The Peoples Common Sense Medical Adj
wiser, in plain English, or Medicine Simpl-
fed: By r. V. PIERCE, NJ. D., COunselor-in-
Chief of the Board of Physicians aud Sur
geons, at the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo,
NY. The above Works. book of about
nine hundred large pages, profusely illus
trated with Wood Engravings and Colored
plates, and well and strongly bound-will be
sent, post paid, to any address, for One Dol
lar and Fifty ceDts-making it the cheapest
book euer offered to the american People.
Other books trea ing of domestic medicine, OF
like size and style of binding, and not nearly
as we'll illustrated, with no colored plates,
and some of them containing no prescrip-
tons and making known no means of self
cure for the diseases which they discuss, sell
for from three dollars and half to i've dol
lars. Were DIR. Pierce's Work not published
by the author, printed and bound with his
own machinery, and were it sold through
agents, as other like works are, the price OF
it would have to be not less than four dot
lars. For when the publisher pays the au-
thor 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 Pc
euniary loss which he assumes in taking the
chsnces of the enterprise proving success,
and when the State, County and canvas>lng
agent has each received his profit,
they have added to the expense of a
book, that originally cost about SLID: SO
than $500 for it. The Peoples Medical Adj
wiser, on the contrary, is placed within the
pecuniary reach of all classes by the author,
who adopts the plan of the Grangers, dis
pensing with middle men and giving the
benefit of their profits to the people, offering
his book at price little above actual cost OF
publication. That those desiring the book
III oSIo ,;,,rr fbair i'm nd
ing it through the mails, the author adyer-
tises that money addressed to him at Buffalo,
n. Y, and inclosed in registered letters, may
be at his risk of loss. The authors large cor
respondence with the people upon medical
matters, which, we are credibly informed,
frequently exceeds three hundred letters Il
day, and requires several trained and skiiful
medical assistants and shorthand reporters
to enable him to entertain and answer them,
as well as his large daily dealings with dis
ease at the Worlds Dispensary, appear to
have peculiarly fitted him for writing the
Work, by rendering him very familiar with
the everyday medical needs of the people.
He endeavors in this Work to answer al the
numerous questions relating to health and
disease that have been addressed TO MN by
the people from all parts of the land, and
hence il contains important information for
the Young and old, male and female, single
and married, nowhere else to be found. All
the most prevalent diseases of both sexes are
also plainly and fully considered, and means
of self-cure made known. Culike other
works on Domestic Medicine, it includes the
subjects of Biology, Cerebral Physiology,
Hygiene. Temperaments, Marriage, Repro
d1ction, etc, all of which are treated in an
original and interesting manner. It is COM
pendulum of Anatomical, Physiological and
Medical Science, and embodies the latest dis
coveries in each department.
