tanning no prescriptions and making known no

discuss, sell for from three dollars and half
to five dollars. We're Dr.. Pierce's work not
published by the author, printed and bound
with his machinery, and were it sold
through agents, as other like works are, the
price of 1t would have to be not less than
fOla dollars. For when the publisher pays
the author 81 fair price for his production, then
adds d profit to his Investment large enough
! to eatlsfv himself and compensate him. not
only for his labor but also for the risk of pc
cuniary loss which he assumes in taking the
chances OF the enterprise proving success,
and when the state, county and canyassing
agent has each received his profit, they have
added to the expense of a book, that originally
cost about ST.. so 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 peo
pie, offering his book at price little above
actual cost of publication. That those de-
sirlng the book may no risk of losing their
money In sending it through the mails, the
author advises that money addressed to him at
Buffalo. New York. and enclosed in registered
letters. may be at his risk of loss. The arl-

letters a day, and requires several trained and
sklllful medical assistants and shorthand re-
porterS to enable MIN to entertain and answer
them, as well as his large daily dealings with
disease at the Worlds Dispensary, appear to
have peculiarly fitted him for writing the
work. by rendering him very familiar with the
every day medicinal needs of the people. He
endeavors in this work to answer all 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 it
