Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1875-11-16
COMMUNICATED,

Mr.. Editor: The rebuilding of the works
at Harper's Ferry, and the establishment of
the Jefferson County Agricultural College,
seem to be"the absorbing theme throughout
our section, and it is properly SO, because they
are home objects, no Utopian scheme, but
practical home enterprises in which all are In
terssted who care for the mental, moral and
| physical desolopement of themselves, their
neighbor, yea, society itself. We, in this
place, did not, until the appearance oftseveral
articles, or letters, from different parts of the
county, in your recent issues, understand nor
comprehend the true character of the enter>
prise-to start such College as is contem-
plated. It ID really noble undertaking and
deserves, and It most certainly will receive,
encouragement and substantial aid from our
people. We intend giving our best efforts
for its Advancement, and now publicly call
upon our representatives in the Legislature
not to leave anything undone to promote the
success of the Institution. It is something
we need, and must have. An institution of
this kind will materially aid in building up
our whole county, give new life to our droop-
ing energies. 1t will bring among US foreign
capital, new people, strangers, and open up
now sources Of pleasure and profit, and through
the students will place Us in direct communi-
cation with our sister States. Wewant inter-
course with tho world, too long have we been
shut up in our county lines, like clam in her
shell. This College started, and the great
Water Power of Harper's Ferry properly uti>
lized, will set old Jefferson, and this section
ton of our State, upon her feet. It will be
like starting new life for our now depressed
people. If our delegates do their duty, the
State will aid this College. They can with
propriety claim State aid for this section,
which is essentially the agricultural part
thereof. They can claim it upon tine grounds,
that the Constitution of the State requires
the Legislature to "encoursge and foster in
situations, looking TO the advancement of ag-.
riculture and the sciences" Success to the
College. HARPER's FERRY.

A REMARKABLE PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS.
Among the notable professional men of this
country who have achieved extraordinary suc>
cess is DR.. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y
The prominence which he has attained has
been reached through strictly legitimate means,
and, SO far, therefore, he deserves the en-
viable reputation which he enjoys. This large
measure of success is the result of a thorough
and careful preparation for his calling, and
extensive reading during long and unusually
large practice, which have enabled him to
gain high commentator, even from his pro-
fessional brethren. Devoting his attention to
certain spccialties of the science he has SO
carefully investigated, he has been rewarded
10 a remarkable degree. In these specialties,
he has become recognized leader. Not
few of the remedies prescribed by him have,
it is said, been adopted and prescribed by
physicians in their private practice. His
pamphlets and larger works have been re-
ccivcd as useful contributions to medical
knowledge. He has recently added another,
and perhaps more important work, because CT
more general application. to the list Of his
published writings. This book, entitled
1.-The Peoples Common Sense Medical ADJ
vises," is designed to enter into general cir
culaton. DR.. Pierce has received acknowl-
edgmcnts and honors from many sources, and
especially scientific degrees from two of the
FIRST medical institutions in the land.
