DR.. Pierce's Work not published by the auth,
printed and bound with his own machinery, al
are, the price OF it would have to be not less
than four dollars. For when the publisher
pays the author a fair price for his production,
then adds a profit to his investment large
enough to satisfy himself and compensate him,
not only for his labor, but also for the risk of
pecuniary loss which he assumes in taking the
chances of the enterprise proving q success,
and when the State. county and. canvassing
agent has each received his profit, they have
added to the expense of q book, that originally
cost about SLIPS, 80 much that the people have
to pay not less than $500 for it. The Peoples
Medical Adviser, On the contrary, is placed
within the pecuniary reach of all classes by the
author, who adopts the plan of the Changers,
dispensing with middle men and giving the
benefit Of their profits to the people, offering
his book at a price little above actual cost Of
publication. That those desiring the book may
run no risk of losing their money in sending it
through the mails, the author advertises that
money addressed to him at Buffalo, N. Y, and
inclosed in registered letters, may be at his risk
of loss. The authors large correspondence
with the people upon medical matters, which
We are credibly informed frequently exceeds
three hundred letters a day, and requires sew
eral trained and skillful medical assistants and
shorthand reporters to enable him to entertain
and answer them, as well as his large daily
dealings with disease at the Worlds Dispenssry,
appear to have peculiarly fitted him for writing
the Work, by rendering him very familiar with
the every day medical needs of the people.
He endeavors in this Work to answer al the
numerous questions relating to health and dis
ease that have been addressed TO him by the
people from all parts of the land, and hence il
contains important information for the youne
and old, male and female, single and married
nowhere else to be found. AL the most preya.
lent diseases of both sexes are also plainly an6
fully considered, and means Of ~self-cure made
known. Unlike other works on Domestic Med
icine, it includes the subjects of Biology, Cere
bral Physiology, Hygiene, Temperaments, Mar
rage, Reproduction, ETC., all of which arr
treated in an original Inc interesting manner
1t is a compendium of Anatomical, Physiologi
cal and Medical Science, and embodies the
latest discoveries in each department.
