Sullivan next exposed the disgraceful violation of the confidence of women by these nostrum vendors in selling their most confidential letters to any one who would buy them. Sullivan himself bought thousands of these letters and names, and then wrote about them in the magazine. One prominent firm indignantly denied the charge, asserting that whatever others might have done, their names were always held sacred. In answer to this declaration Sullivan published an advertisement of this righteous concern offering fifty thousand of their names for sale.

白话

沙利文接着揭露了那些卖专利药的人如何无耻地辜负了女性的信任:她们把最私密的信件卖给任何愿意出钱的人。沙利文自己买下了成千上万封这样的信和名单,然后在杂志上写了出来。一家大公司愤怒地否认,声称不管别人怎么做,他们的客户名字始终是神圣不可侵犯的。为了回应这份声明,沙利文登出了这家“正义”公司的广告,上面写着他们愿意出售五万个客户名字。
