im
parted his secret to no one but his successor.
Purchasers of Insect Powder—and it is used in al
most every house—must see to it that they are not de
ceived by worthless imitations and counterfeits. The
Miniature of K. Lyon is the purchaser’s guarantee.
Look sharp for it, and buy no Insect Powder that does
not bear it. It may be had of Druggists and Family
Stores, at 26 cents per flask. Depot, 21 Park Row.N. Y.

HOW TO ADVERTISE.
Tlio following conversation occurred between the editor
of thin paper and H. T. ileloibold, druggist, 594 Broad
way.
Emtoil “Doctor, I understand that you Advertise in
more than two thousand newspapers."
Don-on - “Yep, sir. Of tbdfonrthotisaud papers pub
IDhed in the United States, I advertise in two thousand
sevcu hundred."
Enn'Ui.—“it is really astonishing, doctor, how you can
make it pay, and how you manage to keep tho account of
all of them, keeping your advertisements In the positions
agreed upon, make tho necessary changoa, etc."
Doctor.-" Well, sir, I will explain the matter, and
enter into a few dotaila which may interest you. Borne
eighteen years ago 1 had a small drug store in the city of
Philadelphia, and at that time manufactured my fluid
extract*. They had but a limited sale, and it required
considerable effort to bring them to tho notice of phy
eiciane. 1 was tolerably successful ultimately, and they
were very generally prescribed by medical practitioners.
At this time extracts wore sold to bulk -by the pound -
as ‘paregoric,* ‘syrup of squills,* and other compounds are
sold. My business increased in this way, but the protec
tion afforded me was slight A druggist receiving a
physician's prescription tor my article.for instance, would
in many cases, substitute that of his own manufacture
thereby causing difficulty between the practitioner and
mjself. My interests became so completely jeopardized
that 1 concluded either not to sell to dealers in bulk, no •
tify physicians of my determination, and bo satisfied
to remain ho obscure druggist in the upper part of a largo
city, or adopt some entirely different method. My mind
wss considerably exercised os to what plan was tho best
to adopt 1 was aware of the singular prejudice existing
in the rninda of practitioners and ‘high-toned druggists*
Bcaiiiit atJrcrdsing remedies, and, In truth, I then had
but limited means at my commaud to experiment in
i rinter’e ink,’when, one bright morning, while I was
sitting in my store waiting for customers, the Rev. Mr.
Oninn. of Philadelphia, happened in, and said, ‘Doctor,
you have a nice littlostore, and seem to be doing a fair
ursine?*to which I replied in the affirmative. Ho then
remarked. ‘Doctor, this is n business I think would suit
me, 1 presume I could employ a competent druggist, de.
vote some of my spare time to looking after the business
»ud thus make it pay. What think your* The idea at
once hashed oeros* my mind to sell out, and I said 1 did
Rl . t suppose he would have any difficulty m carrying out
his proposition. He then inquired the amount X would
sell out for. whereupou I named a sum, and he accepted
ike offer The negotiation was no sooner concluded than
i L-c gar, to look out for a new place, and. with a few hun
dred dollars as my rash capital, wax not long in finding
aimall office, at 810 Chestnut street. Philadelphia,which
I rented, opened, and made ready for business in a few
dsy?. Advertising to me was a new and untried field;
o t. with the small capital left, 1 determined to know-
that qnickly—its merits and value ; for cvf n at that
ea:ly date I was no hand to loiter, and 1 concluded to
.cowin a month. 1 manufactured a small stock and
.'Xpended sll my surplus cash amounting to about
in that short period. My experimental.,pgo
it.\n-tuc worked admirably, and fiom that timo I con
•iL »ed to succeed, and increased my advertising in a cor
reloading proportion. On these principle* 1 have man
aged to enlarge and expand my butine-i*. until it has
i.-fiicced its present magnitude."
Ejuior. “But, doctor, how do jou manage about the
making of contracts, the payment* to publishers, etc?"
