A Mammoth Establishment and an
EnterprIsIng Proprietor.
( It is hardly necessary for US to call atten-
/ ton to the whole-page communication from
! DR.. r. V. PIERCE, of the Worlds Dispensarv
which appears in this issue, as at least every
/ invalid suffering from Chronic Disease must
! see and take a lively interest in the sound,
/ common-sense ideas therein set forth as well
a. in the indisputable evidences of wonderful
/ cures that are given.
! Buffalo has several business establishments
] Of which she may justly feel proud, but few,
! if any, indeed, that has acquired such world
4 wide fame and reputation as that of DR.
! PIERCE" The Worlds Dispensary." This
! establishment well merits its appellatiOn,
/ :" The Worlds Dispensary," as it is without
/ doubt the largest and most complete OF its
/ kind that can be found anywhere, and med
/ icines are prepared within its walls that find
4 ready sale in every quarter of the globe. In
! fact the foreign trade forms no small part of
! the business.
| A visit to the shipping department, which is
/ on the first floor gives one slight idea OF the
| colossal proportions of the business there
/ transacted. Here the visitor may see as we
/ did, huge piles of boxes being shipped to
! wholesale houses in every part of the land,
/ also to foreign cOuntries-even China and ia
pan contributing to the demand for these pop
ular medicines. The Doctor has achieved
| this immense patronage and demand for his
! celebrated remedies by his great skill as phy-
! stefan, the superior curative virtues OF the
remedies he has discovered, and his honorable
dealings indomitable will and ceaseless indus
| try. The cures that he has effected have often
been wonderful, in fact almost miraculous,
having frequently been effected, as he has
shown us by ample evidence, after many emf
] npnT IlbySpi1nS in sion had failed This
| success has had the effect to give him an i'm
mense practice at the Worlds Dispensary, SO
that, in a single month, he probably treats
and cures more cases of inveterate Chronic
Diseases than most physicians, in ordinary
practice, treat in a whole lifetime. His prac-
tee has become so large that he is obliged to
employ four physicians to assist him in the
examination and treatment of cases. And in
the selection of his professional assistants he
has spared no expense to secure men OF thor
ough medical education, and who have been
well skilled in the school of experience. Each
devotes his whole time and attention to a
speciality, while Dr. PIERCE, who has not
only received degrees from at least two of the
first Medical Colleges in the land, the evidence
of which, in the shape of Diplomas, we noticed
hanging in his office, but has also the advan-
tage of an immense experience, is in constant
consultation with them over the more difficult
cases. Thus the patient has not only the ben
eft of DR.. PIERCE'S large experience, but also
that of a Council of Physicians, each skilled in
his particular speciality. Besides all these as
sistant physicians, in the dispensary depart
ment are also employed a shorthand reporter
70 assist in correspondence, and dispensing or
drug clerks, each skilled in his business, that
the Doctors prescriptions may be compound
ed with the greatest care. Whoever has OBJ
| served, as We have, the crowd of patients al
most constantly in the receptiOn-rOOms at the
Worlds Dispensary, and has heard the heart
felt expressions of gratitude and praise which
they layishly bestoW upon the honorable and
worthy proprietor, cannot fail to agree with
US that the diligent medical devotion, patient
industry and unconquerabe energy that have
enabled DR.. PIERCE to achieve so much have
| at the same time conferred a real blessing
upon suffering humanity. We publish the
above, not as paid puff" but as only
fair representation of one of the first business
men of the land, whose fame is becoming
world-renowned and whose enterprise con
tributes in no small degree to the prosperity
Of the city, giving employment to large num-
| bers, and in other various ways promoting
| the general welfare of the people.
