Our Reporter In Buffalo,
1t has been my privilege while sojourning in
this place, and during short respite from my Ia
bors, to pay a visit to the medicine mar" Of the
"Queen City of the Lakes. While the medical
world teens with commoncrs in skill and com
mOnplace remedies, the most Of which rise into
notice live brief per;od become obsolete, and are
lost in ob.curiiy pale beneath greater brill
lance, the truly worthy, those who by dint of Sc
we're application and close investigation are able
to rise above mediocrty, impart 10 the world use
full information, utilize the developments made,
and place before the afflicted specific remedi-

the merits of this medical gentleman, the agents
of his hands. From . small beginning and Of re-

conviction that the Eureka had been found, DIR.
r. v. Pierce, the subject of this article announced
to the world his discoveries in medicine, and the
positive inlunces they manisfest in disease. Upon
their specific properties rest their merits Their
virtues are worthily cxtOlled, and the tidings Of

echoed from every hill, valley and plain, while
his medicines are sought for and scattered over
the whole continent. 1t is by directing intuitive
faculties and the whole mental and physical ener
gies in q certain direction, that excellence is
reached and proficiency worthy Of public conf
dence attained. In this science, as in others, we
find the few who lead the van of followers, make

conversational and business aptitudcs and the cx-

very kindly placed at my disposal. As further
evidence of scholastic attainments, and an indomi-

chronic diseases and their successful treatment,
his many :plseontrbutcd to medical jour

While his specific medicines, with knowledge
of tloir application, being scattered broadcast
over the land and placed ut prices within the
reach of all life devoted to the interests of 9th
ers, and sehoOled amid suffering, cannot remain
idle to enjoy the fruits of such labor but instead
he still lends an ear to the appeals of the sick,
tender sympathy to the distressed, and a cheerful
heart and hand TO all their ncccsstics. No pow

that the mere manufacture and vending of med

out his enterprise the best medical talent is in
vOked. Every act comedies with system and dis

in every department. Passing into the labora-

extreme neatncss and orler. Every mechanism
necessary to facilitate the manufacture of his mod

order. The crude roots and barks are ground.
Pulverized and mixed by steam power, and most
important Of al, the process of extracting their
virtues is not by the stcreotypcd and imperfect
methods of the past, but by an entirely new dis
coycry of his Own, whereby perfect and beautiful
medicines are produced containing all the mcdic-
nal qualities Of the ingrulicnts composing them,
and which are piatable and without equal. So |
perfect is their composition, the ingredients SO
nicely proportional and adjusted, superior the
mode of manufacture, that they are perfectly |
transparent, and not subject to change in any eli
mate or temperature. 1t is with such means per-
feet in themselves, and their correct adaptation
that his skill in disease is partly attributable, and
the public are not slow to understand and appre-

for his medicines from all parts of the continent. |
