that my Golden Meiical Discovery is "sim-

furaiion of all the various and ridiculous
bogus receipts for making my medicines
that have ever been, or may hereafter he
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
success" for it is because some sufferer has
obtained relief and cure, that that sufferer
has sent another to me; and il il because
thousands have been cured that they have
recommended me and nv supe rior remedies
to other thousands of sufferers. In this way
[ am constantly making EUiHg advertise
ments for myself and medicines. IL is a
common thing to hear people say that plenty
of advertising will make success out OF
anything, whether it has any merit or not.
Nothing could be farther from the truth. IL
is with this deusive idea actua'ing them
that thousands have rushed headlong into
advertising. only to find themselves bank
rupt in n little while. Not more than one
in five hundre !. who engages in advertising
medicines, ever makes a financial success
out of the undertaking, for the reason that
medicine to be successful must possess
unusual and erfrdord nary merit 1t is not
enough that it should be a remedy of far
efficacy; it must possess superior AMI r' n
derful remedial properties, for if it does not,
those who use it with the most sanguine en-
pecrations will condemn it. They will ex
pect much of il, and il must be equal to the

tor. For, although great display OF al
vert sing will many times, create con~i-
derable immediate demand for the article
advertised, yet il that art Gle Dies not pos
sess real merit, the demand will be only
temporary; the fraud wi be detected and
the reaction will upset the proprietor and
all his high expectations. long before he is
abe To recover the amount OF money already
expended. With this view Of the ,ubj CT,
have felt warranted in contracting for hun
dreds OF thousands of dollars worth Of adj
verti>ing in the newspapers OF this and
other countries. feeling perfectly assured
that the merits of my remedies were SO
great as TO inure financial success out Of
such a buld undertaking. And in this |
have not been disappointed. for my sales
have increased steadily year after year. un-
iii they will this year largely exceed half
million dollars worth of medicines. 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. thu,
great success is never achieved without
merit. An article that holds Ih- field year
after year. and the sales of which increase
regularly and rapidly, must have absolute
merit"
The article continues: "Dr. r. V. Pierce,
of Buffalo, n. Y. occupies our entire eighth
page to-day with his various articles. We
admit it because we know the Doctor. and
know of his articles. We know him TO be a
regularly educated physician, whose dplo-
ma hangs on the wall of his office, and we
know that he has associated with him seve-
raj of the most eminent 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 in enormous
quantities. in every Safe in the Union, and
very largely in many foreign countries.
This grand result has been accomplished
by two agencies-good, reliable articles
articles which. once introduced. work easily
their own way-and splendid business man
agement. They have succeeded because
they ought TO have succeeded"
In conclusion, cannot offer better re-
furaiion OF the slanderous reports published

tenion TO the testimonials on file in my
office. which are open to the in-pection OF
