OUR REPORTER IN BUFFALO.
1t has been my privilege while So
journing in this place, and during q |
short respite from my labors, 70 pay,
visit to the medicine man" of the
"Qucen City of the Lakes" While the
medical world teens with commoners
in skill and commonplace remedies, the
most of which rise into notice, live
brief period, become obsolete, and are
lost in obscurity or pale beneath greater
brilliance, the truly worthy, those who
by dint of severe application and close
investigation are able to rise above
mediocrity, impart to the world useful
information, utilize the Developments
made, and place before the afflicted
specific remedial agencies for the ills
suffered, are blessings to be appreciated,
objects worthy of honor. They are the
beacon lights to guide the mariner over
the tempestuous sea of life, the star of
hope towards which the unfortunate
turn their eyes for safety and deliver
ance. i would not exaggerate the mer-
its of this medical gentleman, or the
agents of his hands. From q small be-
ginning, and of recent date, yet after
long and patient toll and q conviction
that he Eureka had been found, DIR. r.
v. Pierce, the subject of this article,
stuuOuuCCu " luC WOElu ulb ulbCOVcElCb
in medicine, and the positive influences
they manifest in disease. Upon their
specific properties rest their merits.
Their virtues are worthilY extolled, and
the tidings of their efficacy have gone
from mouth to mouth, until his name
is heard in every habitation and echoed
from every hill, valley and plain, while
his medicines are sought for and scat
tered over the whole continent. 1t is
by directing intuitivc faculties and the
whole mental and physical energies in
certain direction, that excellence is
reached and a proficiency worthy of
public confidence attained. In this
science, as in others, we find the few
who lead the van of followers, make all
the Investigations and discoveries for
the rest. i found DIR. Pierce in his con-
sultation parlors, surrounded with pa
tients and amid piles of books, papers,
manuscripts, and letters, a large library,
cabinet of curious looking instruments
another of anatomical, pathological and
other specimens, maps, pictures and
diplomas, which he has received from
different colleges and hospitals, upon
the walls, with assistants passing here
and there, that at once conveyed the
idea of an immense business of which
he was the central figure, and 1t diverg.
ing in all directions. Although in
rooms thus furnished and decorated
with surroundings characteristic OF
talent and learning, also indica-
tive of life crowded with
cares and duties, with an ap.
probation of valuable services by an
afflicted public, was most agreeably
entertained, both by his conversations
and business aptitudes and the exhibit
ton that his establishment affords
soT, hn lii 81 n
posal. AS further evidence of schol
astic attainments, and an indOmitablt
zeal in the investigation of the nature
of chronic diseases and their successful
treatment, his many monographs con
tributed to medical journals, and seve
raj late exhaustive treatises on specia
chronic diseases, which were written il
the intervals between business cares
fully attest. We see patients at hi
rooms from all parts of the continent
afflicted with all kinds Of chronic disea
who have come to avail themselves o
his superior skill, and those associated
with him, making q Council of Doctor
who have devoted lives TO this special
ty. Besides this, an endless numbe
make known their maladies by letter al
of which are very carefully considered
by DIR. Pierce and his medical counsel
ors, the necessary prescriptions, advic
or medicines being promptly forwarded
by mail or express, none being neglec
ted, but every inquiry answered, ever,
want supplied, and every attention paiC
necessary to establish health again
Aside from all this, there are. man,
from his own immediate communiti
who seek his services, and by the won
derful cures made, attest his great skill
in treating chronic diseases. A beauti
full illustration of the instincts and fine
feelings of true manhood is here exem
plified. While his specific medicines
with knowledge of their application
are being scattered broadcast over tn
land, and placed at prices within tn
reach of all, n life devoted to the inter
of others, and schooled amid suffering
cannot remain idle to enjoy the fruits O
such labor, but instead, he still lends q
ear to the appeals of the sick, a tende
sympathy TO the distressed, and a cheer
full heart and hand to all their necessi
ties. No poverty, however abject, o
adverse circumstances, however dis
couraging, need debar the afflicted fror
approaching him for his services. The
are cheerfully rendered alike to all. ]
proves also that the mere manufactur
and vending of a medicine does no
satiate the aspirations and impulses of
charitable and manly heart. In carry
best medical talent is in
voked. Every act comedies wit
system and discipline, and the mos
harmonious activity prevails in ever
department. Passing into the labora
tory, we are most faVorably impresse
with its extreme neatness and order
Every mechanism necessary to facilitat
the manufacture of his medicine is used
and these are arranged in perfect order

and most important of all, the process
of extracting their virtues is not by tn
stereotyped and imperfect methods @
the past, but by an entirely new dis
covery of his own, whereby perfect an,
beautiful medicines are produced con
tanning all the medical qualities of tn
ingredients composing them, and whic
are palatable and without equal. s.
perfect are their competition, the in
gradients so nicely proportional an,
adjusted, so superior the mode of man
ufacture, that they are perfectly trans
parent and not subject to change in an
climate or temperature. 1t is with sue
means, perfect in themselves, and thei
correct adaptation, that his skill in dis
ease is partly attributable, and the pub
lie are not slow to understand and an

enormous demand 1Or his medicine

is done by girls; also folding. printed

put up for shipment to all parts of tn
land. i was informed that many times
with these superior facilities for pre-
pairing medicines, the demand for DIR
Sage's CataTrh Remedy, OF which DIR
Pierce is the sole proprietor and manu-
facturer, and also for the Doctors Col

dollars would remain in waiting TO b,

medicine. The above details / havt
