popular judgment, deliberately made up, is cor¬ 
rect and reliable. It stamps with its own pecu¬ 
liar seal whatever it approves. The reputation 
which survives its searching and critical tests 
is established on a firm foundation. The really 
meritorious article.finds favor at first but slowly 
and with many rebuffs; its inherent virtue con¬ 
tinually asserts itself; its elasticity rebounds 
higher with every check, until it reaches the 
height of favor, to which it is entitled. 
Burnett’s Standard Preparations are articles 
in point. They have been before the public 
many years: one by one they acquired friends; 
then they counted their hundreds; then their 
thousands. Success created rivals; competition 
assailed them, but their sterling merits with¬ 
stood all opposition, and the popular verdict 
was largely rendered in their favor.- 
Burnett’s Toilet Articles are now “ household 
words,’’ and in household use throughout the 
States and in many foreign countries. 
They are of such admirable make as to com- 
.bine substance with elegance —the supply of a 
genuine want with an appeal to! the imagination 
in the poetry of their composition. And so 
long as ladies think 
Loveliness 
Needs the foreign aid of ornament,. 
And is, when thus adorned, adorned the most, 
Burnett’s Preparations will enjoy an ever in¬ 
creasing sale, and an ever brightening reputa¬ 
tion.