Demon.- “Oh ! that ia a simple matter. When I have
;iD de to spare 1 invent the money in extending my name
buffißefs*, just aa a man does who purchases real
estate or cultivates a farm ; and 1 consider the investment
finally pood, in every respect. Nor do I ever attempt to
make contracts without the means to make payments,
any more than a nood fanner would think of cultivating
bis soil without the funds to pay for cultivation.'*
Editor.—" But, doctor, you have not yet exactly an
swered my question; what I wish to know more particu
larly is, bow yon make your contracts, and how you
know wbat profits are derived from the different
sources?”
Dour on,—“Well. these are qneetions frequently asked
of me i u m> place of business, on the street, or whererer
1 may happen to be. It is one of the first questions asked
ttr business men, and, moreover, I seldom open my daily
correspondence without finding two or (three letters rela
tive to the same subject, some going so far as to aak my
views of the value, as advertising mediums, of the dif
ferent papers I patronize. These writers always receive
civil replies. But, while we are on this theme, Mr. Editor,
permit me to relate a little incident that occurred to me,
and which I frequently relate to those with whom I am
familiarly acquainted. It happened about fifteen yean
ago, while I was yet young in the business. To com
mence: I chanced to be in the city of Washington, on
my way Booth, and. as usual, was desirous of progressing
on my journey as rapidly as possible. It was about five
P. M, when 1 arrived. 1 did not wait until after dinner;
1 wanted to know the proprietor of tbe leading paper in
the capital, and to mako a contract for advertising; so to
1 straightway proceeded, lie was out riding. I was
informed, and would not return to his office again that
day. I inquired for his residence, and, this ascertained
I determined to see him that night, as I desired to leave
early on tbe morning of tbe following day. Dinner being
over, 1 started out in search of Mr. Wallach. Now, Mr.
Editor, I presume you are acquainted with the said Mr
Wallach, of the Washington Evening Htar. If you are
not, permit me to say that he is a gentleman well worthy
of your acquaintance: but to the interview. Finding
Mr. Wallach at home, I presented my card, and related
my baßiness. His reply was polite, but pungent, and to
the point, in something like these words: This is not my
office, sir; I can be found there from 10 A. M. toB P. M.,
and my clerks attend to advertising.' 'But, Mr. Wallach,'
I remonstrated, 'that la all very well, hut 1 want to know
gou. I wish to leave in the early morning train, and I
know you will accommodate me.’ ’Well, what do you
want, sir, in the way <jf advertising?’ I showed him the
space, for which he immediately uamod a price, and
which I accepted as quickly. After rlosiug tho bargain,
he remarked, 'lx you had left this over until morning you
could have had It for out- half tho .sum-yes, probably foT
lees than half, if you had fought hard.’ I replied, Tf
that is the case, prebably I bad better pa> half-yearly, in
advance?' He guessed that was a good Idea, and I paid
for the w T holo six months in advance; but, remember, I
kne f Mr. Wallach."
Editor —“Doctor, do you mean to state that you pur
sue this liberal courae with all the papers in which you
advertise, and aro you acquainted with tho publisheraof
twemy seven hundred papers ?”
Doctor. "With the proprietors of all the leading
papers, and the majority of the others, I enjay a perso
nal acquaintance, and to auch papers aa the A'ttc York
Herald , Weekly Tribune, and Independent, I have some.
tiracß paid from fifteen hunired to three thousand dollars
tor the siDgle insertion of an advertisement, knowing
that In such coses the amount of spaco oocupiod, and the
importance of the transaction, would necessitate an iu
terview. On one occasion I offered the aum of FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLAKB for a page in the Sew York
Ilerald. The offer was accepted, but afterward de
clined, on account of press of matter, notwithstanding it
was double the usual advertising rates. This was at tho
time of tho fall of Klchmond. To concludo, I always
prefer dealing directly with publishers; friendly rela
tions once established, I have no fear of accepting thelc
best rates."
Editor.—" Well, doctor, I guess I shall have to follow
your advice, and eer Mr. Wallach. I am ploaaed with
tbe interview, and whenever inquiries aro made regard
ing tbe value of tbe Home Journal, as an advertising
medium, you must freely give the result of j our expe
rience with that paper."
Dootob. ‘This f promise to do with great ploasuro.
j> g._ Editor proceeds to his sanctum, pitta In print
tbe entire conversation, and, fearing that tho doctor may
take umbrage at bis uctiou, takes tho precaution to mail
him a marked paper. apJl w f m tf
