knave, located in Chicago, glves the chief in gredients of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy as being Blue Vitriol, which is only equaled In absurdity by another issued by parties in Phil adelphia who say that the ingredients compos- ing Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy are e burnt Alum white Vitriol, Sugar of Lead, and Prus. slate of Iron " and that my Golden Medical Discovery is "simply Syrup and tincture of Ginger" In refutation of all the various and ridiculous bogus receipts for making my medi- cnes that have ever been, or may hereafter be published and circulated, would say that have, in dealing with the people, ever been governed by the maxim that "honesty is the best policy" and that |" success makes sue cess ;' for it is because some sufferer has ob- tained relief and cure, that that sufferer has sent another to me; and it is because thou sands have been cured that they have recom- mended me and my superior remedies to other thousands of sufferers In this way am con stantly making liUing advertisements for my self and medicines. It is common thing to hear people say that plenty of advertising will make 8 success out of anything, whether it has any merit or not. Nothing could be far | ther from the truth. It is with this delusive idea actuating them that thousands have rushed headlong into advertising, only to find | themselves bankrupt in little while. Not moro than one in five hundred, who engages in advertising medicines, ever makes than | cial success out of the undertaking for the reason that 8 medicine to be successful must possess unusual and extraordinary merit. It is not enough that it should be remedy of tdir | efficacy; it must possess superior and 'oonder- | ful remedial properties, for if it does not those who use it with the most sanguine ex- pectations will condemn it. They will expect | much of it, and it must be equal to the test, or it will prove ruinous to the proprietor. For, although 8 great display of advertising will, | many times, create 8 considerable immediate demand for the article advertised, yet if that article does not possess real merit the demand will be only temporary; the fraud will be de- tected, and the reaction will upset the proprie- | tor and all his high expectations, long before already expended. With this view of the sub ject have felt warranted in contracting for hundreds of thousands of dollars worth Of ad- vertising in the newspapers of this and other merits of my remedies were 50 great as to in sure financial success out of such 8 bold , undertaking. And in this have not been dis appointed, for my sales have increased steadily year after after, until they will this year largely | exceed half million dollars worth of my medl- cines This grand success, am certain, could never have been attained had the medicines not possessed superior and wonderful merits The Toledo Blade, in an editorial article, has truly said, alluding to my business that great success is never achieved without merit. An article that holds the field year after year, and the sales of which increase regularly and rapid 1y must have absolute merit"
 The article continues: Dr. k. V. Fierce, l O1 buud1O, IN! 4s3 OScuPAoo OuA OAsAAS OAoASA page to-day with his various articles We ad- mt it becsuse we know the doctor, and know of his articles We know him to be regularly educated physician, whose diploma hangs OH the wall of his office, and we know that he has associated with him several of the most emi- nent practitioners in the country. We know that parties consult him, by mail and in person, from all the States in the Union every day, and that they are fairly and honestly dealt with. We know that his medicines are sold il enormous quantities in every State in the Union, and very largely in many foreign coun, tries.
 s'This grand result has been accomplished
 by two agencies-good, reliable artlcles-arti
 cles, which, once introduced, work, easily, theil own way-and splendfd business management They have succeeded because they ought te
 have succeeded"
 In conclusion cannot offer better refuta ton of the slanderous reports published con cerNing my medicines than to call attention t(
 the testimonials on file in my office, which arc
 open to the inspection of the public. They art from all parts of the world, and express tho gratitude of thousands that have been afflicted
 with Chronic Catarrh, Lingering Coughs; vari
 ous Blood Diseases, affecting the skin, fesI
 and bones, severe diseases peculiar to females
 and many other forms of obstinate diseases
 and have been cured by the use of my Famil,
 Medicines, after suffering for years and being pronounced incurable by eminent physicians. R. V. PIERCE, M. D.,
