A Famous Medical Institution.
fFrom the Chicago Times.)

1.-THE name of Dr. r. V. Pierce has become
as familiar to the people all over the country
as household words. His wonderful RENE
dies, his pamphlets and books, and his large
medical experience have brought him into
prominence and given him solid reputation.
The Times, in the present issue, presents a
whole page communication from DIR. Pierce,
and our readers may gain from 1t some idea OF
the vast proportions Of his business and the
merits of his medicines. He has at Buffalo a
mammoth establishment, appropriately
named The Worlds Dispensary, where
patients are treated and the remedies CON-
pounded. Here nearly hundred persons
are employed in the several departments and
a corps of able and skilled physicians stand
ready To alleviate the sufferings of humanity
by the most approved methods. These ply
sicians are in frequent consultation with DR..
Pierce, and their combined experience Is
brought to bear on the successful treatment
Of obstinate eases. The doctor is a man of a
large medical experience, and his extensive
knowledge of materia medlca has been ac-
knowledged by presentations OF degrees from
two of the first Medical Colleges in the land.
How meritorious his works are may be in
fcrred from the fact that his pamphlets and
books have been translated into German,
Spanish, and other foreign languages, and
have been in heavy demand. As an evidence
Of the business of the dispensary 1t is only
necessary to state that for the quarter ending
March 81, 1874, the sum expended for postage
alone, not to speak Of that paid on newspapers
received, was S2,0s0.70. A perusal of the COM
munication will be found interesting reading,
and will show to what proportions medical

A CAPITAL of 100000 sterling is being
raised in London, by joint stock subscrip
ton, for the establishment of morning
and evening newspaper upon what is
specifically defined as commercial
basis. In short, this journal, while Civ.
ing all Abe news very fully, is to sell its
political, literary and other editorial ser
vices TO the public, just as great lawyer

the different departments; and, in fact,
this original newspaper Is to be conduct

No MORE HEROES. deadly v

No MORE HEROES. The deadly veg.
etable alkaloids, such as Mercury,
Strychnine and Prussic Acid, cannot
cure disease or produce any but the most
disastrous results. Perhaps no event has
occurred of late years which is SO well
calculated TO disabuse the public mind
of belief i'm the efficacy of mineral
poisons and bleeding as the discovery OF
DIR. Walker, OF California, of certain
medicinal herbs, whose healing prin
ciples he has extracted and combined In
the form of VINEGAR BITTERs. The cures
wrought by it seem marvellous. Its &C
ton is mild and agreeable, but at the
same time rapid and effectual, and being
unimpeded by the presence OF alcohol or
fermented liquor of any description is
attended with results hitherto unachieved
by any remedial agent. The cures Of
Bilious Complaints, Malarious Fever,
Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, Scrofula, and
all diseases arising from impurities OF
the blood attest the paramount excel.
lence of this medicine, and justify US in
recommending it.

his spirit took its flight to that world
of which the living have but the faint
