1t is unnc cessary for us TO call attention /
to the new advertisement of DR.. r. V.
PIERCE, proprietor Of the celebrated
''W orld's Dispcusary," " which appears in F.
.his issue, for 1t certainly cannot fail to be
noticed by every reader OF the paper. But
we would commend it to all, as containing
facts of general interest and worthy of
careful perusal. The business of Dr.
PIERCE. from 4 small beginning, has grown
and tiourishcd steadily until it has attained
its present colossal proportions. The pop
ularity of his medicines is unboUnded, and
the demand for them n this and other
countries increases daily.
The establishment is located in the Cour-
ter Block on Erie Street, and the tive-story
building, with front of 20 feet on Erie
Street by so On the Terrace, 5 occupied
from basement to roof. Over seventy
hands, men, boys and girls, are employed,
and this large force Is kept busy every
working-day Of the year. Orders for the
medicines are received from every SCate
and Territory in the Union, and. the for-
sign trade forms no small part of the bust
ness. Large shipments have been made
to Chill, the Island of St. Thomas, the
Sandwich Islands, Japan, China, England,
Germany, and many other foreign cOun-
tries. The Doctors books and pamphlets
have been issued in German and Spanish,
and he IS now preparing to send agents to
South America, the trade in that part Of
the world having become so large as to de
mand this step. AS evidence Of the mag
nitudc of the business, we would state
that the sum expended for postage alone
for the quarter ending March 3ist, 1874,
toots up 50, OSt.T0.
The establishment is complete in every
part, and the most perfect system prevails
in each department.. a walk through it
would fairly astonish almost any one. In
the dispepsary department three thorough
ly-e6ucated physicians of large experience
assist the Doctor, WHO himself has re-
ceived degrees from at least two of the
first Medical Colleges of the land. The
diplomas are to be seen au9ing in his
private Office. a large number of cases
are constantly under treatment. In this
department are also employed several dis
pensing and other clerks to fill pTeSCrip-
tions, make records of cases treated, &c.
The newspaper advertising is under the
charge of Air j. ". SCOTT, U-ho has
number Of assistants and everything in
this line is conducted very Systematically.
4 special feature of the establishment is
the printing department, which includes
three cylinder and three Gordon presses.
This, as well rs all other machinery used,
is furnished with power from a large en-
gjne on the first floor. -Four folding ma
chimes are in constant operation, besides
other mechanical apparatus used 10 facili-
tate the work
The manufacturing and putting-up de-
paTtments are very extensive, and the same
system and order already noticed prevails.
The entire building has been adapted TO
its present use, and the latest improve
meuts, tending to lessen HE amount of
manual labor, have been introduced by the
enIerprising proprietor. The utmost care
IS exercised in the preparation of medi-
cincs, pills, Gcc., and extreme caution is
taken TO prevent any deviation from Cstab-
lished rules. Each department il in charge
of competent person, while the Doctor
himself pers Dnally controls and superyises
ali the branches.
The counting room, together with the
shipping depart mcnt, DC, is on the first
floor and goods are ShiUDid on the Ter
race-side Of the building. Dr. PIERCE's
private Offices and reception rooms are on
the second floor. The building through
out is heated with steam from the boiler
located IN the basement, and one of those
very necessary articles, a steam rlevator
connects the different stories. The extent
Of the business requires the most vigorous
action on the part of the employees, and
steam power and machinery are utilized in
every possible way.
For statements in regard to DR.. PIERCE's
treatment Of cases, his medicines, including
the famous ''Catarrh Remedy Golden
Medical Discovery ''Favorite Prescrip-
tioL," &c, we refer our readers to the ad-
veTtisement, which contains full and salts
factory information on those points. The
popularity of these remedies is we'll under
stood, and, as stated above, they are ex
tensiveiy sold throughout America and in
many foreign countries. DIR. PIERCE's es-
Enlistment well merits its appellation
"The Worlds Dispensary,'' as it is, with
out doubt, one of the largest and most com
plete Of its kind that can be found any
where. The Doctors energy and enter
prise have boen rewarded with wonder
ful, almost unlimited, degree of success
