A Famous Medical Institution.

"The name of DR.. II. V. Pierce has become
as familiar to the people all over the country
as household words. His wonderful remedies,
his pamphlets and books, and his large medi-
cal experience have brought him into promi-
nence and given him solid reputation. The
Buffalo 1imeS,in recent issue, e,presents whole
page communication from DIR. Pierce, and our
readers may gain from it some idea of the vast
proportions of his business and the merits of
his medicines. He has at Buffalo mammoth
establishment, appropriately named, "The
Worlds Dispensary," where patients are treat
ed, and the remedies compounded. Here near
ly hundred persons are employed in the sew
eral departments, and corps of able and
skilled physicians stand ready to alleviate the
sut1erings of humanity by the most approved
methods. These physician are in frequent con-
situations with DR., Pierce, and their COM
bined experience are brought to bear on the
successful obstinate cases. The doctor is a
man of large medical experience, and his ex-
tensive knowledge of materia medica has been
acknowledged by presentations Of degrees from
two of the first Medical Colleges in the land.
How meretorious his works are may be inferred
from the fact that his pamphlets and books
have been translated into German, Spanish,
and other foreign language, and have been in
heavy demand. AS an evidence of the business
ofthe dispensary lis only necessary to state that
for the quarter ending March 81, 1874. the sum
expended for postage alone, not to speak of
that paid on newspapers received was $2,0S0,70.
perusal of the communication will be found
interesting reading, and will show to what pro-
portions medical Institution can grow under
able management and well-dreeted effort

Thirty Years. Experience OF an

Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup is the
prescription of one of the best Female Physl
clans and Nurses in the United States, and has
been used for thirty years with never failing safe

dren from the feeble infant of one week old to
the adult. 1t corrects acldity Of the stomach, re-
lieves wind collie, regulates the bowels and gives
rest, health and comfort to mother and child. We
believe it to be the Best and Surest Remedy in the

Doinrs Of Congress.

An exchange rather sarcastically sums
up the acts of the lately adjourned Con-
gress as follows
"We have looked with some care upon the
work of the last session of Congress to
find if possible the good accomplished by
our virtuous, intelligent and patriotic
solons, by some malicious people called the
delegated stupidity of the land. The
questions agitating the country, upon
which they were called to legislate, were
cheap transportation, financial and rigid
economy in the administration of the Gov
ornment. The cheap transportation re-
mains where the solons found it--unsolved.
The financial question was so muddled
that no man can understand it and as
for economy, Messrs. Garfield and Dawes,
in a sort of love-feast held between them,
thanked God and themselves for a reduc-
, tion of the appropriations some twenty
seven millions. AS this last, however, can
be verified only by the deficiency bills of
the next session, the thanks are somewhat
premature. After painful search
through all the acts of the Republican
apostles, we find but one upon which they
can go to the country. They have discharg-
ed nearly thousand clerks from the Gov
ernment service in Washington. One
thousand poor fellows, male and female,
principally female, have been turned out
TO starve, from n service that to be well
done really called for that number in
addition. The starvation is aggravated by
two months pay, gift made the wretched
clerks by an economical Congress.
To accomplish this gigantic work of
economy Congress sat for nearly seven
months at an expense of millions over and
above the pitiful sum saved by economizng
labor in the departments The transpor-
tation problem was left unsolved. The
financial difficulty, never understood, was
simply muddled. The economy foots up,
then, in the magnificent result above stated.
The Hon. Lycurgus Leatherlungs, upon the
stump this summer, soliciting a reelection,
can say:
My fellow-citizens 81 could not compre-
mend that matter OF transportation l know
that you are robbed by greedy monopolists,
and that the hard labor of life is taken from
you without recompense. But could not find
a remedy. know, too, that when your pro-
duce is carried to market, the price obtained
is taken from you in deprecated money and
heavy taxation; therefore you needed q sound
currency based on coin and more economy in
the Government. / could not find out how to
remedy the first nor am ! certain that we
have done much for the last. But, my fellow
citizens, I'll tell you what we did accomplish.
We turned out nearly thousand clerks in
Washington alone. Taking these vile Great
ures-vile because they have no political in
fuence-by the throat, we kicked them out.
Never paid more than enough to keep soul and
body together, we made them present of two
months pay and bade them 'go Vest Many
were crippled soldiers and sailors and the 9TH
ers were women. But we got away before the
thing was done. For this noble work claim
your appreciation and a return to office"

THE money editor of the Philadelphia
Ledger says "We learn by letter from
one of our largest iron workers, received
here by an officer connected with one of
our principal railway companies, that more
orders had been received for iron within
the last ten days then in all the six weeks
previously. We have heard of similar re-
vivals in various directions, and from these
manifestations, marked encouragement is
felt of an early revival and an active fall
business, especially in iron, and if in iron
necessarily in coal, and if in coal and iron,
then, as a consequence, in transportation
for which the railway companies are anx-
iously waiting"

Express and Mail Car Burned.

Norfolk, Va, July 0.--The mail and ex-

train on the A. NJ. and o. railroad was en-
tirely destroyed by fire this afternoon,

agents G. L. Jones and j. N. Jennings, the
only persons in the car at the time, were
badly burned about the face and arms.
They were unable to give an alarm owing
to the burning Of the bell rope, and after an
Intellectual effort to save the most valuable
part Of the mail, they both jumped off and
were afterwards picked up in a bruised
condition. The fire was not discovered by
those on the forward cars until the train
run several miles, and the car was burned
down to the wheels. The origin of the fire
is not known.
