Mammoth Establishment and an
EnterpriSing Proprietor,

1t is hardly necessary for us to call attention
to the whole page communication from DIR. r.
V. Pierce, of the Worlds Dispensary, which
appears in this issue, as at least every invalid
suffering from Chronic Diseases must see and
take a lively interest in the sound. common
sense ideas therein set forth, as well as 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
wide reputation as that of DR.. Pierce-"T The
Worlds Dispensary." This establishment well
merits its appellation. 'The Worlds Dispen-
sary," as it is without doubt, the largest and
most complete of its kind that can be found
anywhere, and medicines are prepared within
its walls that find 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 NAV see. as we
did, large piles of boxes being shipped to
wholesale houses in every part of the land
also to foreign countries-even China and
Japan contributing to the demand for these
popular medicines. The Doctor has achieved
the immense patronage and demand for his
celebrated remedies by his great skill as q ply
sician, the superior curative virtues of the
remedies he has discovered, and his honorable
dealings, indomitabe 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 emil
nent physicians in succession had failed. This
success has had the effect to give him an i'm
mense practice at the Worlds Dispensary, 80
that. in single month, he probably treats and
| cures more cases of inveterate Chronic Dis
eases than most physicians, in ordinary prac-
| tce, treat in whole life time His practice
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
| specially, while DR.. Pierce, who has not only
| received degrees from at least two of the fret
! 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
| benefit OF DIR. Pierce's large experience. but
also that of a Council Of Physicians. eacl
skilled in his particular specially Besides al

pensing or drug clerks each skilled in his

be compounded with the greatest care Who
ever has observed as we have, the crowd o.
patients almost constantly in the reception
rooms at the Worlds Dispensary, and ha,
heard the heartfelt expressions of gratitude
and praise which they lavishly bestow upor
the honorable and neutrality-suspicious. canno
fail 10 agree with us that the diligent medlca
devotion, patient industry and unconquerablt
energy that have enabled DR.. Pierce to achieve
30 much, have at the same time conferred
real blessing upon suffering humanity. W.

only fair representation of one of the frs
business men of the land, whose fame is be
coming world-renowned, and whose enterpris,
contributes in no small degree to the prosperi

numbers, and in other various ways promot
